John 17:6-8 I have manifested your name to the men which you gave me out of the world: your they were, and you gave them me… 1. By what He was. He was the representative of God upon the earth. 2. The Lord Jesus manifested the Father's "name" by what He spake. In His teaching He set forth the Father in His nature and character. 3. By what He did, the Lord Jesus manifested His Father's "name." As His words were not His own but His Father's, so His works were the Father's also. (T. Alexander, M. A.) Parallel Verses KJV: I have manifested thy name unto the men which thou gavest me out of the world: thine they were, and thou gavest them me; and they have kept thy word. |
