Commentary on John 12:44

Theological / Devotional

Jesus cried. The specific moment of this address, with reference to Jesus’ departure and concealment mentioned in v. 36, is uncertain. Verses 37-50 appear to be John’s comment on the rejection of the Messiah. This day’s teaching in the Temple concluded Christ’s public ministry. Henceforth His teaching was in private to His disciples.

On him that sent me. The clause “that [or, “which”] sent [or, “hath sent”] me” is frequent in John (chs. 5:24, 30, 37; 6:38, 39, 40, 44; etc.). This clause emphasizes the complete unity of the Son with the Father (see on chs. 3:17; 10:30).
