Had given [δ ε δ ω κ ε ν]. The best texts read edwken, gave, the aorist marking Jesus ' commission as given once for all.

Was come [ε ξ η λ θ ε]. This rendering would require the perfect tense. The aorist points to His coming as a historic fact, not as related to its result. See on 12 47. Rev., rightly, came forth.

Went [υ π α γ ε ι]. Present tense : goeth; withdrawing from the scenes of earth. Note the original order : that it was from God He came forth, and unto God He is going.
