WK Translation Notes

a
It has been suggested, in order to make it smoother English, "though the world knew thee not, yet," etc. to translate thus, "Righteous Father! and the world knew thee not! But," etc. I prefer simply to follow the words faithfully, "but I knew thee," in a sort of parenthesis, contrasted with the world, and introductory of His own, who at least knew Him as the sent One.
