John 3:27

27 John answered and said, A man can receive nothing, except it be given him from heaven.

Ver. 27. A man can receive nothing ] There is much in this word "man," as Beza thinks, to set forth the most miserable indigence of all mankind by nature. a The Greeks, when they set forth one miserable indeed, they call him τρισανθρωπον , thrice a man.

a Videtur hominis appellatio magnum habere momentum.
