This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
66. ἐκ τούτου. Combines the notions of ‘from that time’ and ‘in consequence of that;’ Upon this: we are to understand a continual drifting away. The phrase occurs in N.T. here and Joh 19:12 only.
ἀπῆλθον εἰς τὰ ὀπίσω. Not only deserted Him, but went back to their old life. This is the κρίσις, the separation of bad from good, which Christ’s coming necessarily involved; Joh 3:18-19.
οὐκέτι. No longer. ‘No more’ may mean ‘never again,’ which οὐκέτι does not mean; some may have returned again. Περιεπάτουν graphically expresses Christ’s wandering life; comp. Joh 7:1, Joh 11:54, Luk 8:1; Luk 9:58.
