Commentary

Commentary on John 12:36

Theological / Devotional

Children of light. See on Luke 16:8. The believer becomes like Him in whom he believes. Those who receive Jesus, the Light, themselves become centers from which light radiates to others (see on Matt. 5:14-16).

Did hide himself. Compare ch. 8:59. This was Jesus’ last day at the Temple. It was, as well, His last day of public ministry. After one final appeal to the leaders of Israel Jesus left the Temple forever. See on Matt. 23:38.
