Commentary
Commentary on John 12:29
Theological / DevotionalIt thundered. The people heard the sound of the voice from heaven, but they could not comprehend the meaning, as was the case of those who heard the voice that spoke to Paul at the time of his conversion (see on Acts 23:9).
An angel spake. Some interpreted the sound as a divine message. This seems to imply that they understood what was being said. Judging by the reply of Jesus that the voice came “for your sakes,” it appears that the Greeks, and doubtless others, heard and comprehended the voice (see DA 625). To them it would come as confirming evidence that Jesus was indeed the Sent of God.
