Verse 26. Hath he given to the Son to have life, &c.] Here our Lord speaks of himself in his character of Messiah, or envoy of God.

Verse 27. Because he is the Son of man.] Because he is the Messiah; for in this sense the phrase, Son of man, is often to be understood. But some join this to the next verse thus:-Marvel not at this, because he is the Son of man.
