{Rejecteth} (athet(936e)). Present active participle of
athete(935c), late _Koin(825f) verb (from athetos, a privative, and
ith(886d)i), to render null and void, only here in John, but see
Mr 6:26 7:9 . {One that judgeth him} ( on krinonta auton).
Articular present active participle of krin(935c). See same idea in
5:45 9:50 . {The same} (ekeinos). "That" very word of Christ
which one rejects will confront him and accuse him to the Father
"at the last day" (en t(8869) eschat(8869) h(886d)erai, this phrase
peculiar to John). There is no escaping it. And yet Jesus himself
will bear witness for or against the one whose conduct has
already revealed his attitude towards the message of God ( Mt
10:32 Lu 12:8f. ).
