Commentary on John 7:28
Then cried Jesus in the temple as he taught, saying, Ye both know me, and ye know whence I am: and I am not come of myself, but he that sent me is true, whom ye know not. Jesus responds to their objection loudly ('cried'—ekraxen). He acknowledges they know His earthly origin but insists they miss the crucial truth: He doesn't come 'of myself' (ap' emautou) but is sent by the Father who is 'true' (alēthinos). The final phrase 'whom ye know not' (hon humeis ouk oidate) is damning—they claim to know God but don't recognize His sent one.
