Alexander MacLaren's Expositions of Holy Scripture - John 1:37-39

John THE FIRST DISCIPLES: I. JOHN AND ANDREW Joh_1:37 - Joh_1:39 . In these verses we see the head waters of a great river, for we have before us nothing less than the beginnings of the Christian Church. So simply were the first disciples made. The great society of believers was born like its Master, unostentatiously and in a corner. Jesus has come back from His conflict in the wilderness after His baptism, and has presented Himself before John the Baptist for his final attestation. It was... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - John 1:29-34

Witness Borne to the Son of God John 1:29-34 John’s description of Christ gave answer to Isaac’s inquiry, Genesis 22:7 . Let us not narrow the extent of the gospel. By the grace of God Jesus tasted death for every man, 1 John 2:2 . Though they knew it not, the Messiah had stood on those banks, had mingled with those crowds, had descended into those waters, and was standing among them at that moment. But their eyes were blinded. The new era had already dawned. The general reader of the story... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - John 1:35-42

How Jesus Wins Followers John 1:35-42 On this third day John again looked eagerly and wistfully on Jesus as He walked. He spoke of Him again as God’s Lamb, and there was a significance in His words that was instantly detected by the two disciples-probably John and Andrew-who stood beside him. He intended to transfer their allegiance from himself to the Lord. Henceforth they were to behold Him. So, at least, they understood it. We are told that they followed Jesus. As the preacher watched... 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 1:35-42

Peter The Fisher of Men John 1:35-42 INTRODUCTORY WORDS We come to the study of one of the outstanding Apostles of the Cross. Whatever you may think of Peter, and his failures, you must grant that he was an energetic, whole-souled, and sacrificial servant of the Lord. 1. Let us observe how Peter was wooed and won for Christ. (1) The testimony of John the Baptist, and its results. John looking upon Jesus, as He walked, said, "Behold the Lamb of God." Two of John's disciples heard John as he... 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

A REPEATED EFFORT‘Again the next day after John stood, and two of his disciples; and looking upon Jesus as He walked he saith, Behold the Lamb of God! And the two disciples heard him speak, and they followed Jesus.’ John 1:35-Haggai : But yesterday the Baptist stood to bear that testimony which contained the whole Gospel for all ages, ‘Behold the Lamb of God, Which taketh away the sin of the world.’ And the Evangelist records no response, none of those eager throngs which wait upon modern... 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
