rwp @John:6:61 @{Knowing in himself } (\eid “s en heaut “i \). Second perfect active participle of \oida \. See strkjv @2:25 | for this supernatural insight into men 's minds . {Murmured } (\gogguzousin \). Present active indicative retained in indirect discourse . See 41 | for \gogguz “\. {At this } (\peri toutou \). "Concerning this word ." {Cause to stumble } (\skandalizei \). Common Synoptic verb from \skandalon \ for which see strkjv @Matthew:5:29 |. In John again only in strkjv @16:1 |. rwp @John:6:62 @{What then if ye should behold } (\ean oun the “r ˆte \). No "what " in the Greek . Condition of third class with \ean \ and present active subjunctive , "if ye then behold ." {Ascending } (\anabainonta \). Present active participle picturing the process . {Where he was before } (\hopou ˆn to proteron \). Neuter articular adjective as adverb (accusative of general reference , at the former time as in strkjv @9:8 ; strkjv @Galatians:3:13 |). Clear statement of Christ 's pre-existence in his own words as in strkjv @3:13 ; strkjv @17:5 | (cf . strkjv @1:1-18 |). rwp @John:6:63 @{That quickeneth } (\to z “opoioun \). Articular present active participle of \z “opoie “\ for which see strkjv @5:21 |. For the contrast between \pneuma \ (spirit ) and \sarx \ (flesh ) see already strkjv @3:6 |. {The words } (\ta r ˆmata \). Those in this discourse (I have just spoken , \lelal ˆka \), for they are the words of God (3:34 ; strkjv @8:47 ; strkjv @17:8 |). No wonder they "are spirit and are life " (\pneuma estin kai z “ˆ estin \). The breath of God and the life of God is in these words of Jesus . Never man spoke like Jesus (7:46 |). There is life in his words today .
