John 7:28 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

Ye both know me, and ye know whence I am; you might have known me by the doctrine which I have taught, and the miracles which I have wrought among you; and you had known me, if you had not shut your eyes against the light, which shone in your face: or, you say and think that you know me. Others think that it is an irony, or as a question, Do you know me so well? If you did, you would know that I came not of myself, but was sent by my Father; and he that sent me is truth itself: but you know not the Father, and therefore cannot know me as indeed I am.

John 7:28

28 Then cried Jesus in the temple as he taught, saying,Ye both know me, and ye know whence I am: and I am not come of myself, but he that sent me is true, whom ye know not.
