john 1:18 No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him.

john 1:18 No man has seen God at any time; the only begotten God, who is in the bosom of the Father, He has explained [Him].

18. No man--"No one," in the widest sense.
hath seen God--by immediate gaze, or direct intuition.
in the bosom of the Father--A remarkable expression, used only here, presupposing the Son's conscious existence distinct from the Father, and expressing His immediate and most endeared access to, and absolute acquaintance with, Him.
he--emphatic; As if he should say, "He and He only hath declared Him," because He only can.

john 1:18 No man has seen God at any time; the only begotten God, who is in the bosom of the Father, He has explained [Him].
