John 1:29 NIV

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - John 1:29-36

We have in these verses an account of John's testimony concerning Jesus Christ, which he witnessed to his own disciples that followed him. As soon as ever Christ was baptized he was immediately hurried into the wilderness, to be tempted; and there he was forty days. During his absence John had continued to bear testimony to him, and to tell the people of him; but now at last he sees Jesus coming to him, returning from the wilderness of temptation. As soon as that conflict was over Christ... read more

William Barclay's Daily Study Bible - John 1:29-31

1:29-31 On the next day, John saw Jesus as he was coming towards him, and said: "See! The Lamb of God who is taking away the sin of the world! This is he of whom I said to you: 'There is a man who is coming after me, who has been advanced before me, because he was before me.' Even I did not know him. All the same, the reason that I came baptizing with water is that he might be shown forth to Israel." Here we come to the second day of this momentous week in the life of Jesus. By this time... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - John 1:29

The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him ,.... Not to be baptized, for he had been baptized before by him. This seems to have been after Christ had been forty days in the wilderness, from whence he now returned, and came to attend on John's ministry; both to do honour to him, and that he might be made manifest by him; and this was the day after John had bore such a testimony concerning him, to the priests and Levites; and which Christ the omniscient God, knew full well, and therefore... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - John 1:29

The next day - The day after that on which the Jews had been with John, John 1:19 . Behold the Lamb of God, etc. - This was said in allusion to what was spoken Isaiah 53:7 . Jesus was the true Lamb or Sacrifice required and appointed by God, of which those offered daily in the tabernacle and temple, Exodus 29:38 , Exodus 29:39 , and especially the paschal lamb, were only the types and representatives. See Exodus 12:4 , Exodus 12:5 ; 1 Corinthians 5:7 . The continual morning... read more

John Calvin

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - John 1:29

Verse 29 29.The next day. There can be no doubt that John had already spoken about the manifestation of the Messiah; but when Christ began to appear, he wished that his announcement of him should quickly become known, and the time was now at hand when Christ would put an end to John’s ministry, as, when the sun is risen, the dawn suddenly disappears. After having testified to the priests who were sent to him, that he from whom they ought to seek the truth and power of baptism was already... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - John 1:1-51

The phrase, "according to," has been thought by some to suggest a type of doctrine or teaching with which the document might be supposed to harmonize, and therefore to set aside the idea of personal authenticity by its very form. This interpretation, seeing it applies to Mark and Luke as well as to John and Matthew, would lose its meaning; for Mark and Luke, by numerous traditionary notices, have been continuously credited, not with having personally set any special type of doctrine before... read more

On the following day. Next after the day on which the Sanhedrin had heard from John the vindication of his own right to baptize in virtue of the commencement of the Messiah's ministry, which as yet was concealed from all eyes but his own. He [ John £ ] seeth Jesus coming towards him, within reach of observation the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world. We should observe, from the later context, that already John had perceived by special signs and Divine inspiration... read more

Third testimony borne by the Baptist to Jesus. This incident, which occurred on the following day, must have been immediately after the temptation. The Baptist identifies Christ by implication, not by name. I. THE REDEEMER IS IDENTIFIED BY HIS WORK . "Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world!" This title is taken from Isaiah 53:1-12 , which the Jewish commentators themselves originally applied to the Messiah. The passage sets forth: 1 . The... read more

The next day - The day after the Jews made inquiry whether he was the Christ.Behold the Lamb of God - A “lamb,” among the Jews, was killed and eaten at the Passover to commemorate their deliverance from Egypt, Exodus 12:3-11. A lamb was offered in the tabernacle, and afterward in the temple, every morning and evening, as a part of the daily worship, Exodus 29:38-39. The Messiah was predicted as a lamb led to the slaughter, to show his patience in his sufferings, and readiness to die for man,... read more
