45 The one who looks at me is seeing the one who sent me.
45 And he that seeth me seeth him that sent me.
45 And whoever sees me sees him who sent me.
45 Whoever looks at me is looking, in fact, at the One who sent me.
45 And he who sees Me sees Him who sent Me.
45 For when you see me, you are seeing the one who sent me.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on John 12:45
Commentary on John 12:44-50
(Read John 12:44-50)
Our Lord publicly proclaimed, that every one who believed on him, as his true disciple, did not believe on him only, but on the Father who sent him. Beholding in Jesus the glory of the Father, we learn to obey, love, and trust in him. By daily looking to Him, who came a Light into the world, we are more and more freed from the darkness of ignorance, error, sin, and misery; we learn that the command of God our Saviour is everlasting life. But the same word will seal the condemnation of all who despise it, or neglect it.
