This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Cried and said (ekraxen kai eipen). First aorist active indicative of krazō, to cry aloud, and second aorist active of defective verb erō, to say. This is probably a summary of what Jesus had already said as in Joh 12:36 John closes the public ministry of Jesus without the Synoptic account of the last day in the temple on our Tuesday (Mark 11:27-12:44; Matt 21:23-23:39; Luke 20:1-21:4).
Not on me, but on him (ou eis eme, alla eis ton). “Not on me only, but also on,” another example of exaggerated contrast like that in Joh 12:30. The idea of Jesus here is a frequent one (believing on Jesus whom the Father has sent) as in Joh 3:17.; Joh 5:23, Joh 5:30, Joh 5:43; Joh 7:16; Joh 8:42; Joh 13:20; Joh 14:1; Mat 10:40; Luk 9:48.
