38: οτι καταβεβηκα εκ του ουρανου ουχ ινα ποιω το θελημα το εμον αλλα το θελημα του πεμψαντος με— edit Textus Receptus
38: For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me.- edit KJV text
38: Because I came down from heaven, not to do my own will but the will of him that sent me.— edit Douay text


For I came down, &c. This verse shows that he came for a specific purpose, which he states in the next verse, and means that, as he came to do his Father's will, he would be faithful to the trust. Though his hearers should reject him, yet the will of God would be accomplished in the salvation of some who should come to him.

Mine own will. See Barnes "Jn 5:30".
