John 6:38 - Coke's Commentary on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

I came down from heaven, &c.— "I came not to act according to the bent of human passions, which lead men to return whatever injuries are done them; and therefore I will not instantly leave off exhortingthose who at first reject me. Neither will I inflict immediate punishment on them; but I will bear with them, and try all possible means to bring them to repentance, that they may be saved; for I am come to do the will of him that sent me."

John 6:38

38 For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me.
