Robertson's Word Pictures (NT)
Ye have sent (umeiv apestalkate). Emphatic use of umeiv (ye) and perfect active indicative of apostellw, official and permanent fact and so the witness of the Baptist has to be recognized as trustworthy by the Sanhedrin. The reference is to the committee in John 1:19-28.
He hath borne witness (memarturhken). Perfect active indicative of marturew showing the permanent and abiding value of John's testimony to Christ as in John 1:34; John 3:26; John 5:37. So also John 19:35 of the testimony concerning Christ's death. This was the purpose of the Baptist's mission (John 1:7).
