{We have beheld} ( ethe(836d)etha). Perfect middle of
heaomai as in verse 12 , though the aorist in 1:1 Joh 1:14
(ethe(8373)ametha). John is qualified to bear witness
(marturoumen as in 1:2 ) as Jesus had charged the disciples to
do ( Ac 1:8 ). {Hath sent} (apestalken). As in verse 9 ,
though apesteilen in verse 10 . {To be the Saviour of the
world} (s(9374)(8872)a tou kosmou). Predicate accusative of s(9374)(8872)
(Saviour), like hilasmon in verse 10 . This very phrase occurs
elsewhere only in Joh 4:42 as the confession of the Samaritans,
but the idea is in Joh 3:17 .
