THE JUDGMENT OF CHRIST
The Evangelist has just summed up the results of Christ’s ministry (37–43). He now corroborates that estimate by quoting Christ Himself. But as John 12:36 seems to give us the close of the ministry, we are probably to understand that what follows was uttered on some occasion or occasions previous to John 12:36. Perhaps it is given us as an epitome of what Christ often taught.
