11 She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more. Though Christ was basely abused in the foregoing chapter, both by the rulers and by the people, yet here we have him still at Jerusalem, still in the temple.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

It expresses something past--"he saw My day, and was glad," that is, surely while he lived. He seems to refer to the familiar intercourse which Abraham had with God, who is once and again in the history called "the Angel of the Lord," and whom Christ here identifies with Himself.
