Will ye also go away?
"Then
said Jesus unto the twelve, Will ye also go away?" John 6:67
These words are very emphatical.
Will YOU abandon me?
—YOU, whom I have distinguished with
innumerable marks of my affection
—YOU, whom I have chosen out of the world to
be my companions,
—YOU, to whom I have revealed the secrets of
the eternal world
—YOU, who have been witnesses of all my
miracles
—YOU, whom I intend to seat with me on my
throne in glory; will YOU go away?
Reader, in what state art THOU?
Hast THOU gone back from Christ, or art THOU
going back?
Wilt THOU go?
—THOU, whom he has redeemed by his blood
—THOU, whom he has upheld by his power, and
fed by his providence
—THOU, into whose wounded soul he has poured
the balm of pardoning mercy
—THOU, whom he has adopted into the heavenly
family
—THOU, whom he has comforted in so many
tribulations and adversities
—THOU, whose multiplied offences he has freely
and fully pardoned; wilt THOU go away?
- Adam Clarke, Commentary on Gospel of John
