An unction (χρίσμα)
The word means that with which the anointing is performed - the unguent or ointment. In the New Testament only here and 1Jo 2:27. Rev., an anointing. The root of this word and of Χριστός, Christ, is the same. See on Mat 1:1. The anointing is from the Anointed.
The Holy One
Christ. See Joh 6:69; Act 3:14; Act 4:27, Act 4:30; Rev 3:7.
Ye know all things (οἴδατε πα.ντα)
