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 Trapp Complete Commentary - John 1:16

16 And of his fulness have all we received, and grace for grace. Ver. 16. Of his fulness ] Which is both repletive and diffusive; not only of plenty, but of bounty; not a fulness of abundance only, but of redundance too. In Christians is plenitudo vasis; abundance of vessels, but in Christ, fontis: is the fount, these differ (say the schoolmen) ut ignis, et ignita, as fire and that which holds the fire.

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - John 1:16

16. Of his fulness Namely, of grace and truth, as mentioned in John 1:14. All we received This all embraces all men; being spoken in our character as men. Grace for grace Grace additionally bestowed for grace improved.
