When studying to learn meanings of verses a Strong's concordance, and a cross reference Bible are essential tools Vicky. Having access to multiple versions assists greatly as well. Surrounding verses gives the context, so in this account doing so might be confusing, and one might discern it was speaking about John. Truthfully verse 68-75 is referring to Jesus, and then back to John in v76.
As far as Jehovah visiting His people, we know from other verses that He has never came to earth to interact with humans, no one may see Him and yet live, but He does represent us through representatives, and various other means. In this verse the Strongs is invaluable in seeing what was originally written:
ejpiskevptomai Episkeptomai (ep-ee-skep'-tom-ahee);
Word Origin: Greek, Verb, Strong #: 1980
- to look upon or after, to inspect, examine with the eyes
- in order to see how he is, i.e. to visit, go to see one
- the poor and afflicted, the sick
- to look upon in order to help or to benefit
- to look after, have care for, provide for: of God
- to look (about) for, look out (one to choose, employ, etc.)
We see combined with other verses that John prepared the way, for Jesus, sent by Jehovah to finish off sin and thus death. John 3:16
No - JESUS was not sent by Jehovah. JESUS was sent by the Father for Jesus is LORD/YHWH
your post brought up a question I haven’t had before …Was Jesus Spirit sent by and of the Father? For example…you haven’t received the spirit of the world unto bondage again but the Spirit given of God in receiving Christ, Romans 8:9-10, the Son the the Spirit of Life given of God, the Spirit of power, and of love, and of a sound mind. 2 Timothy 1:7-10
BEFORE the LORD/YHWH came to earth as a man = Philippians 2:5-11 = HE was Elohim Word
No - JESUS was not sent by Jehovah. JESUS was sent by the Father for Jesus is LORD/YHWH
You never see in the Gospel, not once, Jesus praying to YHWH, for HE is YHWH.
You only see Jesus praying to His FATHER.
LORD Jesus clearly declared that HE is IAM. HE did this a number of times.
the Scripture cannot lie: "Every knee shall bow and every tongue confess to YHWH." Isaiah ch45
I’ve been studying the “made of a woman, made under the law” in Galatians 4:4
If I have understood you correctly there is a difference in “He was Elohim” and His lowering Himself “made of a woman made under the law” …but there is a question: was the woman made under the Law, what woman was made under the Law that he was made of? Does that question make sense? Who is the subject of “made of a woman made under the Law”?
Romans 8:1-13
you mentioned restoring to the glory He had prior ..would that be
Galatians 5:18-23 But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law. [19] Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these ; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, [20] Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, [21] Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God. [22] But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, [23] Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.
Is not the Father God, David? Is not God's name given in the Bible as Jehovah? I am sure you can quote Jn 3:16 which clearly said God sent His only-begotten son correct? Many people both in and out of the Bible has said I am, but what is the significance of that sir? I can truthfully say I am no more God than Jesus is, but we both serve the same God.

Who came to earth David? Not YHWH, rather He sent His son, correct?
God is not a name, only a title/description that we use in today's language to denote ELOHIM from Genesis.
There is only ONE NAME by which you can be SAVED = YESHUA HaMashiach translated as JESUS the Christ
Then Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, said to them, “Rulers and elders of the people! If we are being examined today about a kind service to a man who was lame, to determine how he was healed, then let this be known to all of you and to all the people of Israel:
It is by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified but whom God raised from the dead, that this man stands before you healed.
This Jesus is ‘the stone you builders rejected, which has become the cornerstone.’
Salvation exists in no one else, for there is no other Name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved.”
Acts ch4
Who came to earth David? Not YHWH, rather He sent His son, correct?
I’m sorry…I realize this question was to David.
Hebrews 2:11 For both he that sanctifies and they who are sanctified are all of one: for which cause he is not ashamed to call them brethren,
Curious do you believe Jehovah sanctifies the children given of God?
Or Does Jesus sanctify the children given of God?
YAHshuah literally means YHWH humbled Himself or YHWH came down.
This is the Truth that the Holy Spirit Proclaims = Genesis, Exodus, Isaiah , Gospel of John , Phil 2:5-11 , Rev ch1 & ch22
JESUS never prayed to YHWH because HE is YHWH and HE came down from His Eternal Glory with the FATHER and emptied Himself.
When on earth HE only prayed to His Elohim FATHER.
Jesus spoke these words, lifted up His eyes to heaven, and said: “Father, the hour has come. Glorify Your Son, that Your Son also may glorify You, as You have given Him authority over all flesh, that He should give eternal life to as many as You have given Him.
And this is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent.
I have glorified You on the earth. I have finished the work which You have given Me to do.
And now, O Father, glorify Me together with Yourself, with the glory which I had with You before the world was.
John 17:1-5
Interestingly you finished by posting one of Jesus' last prayers to Jehovah sir. We just disagree.
Man, you have found another gem for all to 'see' and so live! Christ is the life indeed that comes from his Father, and who is ours too.I proclaim to see the Father is to live.
It’s what Jesus always directs too, the Father. He says the day is coming when all will worship Him in spirit and truth.Man, you have found another gem for all to 'see' and so live! Christ is the life indeed that comes from his Father, and who is ours too.
