Joh 7:29. Παρʼ αὐτοῦ εἰμί, I am from Him) This denotes eternal generation; from which follows as a consequence His mission [His being sent]. There are two points marked: the first is to be referred to [Ye know] both me, the second to the whence [I am]. I am, in this verse and in the preceding, is to be referred to the is, which occurs twice in Joh 7:27, “We know this man, whence He is, but when Christ cometh, no man knoweth whence He is.”
