Commentary
Commentary on John 14:7
Theological / DevotionalIf ye had known me. Compare ch. 8:19. The construction in the Greek shows the condition here expressed to be contrary to fact. The disciples had not known Him. If they had, they would have known Him whom Christ came to reveal (see on ch. 1:18).
From henceforth. Or, “from now.” The death of Christ would be an important step in the revelation of the Father. The subsequent revelations of the Spirit would further unveil the divine character (chs. 14:26; 15:26; 16:13, 14). Of Christians near the close of the 1st century John wrote, “Ye have known the Father” (1 John 2:13).
