Is with me. In working miracles, &c.
Hath not left me alone. Though men had forsaken and rejected him, yet God attended him.
Those things that please him. See Mt 3:17: "This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased," Phil 2:8 Isa 53:10ff 2 Pet 1:17 Lk 3:22 Mt 17:5.
His undertaking the work of redemption was pleasing to God, and he had the consciousness that in executing it he did those things which God approved. It is a small matter to have men opposed to us, if we have a conscience void of offence, and evidence that we please God. Comp. Heb 11:5 "Enoch -- before his translation had this testimony that he pleased God." See also 1Cor 4:3.
