rwp@John:12:49 @{He hath given} (\dedken\). Perfect active indicative. Christ has permanent commission. {What I should say and what I should speak} (\ti eip kai ti lals\). Indirect question retaining the deliberative subjunctive (second aorist active \eip\, first aorist active \lals\). Meyer and Westcott take \eip\ to refer to the content and \lals\ more to the varying manner of delivery. Possibly so.
rwp@John:12:50 @{Life eternal} (\z ainios\). See 3:15; kjv@Matthew:25:46| for this great phrase. In 6:68| Peter says to Jesus, "Thou hast the words of eternal life." Jesus had just said (6:63|) that his words were spirit and life. The secret lies in the source, "as the Father hath said to me" (\eirken\).
