<p>4:14 <em>And we have seen and testify that the Father has sent the Son to be the Saviour of the world</em>- This continues to comment on the result of the gift of the Spirit (:13). For it was the Comforter who would &quot;testify&quot; of the Lord, &quot;and you also shall testify&quot; (Jn. 15:26,27; 1 Jn. 5:6). The power to witness is given in the strength of the Spirit we are given; otherwise shy individuals somehow find the power to bear major witness, circumstances are arranged whereby the most reserved of us have meetings with others who are searching for the truth of Christ we have encountered and can share with them. John and his fellow apostles had testified of what they had seen, in the preaching which the Gospel of John is a transcript of (s.w. Jn. 3:11; 19:25; 21:24; Rev. 1:2). John sees himself as following the example of the Gentile Samaritan woman, who 'testified' that the Lord was the saviour of the world (Jn. 4:39,42 s.w.).</p>
