ISB ~ John 8 v56

to see my day:Probably a reference to the events in Gen 22:1-18.

• (1) When Abraham nearly sacrifices Isaac as a holocaust, only to receive him back alive, the patriarch witnessed a preview of the Father surrendering his Son to death and receiving him back in the Resurrection (Heb 11:1719). (2) In response to this act of faith, Yahweh rewarded Abraham with a sworn covenant promise that one of his descendants would arise to bless all nations (Gen 22:16-18). This oath is fulfilled in the dying and rising of Jesus, who offers blessings to every nation (Mt 28:18-20; Gal 3:14; CCC 706).
