29 but I know him because I am from him and he sent me."
29 But I know him: for I am from him, and he hath sent me.
29 I know him, for I come from him, and he sent me."
29 I come from him - that's how I know him. He sent me here."
29 But I know Him, for I am from Him, and He sent Me."
29 But I know him because I come from him, and he sent me to you."
Matthew Henry's Commentary on John 7:29
Commentary on John 7:25-30
(Read John 7:25-30)
Christ proclaimed aloud, that they were in error in their thoughts about his origin. He was sent of God, who showed himself true to his promises. This declaration, that they knew not God, with his claim to peculiar knowledge, provoked the hearers; and they sought to take him, but God can tie men's hands, though he does not turn their hearts.
