ζήσει for ζήσεται. The future of ζάω occurs 20 times in N.T. In 6 quotations from LXX. ζήσομαι is used: 4 times in S. John (John 5:25; John 6:57-58; John 14:19) ζήσω is used; so also probably in John 6:51. ζήσεται occurs John 11:25.

57. Not a mere repetition, but an enlargement. In S. John there are no mere repetitions; the thought is always recut or reset, and frequently with additions. The result of this close union is perfect life, proceeding as from the Father to the Son, so from the Son to all believers. For καθὼς … καὶ … comp. John 13:15; 1 John 2:6; 1 John 4:17.

ὁ ζῶν πατήρ. The absolutely Living One, the Fount of all life. The expression occurs here only. Comp. Matthew 16:16; 2 Corinthians 6:16; Hebrews 7:25.

διὰ τὸν π.… δι' ἐμέ. Because of the Father, because the Father is the Living One (John 5:26); because of Me, because he thus derives life from Me. ‘By the Father … by Me’ would require the genitive.

ὁ τρ. με. Instead of the Flesh and Blood we have Christ Himself: the two modes of partaking are merged in one, the more appropriate of the two being retained.

κἀκεῖνος. He also. The retrospective pronoun repeats and emphasizes the subject: John 14:12 (where again it immediately follows the subject), John 1:18; John 1:33; John 5:11; John 5:39; John 9:37; John 10:1; John 12:48; John 14:21; John 14:26; John 15:26.
