John 1:48
_ _ Whence knowest thou me — conscious that his very heart had been read, and at this critical moment more than ever before.
_ _ Before Philip called thee — showing He knew all that passed between Philip and him at a distance.
_ _ when ... under the fig tree, etc. — where retirement for meditation and prayer was not uncommon [Lightfoot]. Thither, probably — hearing that his master’s Master had at length appeared, and heaving with mingled eagerness to behold Him and dread of deception — he had retired to pour out his guileless heart for light and guidance, ending with such a prayer as this, “Show me a token for good!” (See on Luke 2:8). Now he has it, “Thou guileless one, that fig tree scene, with all its heaving anxieties, deep pleadings and tremulous hopes — I saw it all.” The first words of Jesus had astonished, but this quite overpowered and won him. |
John 1:48
Under the fig tree I saw thee — Perhaps at prayer. |
