John 1:29

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - John 1:27-34

John 1:27-Nahum : . The Baptists Witness to Himself.— The baptism of Jesus has apparently taken place. John points to Him as the greater one of whom he had spoken. His own work of baptism, which has not been described but is assumed to be known, is, he says, preparatory to the manifestation of Messiah to Israel. Like others John had been ignorant, till the sign of the Spirit descending and abiding on Jesus had revealed to him the true Baptizer, who should give men the true baptism of the... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - John 1:29

The next day; the most think, the day following that day when the messengers from Jerusalem had been examining the Baptist. Heinsius thinks it was the same day, and saith, the Hellenists usually so interpret εν επαυπιον, for μετα ταυτα, after these things; but the former sense is more generally embraced. John seeth Jesus coming to him, out of the wilderness, as some think, where he had been tempted by the devil; but then it must follow, that he was not amongst the crowd, John 1:2, standing in... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - John 1:19-39

John 1:19-39 The Ministry of John the Baptist. From the ministry of John the Baptist we may learn I. That when Jesus is about to visit a community in His saving power, His coming is generally preceded by loud calls to repentance. It was the special mission of the Baptist to unfold the majesty of the Divine law, and to call men up to its unerring standard. In some form or other John the Baptist comes always to fore-herald Christ. II. That when Jesus comes to a place in saving power, His presence... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - John 1:29

John 1:29 (with John 20:31 ) What is the most characteristic account of Christianity, by which its supporters may demand that its pretensions shall be tried? The Evangelist supplies us with a sufficient answer in the passages which I have joined together as the text. It is a system which aims at the remission of sins, through the means of faith in Jesus Christ, the Son of God, as a preparation for the life of eternity. It is a method designed by the Divine wisdom, and carried out through a... read more

DISCOURSE: 1601CHRIST THE LAMB OF GODJohn 1:29. Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.IN the general estimation of the world, they are reputed great who bear sway over their fellow-creatures, and are surrounded with pomp and splendour. But, with God, men are accounted great according as they possess a knowledge of his ways, and advance the ends of his government. Hence we are told by our Lord himself that John the Baptist, a plain rustic man, clothed with coarse raiment... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - John 1:1-51

Shall we turn in our Bibles to the gospel according to John.The gospel of John was the last of the gospels that were written. It was written towards the close of that first century, written by John, for the purpose of convincing people that Jesus is the Christ, that by believing in Him they might have life in His name. John declares his purpose in writing these books. He said, "Many other things did Jesus which are not written, but these things were written that you might believe that Jesus is... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - John 1:1-51

John 1:1 . In the beginning was the Word. Εν αρχη ο λογος . John begins the new creation with the words of Moses of the old creation, and continues to speak of Christ in the running language of all the ancient rabbinical theology, that the Word was before Creation was. And the Word was with God. Και ο λογος ην προς τον Θεον . Here the hypostasis, the word used by St. Paul in Hebrews 1:3, or person of Christ is designated. The Father was always a Father, and never without the Son.... read more
