EXPLANATION

Verse 26–27. In that day … I say not to you that I will ask the Father for you, or shall need to ask the Father for you, though I am your Redeemer, you chief Advocate and Mediator, by dying for all the world.—For the Father himself loveth you, because you have loved me, and have believed that I came forth from God, sent to be your Redeemer.—I came forth from the Father, both as begotten of him from all eternity; and I also came into the world, as sent from him to become man, to become the Redeemer of the world, both as God and man. Now I am going, as man, to leave the world, and go to the Father, with whom I am, and have always been, as God. Witham.
