Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - John 1:35-37

‘Again on the next day John was standing, and two of his disciples, and he looked on Jesus as he walked and says, “Behold, the Lamb of God”. And the two disciples heard him speak and they followed Jesus.’ The section begins with John reiterating to two of his disciples that Jesus is ‘the Lamb of God’. The repetition emphasises the importance of the idea to the writer. It indicates that the idea of Jesus’ atonement was seen by him as crucial. When two of the disciples of John the Baptist heard... 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 1:38

‘And they said to him, “Rabbi, (which means, being interpreted, ‘Master’), where do you abide?” It is probable that the writer, who has thought about it for many years, intends this too to have a deeper meaning. ‘Where are you staying’, yes, but also ‘where do you continually dwell?’ The answer to the latter is, of course, ‘with the Father, in His love (John 15:10) and in His presence’. At this time the address ‘Rabbi’ could be given to any respected teacher. Later it would become a technical... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - John 1:39

‘They came therefore and saw where he dwelt, and they remained with him that day. It was about the tenth hour.’ So in response to Jesus’ invitation they go to where He is staying and spend the day with Him, presumably being taught by Him. But behind it may well lie the implication that they also became enlightened by Him as to His eternal dwelling place (‘they saw where He dwelt’). They became aware that He was truly from God. The reference to the tenth hour suggests someone who was there. He... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - John 1:40

‘One of the two who heard John speak and followed Him, was Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother.’ In a passage where names are continually given the total silence as to the name of Andrew’s companion is profoundly significant. It cannot have been forgotten. Too many remembered that day, and after all they were the first disciples of Jesus. We must therefore see the silence as deliberate, and in the face of the fact that the name of the Apostle John is never mentioned in the Gospel the inevitable... 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

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - John 1:42

‘He brought him to Jesus. Jesus looked on him and said, “You are Simon, the son of John, you will be called Cephas (which is by interpretation, Peter)”.’ ‘He brought him to Jesus.’ What a multitude of meaning lies in those words. Humanly speaking the great Peter owed his conversion to Andrew. And it is a reminder that that is what we are to seek to do. To bring men to Jesus. So Simon comes to see for himself, and on seeing Simon, Jesus declares that one day he will be renamed Peter (petros in... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - John 1:27-34

John 1:27-Nahum : . The Baptists Witness to Himself.— The baptism of Jesus has apparently taken place. John points to Him as the greater one of whom he had spoken. His own work of baptism, which has not been described but is assumed to be known, is, he says, preparatory to the manifestation of Messiah to Israel. Like others John had been ignorant, till the sign of the Spirit descending and abiding on Jesus had revealed to him the true Baptizer, who should give men the true baptism of 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's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - John 1:29

The next day; the most think, the day following that day when the messengers from Jerusalem had been examining the Baptist. Heinsius thinks it was the same day, and saith, the Hellenists usually so interpret εν επαυπιον, for μετα ταυτα, after these things; but the former sense is more generally embraced. John seeth Jesus coming to him, out of the wilderness, as some think, where he had been tempted by the devil; but then it must follow, that he was not amongst the crowd, John 1:2, standing in... read more
