约翰福音 3:31 RCUVSS

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - John 3:22-36

John 3:22-Zephaniah : . The Last Appearance of the Baptist.— Convinced that the nation is not ripe for Messianic teaching, Jesus falls back on preparatory work similar to that of John, who was continuing his work at Æ non near Salim. In Eusebius’ time this was identified with a place on the borders of Galilee and Samaria not far from Bethshan. Modern explorers favour a place called ‘ Aynun, north of the Salim near Nablus. The evangelist notes that John’ s imprisonment did not take place, as... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - John 3:31

He that cometh from heaven, (for it appeareth by the latter part of the verse, that is the sense of from above), as Christ did, not only in respect of his Divine nature, but being (as to his whole person) clothed with majesty and authority from above, infinitely excelleth any one who is a mere creature: he that is of an earthly original, speaketh of the earth. Such as is a man’s original, such is his nature, such is his discourse. Though I be sent of God, as John 16:27, and my baptism be from... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - John 3:23-36

EXPLANATORY AND CRITICAL NOTESJohn 3:23. Ænon near to Salim (Αἰνών, from עַין, Arab. عين, a spring).—Salim was long supposed to have been situated about eight miles from Beth-Shean, i.e. in the north of Samaria. But this would discord with John 3:22. Recent research has, however, discovered a site more in consonance with the narrative. “Dr, Barclay (City of the Great King) found both names in a place answering the description … at Wady Farah, about five miles from Jerusalem” (Watkins).John... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - John 3:1-36

Have we got a message for you tonight from the Word of God! John chapter 3 and 4, oh my, how rich! How blessed!There was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews ( John 3:1 ).We know a few things about him; we know that he must have been very wealthy, for he came with Joseph of Arimathea to embalm the body of Jesus after the crucifixion. And he brought these costly spices, about a hundred pounds, that only a very wealthy person could afford. A ruler of the Jews means that he... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - John 3:1-36

John 3:1 . Nicodemus, a ruler of the jews. This rabbi is named by John as defending our Saviour in the council, and as attending the crucifixion. A gospel of the passion and the resurrection of Christ was published under his name; and though generally reputed spurious, yet it is mentioned by Bede, and by other good authors. He is understood to have left Judea when Stephen was martyred. John 3:3 . Except a man be born again. The jews thought, that to be of Abraham’s seed and to keep the... read more
