Joh_14:22. Judas (Thaddaeus or Lebbaeus, Mat_10:3; not, however, a brother of the Lord, Act_1:13-14, but son of one James, Luk_6:16)[154] expects a bodily appearance of Christ in Messianic glory, has in this view misunderstood Jesus, and is therefore surprised that He has spoken of His ἐμφανίζειν ἑαυτόν as having reference only to the man who loves Him, and not also to the world of the unbelieving, on whom the Messiah when He appeared was in truth to execute judgment.
τί γέγονεν ] What has come to pass, in respect to the fact that, etc.? What occurrence has determined Thee, etc.? See Kypke, I. p. 403 f. The foregoing καί as in Joh_9:36.

[154] Nonnus correctly remarks: υἱὸς ʼΙακώβοιο , κ . οὐ θρασὺς ʼΙσκαριώτης .
