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

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - John 1:37-42

We have here the turning over of two disciples from John to Jesus, and one of them fetching in a third, and these are the first-fruits of Christ's disciples; see how small the church was in its beginnings, and what the dawning of the day of its great things was. I. Andrew and another with him were the two that John Baptist had directed to Christ, John 1:37. Who the other was we are not told; some think that it was Thomas, comparing John 21:2; others that it was John himself, the penman of this... read more

William Barclay's Daily Study Bible - John 1:32-34

1:32-34 So John bore his witness. "With my own eyes," he said, "I saw the Spirit coming down from heaven, as it might have been a dove, and the Spirit remained upon him. And I did not know him. But it was he who sent me to baptize with water who said to me: 'The one on whom you see the Spirit coming down and remaining is the one who baptizes with the Holy Spirit.' And I saw it happen; and my witness stands that this is the Son of God." Something had happened at the baptism of Jesus which... read more

William Barclay's Daily Study Bible - John 1:35-39

1:35-39 On the next day John was again standing with two of his disciples. John looked at Jesus as he walked. "See!" he said, "The Lamb of God!" And the two disciples heard him speaking and followed Jesus. Jesus turned and saw them following him. "What are you looking for?" he said to them. "Rabbi" (the word means Teacher), they said to him, "where are you staying?" He said to them: "Come and see!" They came and saw where he was staying, and they stayed with him throughout that day. And it... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - John 1:34

And I saw ,.... The Spirit descending from heaven as a dove, and lighting upon Jesus, and remaining some time on him; this he saw with his bodily eyes: and bore record ; at the same time, before all the people that were with him, when he baptized Jesus: that this is the Son of God ; the natural, essential, and eternal Son of God; who being sent in the fulness of time, had assumed an human nature, in which he became subject to all ordinances, and had the Spirit without measure... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - John 1:35

Again, the next day after ,.... The third day from the priests and Levites having been with John, to know who he was. The Syriac, Arabic, and Persic versions, leave out the word "again": stood, and two of his disciples ; one of these was Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, as appears from John 1:40 and very likely the other was the Evangelist John, the writer of this Gospel, who always chooses to conceal himself. John the Baptist stood, and these disciples by him, in some certain place near... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - John 1:36

And looking upon Jesus as he walked ,.... Either by them; or as he was going from them to his lodgings; it being toward the close of the day, when John had finished his work for that day, and the people were departing home: John fixed his eyes intently on Christ, with great pleasure and delight, and pointing at him, he saith, behold the Lamb of God ; as in John 1:29 , where it is added, "which taketh away the sin of the world"; and which the Ethiopic version subjoins here. read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - John 1:37

And the two disciples heard him speak ,.... The above words, and took notice of them; faith in Christ came by hearing them; they reached their hearts, and they found their affections, and the desires of their souls, to be after Christ: and they followed Jesus ; left their master, and went after him, in order to get some acquaintance with him, and receive some instructions from him. read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - John 1:38

Then Jesus turned, and saw them following ,.... That is, "him", as the Vulgate Latin, and all the Oriental versions add: he saw by their walk, and by their countenances, that they were following him; and which he knew before he turned himself: he knew what John had said, and what an effect it had upon these disciples, and what was working in their hearts, and how desirous they were of coming up to him, and conversing with him; and therefore he turned himself, that they might have an... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - John 1:39

He saith unto them, come and see ,.... He gave them an invitation, to go along with him directly, and see with their own eyes, where he dwelt, and there and then converse with him, and at any other time; to which they had a hearty welcome: they came and saw where he dwelt ; they accepted of the invitation, and went along with him immediately, and saw, and took notice of the place where he had lodgings, that they might know it, and find it another time; which Dr. Lightfoot conjectures was... read more
