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

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

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - John 1:35-51

Disciples Begin to Gather to Jesus (John 1:35-51 ). The great teachers of Israel would often have bands of ‘disciples’ who gathered round them to learn from them, and then to pass on their teaching. Here we learn that Jesus also began to attract disciples. This passage is a deliberate way of stressing that here is a greater than John, for some of John’s disciples leave him in order to follow Jesus, (and that is how John wanted it). It is interesting in that the passage indicates almost... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - John 1:41

‘He first finds his own brother Simon and says to him, “We have found the Messiah (which is being interpreted ‘the Christ’)”. Andrew then seeks out his brother Simon (Peter) and declares that they have found ‘the Messiah’. Once someone has truly found Christ they cannot help but seek to tell others. That is a proof of their genuineness. At this stage, in their first enthusiasm, it is clear that they consider Jesus to be the expected Messiah. That was what John was pointing to. Such was the... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - John 1:35-51

John 1:35-Colossians : . The Baptist’ s Disciples and Jesus.— On the morrow to two of his disciples John bears similar witness. The account in its details suggests the recollections of one to whom the incident bad been the turning-point of his life. The tenth hour, four o’ clock, if true or traditional, may have suggested to the writer “ the beginning of a new era.” He could hardly have invented it for that purpose. The unnamed disciple ( cf. John 1:40) is generally identified with John the... read more

Matthew Poole

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - John 1:41

It should seem that both the disciples (after their converse with Christ at the place where he lodged) went together to look for Peter, Andrew’s brother. Andrew first found him, and tells him (with great joy) that he and that other disciple had found the Messiah, prophesied of by Daniel, and in the expectation of whom the disciples and the Jews lived. The term Messiah in Hebrew is the same with Christ in Greek, and both signify the same with Anointed in English. The article in this place is... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - John 1:38-44

EXPLANATORY AND CRITICAL NOTESJohn 1:38-43. Jesus turned, etc.—Jesus saw these two young men modestly following Him, too diffident to accost Him. He, therefore, with friendly invitation encouraged them. “What seek ye?” The apparently irrelevant answer of the disciples, “Rabbi, where dwellest Thou?” may be understood as simply expressing a desire for further acquaintance and conversation with the Saviour. The use of the word Rabbi with the interpretation shows that this Gospel was intended in... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - John 1:35-42

John 1:35-42 The First Disciples. I. We see here the very first beginnings of the Christian Church. With what reverent interest may we meetly regard this simple record of the beginning of that great kingdom which has made every other feel its sway. It has affected the stability of empires, overthrown old idolatries, exploded philosophies, and, in spite of opposition, has outspread itself already into almost world-wide breadth. And it begins here with the Divine quietness which is characteristic... read more
