约翰福音 1:47 RCUVSS

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - John 1:43-51

the Doubter Becomes a Disciple John 1:43-51 The Apostles were attracted to the Master in different ways. Some came to Him through preaching, as when John proclaimed His rank and sacrifice. Others were brought through human relationships. The record does not say how many Andrew brought to Jesus, but we are told that he at least brought his own brother. Others were brought by the Master’s direct personal influence- he findeth Philip. Still others were brought by the call and ties of... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - John 1:1-51

The Gospel of John brings us into the profoundest facts concerning the Person of Jesus. The first eighteen verses constitute the introduction to the whole Book. The main declaration is found by bringing together verses John 1:1; John 1:14; John 1:18. In these the Eternal is linked to the temporal, and the temporal is revealed as the interpretation of the Eternal. The rest of the prologue consists of three parentheses. 1. Verses John 1:2-13, in which the glories of the Word are revealed in... read more

Wells of Living Water Commentary - John 1:36-51

Following Christ John 1:36-51 INTRODUCTORY WORDS We delight in the study of John the Baptist. Christ said that he was the greatest man born of woman, yet he was not self-centered or proud. Had he been so, he had not been great. 1. John was a man who magnified Christ, and not himself. To the populace, as he preached, he never made any statements that would call attention to himself. His one passion seemed to center in magnifying the Lord. He plainly and positively told forth that he was not... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - John 1:19-51

John the Baptiser’s Testimony to Jesus and the Calling of Disciples (John 1:19-51 ). The portrayal of John the Baptiser by the writer is in interesting contrast to the John the Baptiser portrayed in the other Gospels. But an examination of the text soon brings out that this difference is mainly one of emphasis. It is soon apparent that, unlike the other writers this author is not concerned to describe the ministry of John per se, but rather to place all the emphasis on John as a witness to... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - John 1:35-51

Disciples Begin to Gather to Jesus (John 1:35-51 ). The great teachers of Israel would often have bands of ‘disciples’ who gathered round them to learn from them, and then to pass on their teaching. Here we learn that Jesus also began to attract disciples. This passage is a deliberate way of stressing that here is a greater than John, for some of John’s disciples leave him in order to follow Jesus, (and that is how John wanted it). It is interesting in that the passage indicates almost... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - John 1:47

‘Jesus saw Nathaniel coming to him and says to him, “Look, an Israelite indeed in whom is no guile”.’ When Jesus sees Nathaniel He declares, ‘See, a true Israelite who is without guile’. The idea is taken from Psalms 32:2 - ‘blessed is the man --- in whose spirit there is no guile’ - the epitome of the true Israelite. This impresses Nathaniel, who was clearly a very pious man, and he is curious to know how Jesus knows this about him. read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - John 1:35-51

John 1:35-Colossians : . The Baptist’ s Disciples and Jesus.— On the morrow to two of his disciples John bears similar witness. The account in its details suggests the recollections of one to whom the incident bad been the turning-point of his life. The tenth hour, four o’ clock, if true or traditional, may have suggested to the writer “ the beginning of a new era.” He could hardly have invented it for that purpose. The unnamed disciple ( cf. John 1:40) is generally identified with John the... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - John 1:47

They are not all Israel, which are of Israel, Romans 9:6. For he is not a Jew, which is one outwardly; neither is that circumcision, which is outward in the flesh: but he is a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, Romans 2:28,Romans 2:29. Christ seeing Nathanael (though he was prejudiced by Philip’s mistake, or the common mistake of his nation) coming to see him, and seeing not only his body and bodily motion, but his heart also, and the motions of... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - John 1:45-51

EXPLANATORY AND CRITICAL NOTESJohn 1:45-51. Nathanael = Theodorus. The gift of God (נְתַנְאֵל). Probably this is the disciple mentioned afterward as Bartholomew (Matthew 10:3). How quickly did those early followers of Jesus discover the marks of true discipleship! Philip was no sooner convinced than he sought Nathanael. Jesus from Nazareth.—It is not implied that the Evangelist was ignorant of the fact that Jesus was born in Bethlehem: he is only reporting Philip’s words.John 1:46. Nazareth was... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - John 1:45-49

John 1:45-49 The First Disciples Nathanael. I. Look first at the preparation a soul brought to Christ by a brother. "Philip findeth Nathanael." Nathanael's prejudice was but the giving voice to a fault that is as wide as humanity, and which we have every day of our lives to fight with, not only in regard of religious matters, but in regard of all others namely, the habit of estimating people, and their work, and their wisdom, and their power, by the class to which they are supposed to belong.... read more
