1 John 4:14 - Clarke's commentary and critical notes on the Bible

And we have seen and do testify that the Father sent the Son to be the Saviour of the world. And we have seen - Jesus Christ manifested in the flesh; see 1 John 1:1, etc.; and do testify - bear witness, in consequence of having the fullest conviction, that the Father sent the son to be the Savior of the world. We have had the fullest proof of this from his doctrine and miracles, which we heard and saw during the whole time that he sojourned among men.
