• Eternal life was the knowledge of the Father, the only true God, and of Jesus Christ, whom He had sent. The knowledge of the Almighty gave assurance to the pilgrim of faith; that of Jehovah, the certainty of the fulfillment of the promises of God to Israel; that of the Father, who sent the Son, Jesus Christ (the anointed Man and the Saviour), who was that life itself, and so received as a present thing (1 John 1:1-4), was life eternal. (“John 17” by J.N. Darby)
• "Thee, the only true God, and Jesus Christ." It does not say "the Son" -for "no man knoweth the Son but the Father;" but "Jesus Christ"-The One revealed in flesh. (“Hunt’s Sayings - 73” by R. Hunt)
• The children of God now possess the revelation of the Father and of Jesus Christ whom He sent; and this knowledge is identified, not with promises nor government, but with “eternal life,” as a present thing in Christ, the portion of every believer. (“John 17” by W. Kelly)
• Only Christ could be said to be that life; we as believers are not, but we have it in Him. (“John 17” by W. Kelly)
