EYE-WITNESS ACCOUNT

He who saw this has testified so that you also may believe. His testimony is true, and he knows that  tells the truth  (John 19:35, NRSV).

“I SAW THESE THINGS”

John makes a parenthetical remark
        to show that he’s not writing in the dark.
It is a most impressive point to me
        that he was there that day on Calvary
and saw with his own eyes all that took place.
        It’s as a witness that he makes his case:
“I saw these things and I can say to you
        that everything I’ve testified is true!”
