João 7:29

29 Mas eu o conheço, porque dele venho, e ele me enviou.

João 7:29 Meaning and Commentary

John 7:29

But I know him
His nature and perfections, his purposes and promises, his council and covenant, his mind and will; and indeed none knows him but he, and those to whom he pleases to reveal him; and there is good reason why he should have intimate and perfect knowledge of him:

for I am from him;
being the only begotten of him, and as such lay in his bosom, and knew him, and his whole heart, and was privy to all of him, and that that is within him;

and he hath sent me;
in an office capacity to redeem his people. This is the original descent of Christ, which the Jews knew not, though they pretended to know him, and whence he was.

João 7:29 In-Context

27 Entretanto sabemos donde este é; mas, quando vier o Cristo, ninguém saberá donde ele é.

28 Jesus, pois, levantou a voz no templo e ensinava, dizendo: Sim, vós me conheceis, e sabeis donde sou; contudo eu não vim de mim mesmo, mas aquele que me enviou é verdadeiro, o qual vós não conheceis.

29 Mas eu o conheço, porque dele venho, e ele me enviou.

30 Procuravam, pois, prendê-lo; mas ninguém lhe deitou as mãos, porque ainda não era chegada a sua hora.

31 Contudo muitos da multidão creram nele, e diziam: Será que o Cristo, quando vier, fará mais sinais do que este tem feito?
