uses various terms to describe the incarnation. He conceives it with reference to the Father, as a sending, a mission. Hence 6 wéprpas pe He that sent me (John iv. 34; vi. 38; ix. 4; xii. 44, etc.): 0 méuyas we marnp the Father that sent me (John v. 37; viii. 18; xii. 49, ete.): with the verb dmroaréAAw to send as an envoy, with a commission; God sent (drrécretrev) His Son (John iii. 17; x. 836; 1 John iv. 10; compare John vi. 57; vii. 29; xvii. 18).
