This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
I know him (egō oida auton). In contrast to the ignorance of these people. See the same words in Joh 8:55 and the same claim in Joh 17:25; Mat 11:27; Luk 10:22 (the Johannine aerolite). “These three words contain the unique claim of Jesus, which is pressed all through the chapters of controversy with the Jews” (Bernard). Jesus is the Interpreter of God to men (Joh 1:18).
And he sent me (kakeinos me apesteilen). First aorist active indicative of apostellō, the very verb used of Jesus when he sent forth the twelve (Mat 10:5) and used by Jesus again of himself in Joh 17:3. He is the Father’s Apostle to men.
