{Knowing} (eid(9373)). Repeated from verse 1 , accenting the
full consciousness of Jesus. {Had given} (ed(936b)en). So Aleph B L
W, aorist active instead of ded(936b)en (perfect active) of
did(936d)i. Cf. 3:31 for a similar statement with en instead of
eis. See Mt 11:27 ( Lu 10:22 ) and 28:18 for like claim by
Jesus to complete power. {And that he came forth from God, and
goeth unto God} (kai hoti apo theou ex(886c)then kai pros ton theon
hupagei). See plain statement by Jesus on this point in 16:28 .
The use of pros ton theon recalls the same words in 1:1 .
Jesus is fully conscious of his deity and Messianic dignity when
he performs this humble act.
