L. M. Grant's Commentary on the Bible - John 1:1-51

CHRIST THE LIVING WORD (vs.1-5) Revelation 19:13, speaking of the Lord Jesus, says, "His name is called the Word of God." As such He had no beginning: in the beginning He was there. In person He is eternal. Yet also, He was with God, which shows Him to be a distinct person. Yet more than this, "the Word was God:" He is a divine person. Then verse 2 is added to guard the fact that He was (and is) eternally distinct. In the eternal past, as in the eternal future, God is a blessed Trinity,... read more

James Gray

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - John 1:1-51

DEITY OF JESUS CHRIST This portion of the Gospel is chosen as a lesson because it gives an opportunity at one view to consider the Deity of Jesus Christ as declared in the preface (John 1:1-14 ) as witnessed to by the testimony of the Baptist (John 1:15-34 ), and demonstrated in the first visit to Judea after the baptism (John 1:35 to John 2:12 ). PREFACE (John 1:1-14 ) Observe the earliest illustration of John’s presentation of Jesus as the Son of God. Nothing corresponding is found in the... read more

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - John 1:1-51

The Private Ministry of the Gospel Joh 1:45 Do you know how difficult it is to preach to one hearer? Some young people, who have a wish to be public speakers, wonder how a man can stand before a thousand of his fellow-creatures and speak to them boldly, with perfect self-possession and confidence. Believe me, there is a higher courage than that; namely, to speak to one man about Jesus, to direct your remarks to one heart, and to press your urgent appeal upon the individual conscience. Philip... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - John 1:43-51

The day following, Jesus would go forth into Galilee, and findeth Philip, and saith unto him, Follow me, (44) Now Philip was of Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and Peter. (45) Philip findeth Nathanael, and saith unto him, We have found him of whom Moses in the Jaw and the prophets did write, Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph. (46) And Nathanael said unto him, Can there any good thing come out of Nazareth! Philip saith unto him, Come and see. (47) Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him, and saith of... read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - John 1:43-51

43-51 See the nature of true Christianity, it is following Jesus; devoting ourselves to him, and treading in his steps. Observe the objection Nathanael made. All who desire to profit by the word of God, must beware of prejudices against places, or denominations of men. They should examine for themselves, and they will sometimes find good where they looked for none. Many people are kept from the ways of religion by the unreasonable prejudices they conceive. The best way to remove false notions... read more

Frank Binford Hole

F. B. Hole's Old and New Testament Commentary - John 1:1-99

John 1 THE GOSPEL OF JOHN was evidently written some time after the other three Gospels. Matthew, Mark and Luke had each told, in their divinely appointed way, the story of the birth, early years and entrance into ministry of Jesus Christ, and John takes their record for granted, since without it his opening paragraphs would be hardly intelligible. As the first century drew to its close, sufficient time had elapsed for the launching of attacks on the Person of Christ, as being the very citadel... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - John 1:47-51

The winning of Nathanael: v. 47. Jesus saw Nathanael coming to Him, and saith of him, Behold an Israelite indeed in whom is no guile! v. 48. Nathanael saith unto Him. Whence knowest Thou me? Jesus answered and said unto him, Before that Philip called thee, when thou wast under the fig-tree, I saw thee. v. 49. Nathanael answered and saith unto Him, Rabbi, Thou art the Son of God; Thou art the King of Israel. v. 50. Jesus answered and said unto him, Because I said unto thee, I saw thee... read more

Alexander MacLaren's Expositions of Holy Scripture - John 1:45-49

John THE FIRST DISCIPLES: IV. NATHANAEL Joh_1:45 - Joh_1:49 . The words are often the least part of a conversation. The Evangelist can tell us what Nathanael said to Jesus, and what Jesus said to Nathanael, but no Evangelist can reproduce the look, the tone, the magnetic influence which streamed out from Christ, and, we may believe, more than anything He said, riveted these men to Him. It looks as if Nathanael and his companions were very easily convinced, as if their adhesion to such... read more
