Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - John 3:22-36

After these things came Jesus and his disciples into the land of Judea; and there he tarried with them, and baptized. (23) And John also was baptizing in Enon, near to Salem; because there was much water there: and they came, and were baptized. (24) For John was not yet cast into prison. (25) Then there arose a question between some of John's disciples and the Jews, about purifying. (26) And they came unto John, and said unto him, Rabbi, he that was with thee beyond Jordan, to whom thou bearest... read more

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - John 3:31

He that cometh from above, meaning Christ. He that is of the earth, meaning himself, is from the earth, [2] is earthly, is but a frail and infirm man; and so speaketh as from the earth: this seems rather the sense, than that he speaketh of, or concerning the earth. See the Greek text.

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - John 3:22-36

22-36 John was fully satisfied with the place and work assigned him; but Jesus came on a more important work. He also knew that Jesus would increase in honour and influence, for of his government and peace there would be no end, while he himself would be less followed. John knew that Jesus came from heaven as the Son of God, while he was a sinful, mortal man, who could only speak about the more plain subjects of religion. The words of Jesus were the words of God; he had the Spirit, not by... read more

F. B. Hole's Old and New Testament Commentary - John 3:1-99

John 3 THIS CHAPTER REALLY begins with a word, which may be translated, But, though it is omitted in the Authorised Version. Nicodemus was amongst those impressed with the miracles, but in his case something further existed. The signs he had witnessed had led him in his thoughts to God, and after God he sought. The orthodox way of seeking God was to go to the Temple, and that Nicodemus would have done by day. He chose the unorthodox way of seeking an interview with this “Teacher come from... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - John 3:30-36

The value of Christ's testimony: v. 30. He must increase, but I must decrease. v. 31. He that cometh from above is above all; he that is of the earth is earthly, and speaketh of the earth; He that cometh from heaven is above all. v. 32. And what He hath seen and heard, that He testifieth; and no man receiveth His testimony. v. 33. He that hath received His testimony hath set to his seal that God is true. v. 34. For He whom God hath sent speaketh the words of God; for God giveth not... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - John 3:31-36

a Witness to Be Trusted John 3:31-36 Let us all seek to live more habitually in heaven, that is, in contact with the spiritual world. To do our best work in the world it is not necessary to be great in argument or rhetoric, but simply to bear witness of what we have seen and heard. It is true that the natural man will not receive our testimony. Paul found that out in after years, 1 Corinthians 2:14 . But where our witness is accepted by the spiritually-minded, another seal is placed upon it... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - John 3:1-36

Nicodemus would seem to have been one of the finest products of Judaism. He was thoroughly sincere. Moreover, he was determined to investigate for himself, and so came to Jesus by night, not because he was cowardly, but because he sought a lonely and personal interview. This was the man to whom our Lord revealed the necessity for the new birth. When the statement created difficulty in the mind of Nicodemus, our Lord revealed to him the fact and necessity for the Cross. Whether Nicodemus... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - John 3:22-36

John the Baptiser Decreases (John 3:22-36 ). At this stage Jesus began His ministry alongside that of John the Baptist in a supporting role. It was not His intention at this stage to supersede him. Indeed, when He learned that His success was diminishing John He retired to Galilee. Meanwhile on being approached by the Pharisees John pointed to Jesus as a greater than himself. The two worked together in perfect harmony. read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - John 3:31-34

‘He who comes from above is above all. He that is of the earth is of the earth, and of the earth he speaks. He who comes from Heaven is above all. What he has seen and heard, of that he bears witness, and no man receives his witness. He that has received his witness has set his seal to this, that God is true. For he whom God has sent speaks the words of God, for he gives not the Spirit by measure.’ It is sometimes difficult in this Gospel to know when the speaker’s words cease and the comments... read more
