Second, Jesus not only thought of himself as God's Son, but also spoke of himself as sent by God. Once again, John develops the theme of the Son's mission, which is already present in sayings that at least partly go back to Jesus (Mark 9:37; [ 92 ] Matthew 15:24; [ 93 ] Luke 10:16), [ 94 ] especially in 12:6 , where it is a question of the ...
