This voice came not because of me, &c.— Dr. Heylin renders this better, This voice came not for my sake, but for yours. It is literally, This voice came not for me, but for you—"not to assure me of the love of my Father, but to confirm you in the belief of my mission; that you may not be offended at the treatment I shall meet with, or quit your hope in me, on account of the sufferings which are coming upon me."
