Johannes 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.

Johannes 7:29 In-Context

27 Diesen aber kennen wir, woher er ist; wenn aber der Christus kommt, so weiß niemand, woher er ist.
28 Jesus nun rief im Tempel, lehrte und sprach: Ihr kennet mich und wisset auch, woher ich bin; und ich bin nicht von mir selbst gekommen, sondern der mich gesandt hat, ist wahrhaftig, welchen ihr nicht kennet.
29 Ich kenne ihn, weil ich von ihm bin, und er mich gesandt hat.
30 Da suchten sie ihn zu greifen; und niemand legte die Hand an ihn, weil seine Stunde noch nicht gekommen war.
31 Viele aber von der Volksmenge glaubten an ihn und sprachen: Wenn der Christus kommt, wird er wohl mehr Zeichen tun als die, welche dieser getan hat?
