John 12:50

And I know The Son's testimony to the Father. -The commission which He hath given Me is eternal life." (See on John 3:16.) His commission is to save the world.

as the Father said The same distinction as in the previous verse: the matter of the revelation comes from the Father, the external expression of it from the Son.

With this the first main division of the Gospel ends. Christ's revelation of Himself to the world in His ministry is concluded. The Evangelist has set before us the Testimony to the Christ, the Work of the Christ, and the Judgment respecting the work, which has ended in a conflict, and the conflict has reached a climax. We have reached the beginning of the end.
