EXPLANATION

Verse 29. In this we believe that thou camest forth from God; that is, we are more confirmed than ever, that thou art the Messias, the true Son of God. Yet Saint John Chrysostom S. Cyril, and Saint Augustine take notice, that their faith was but imperfect, till after Christ’s resurrection, and the coming of the Holy Ghost; and therefore Christ answered them, (verse 31. and so forth) Now do you believe? the hour cometh, that you shall be dispersed, and so forth Witham.
