Joh 4:34. Βρώμα, the meat) with which my appetite is satisfied.-τελειώσω, that I may finish) Not yet had Jesus reached the middle of His time of action, and yet now He is thinking of the end [the finishing work]: so earnestly did He act throughout. The same verb occurs, ch. Joh 5:36, “The works which My Father hath given Me to finish.” Concerning the thing meant, comp. ch. Joh 6:38-39, at the end: “I came down from heaven not to do Mine own will, but the will of Him that sent Me; and this is the Father’s will,” etc., “that of all which He hath given Me, I should lose nothing, but raise it up again at the last day.”-τὸ ἔργον, work) a work, one, great, and which embraces Israelites, Samaritans, and all nations.
