_ _ from — Greek, “out of the power,” out of the sphere in which his power is exercised.
_ _ darkness — blindness, hatred, misery [Bengel].

But the term “kingdom” is rarely applied to his usurped rule (Matthew 12:26); it is generally restricted to the kingdom of God.
_ _ his dear Son — rather as Greek, “the Son of His love”: the Son on whom His love rests (John 17:26; Ephesians 1:6): contrasted with the “darkness” where all is hatred and hateful. |
