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

John 1:40-41One of the two which heard John speakAndrewI.THE EARNEST SEEKER AFTER SALVATION. 1. His mind had been prepared (1) By the preaching of the Baptist (2) By independent reflection and Bible study. 2. He came to Jesus with an openheartedness worthy of imitation. He had his own notions, doubtless, about the grandeur of Israel’s Messiah; but was not offended when the solitary, unattended man was pointed out to him. Some, in the hasty revulsion of feeling, would have turned away in... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - John 1:41

41 He first findeth his own brother Simon, and saith unto him, We have found the Messias, which is, being interpreted, the Christ. Ver. 41. He first findeth ] Yet afterwards Peter outstripped Andrew in faith and forwardness for Christ; as likewise Luther did Staupicius, &c. So the first become last, and the last first. But charity is no churl; Andrew calleth Simon, and Philip, Nathanael, &c.; as a loadstone draws to itself one iron ring, and that another, and a third, so, &c. We... read more

42 And he brought him to Jesus. And when Jesus beheld him, he said, Thou art Simon the son of Jona: thou shalt be called Cephas, which is by interpretation, A stone. Ver. 42. Cephas, which is by interpretation a stone ] Not a head, as some Popish buzzards would needs have it (not knowing a difference between Cephas and κεφαλη ), and all to prove Peter head of the Church.
