F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - John 3:31-36

a Witness to Be Trusted John 3:31-36 Let us all seek to live more habitually in heaven, that is, in contact with the spiritual world. To do our best work in the world it is not necessary to be great in argument or rhetoric, but simply to bear witness of what we have seen and heard. It is true that the natural man will not receive our testimony. Paul found that out in after years, 1 Corinthians 2:14 . But where our witness is accepted by the spiritually-minded, another seal is placed upon it... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - John 3:1-36

Nicodemus would seem to have been one of the finest products of Judaism. He was thoroughly sincere. Moreover, he was determined to investigate for himself, and so came to Jesus by night, not because he was cowardly, but because he sought a lonely and personal interview. This was the man to whom our Lord revealed the necessity for the new birth. When the statement created difficulty in the mind of Nicodemus, our Lord revealed to him the fact and necessity for the Cross. Whether Nicodemus... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - John 3:22-36

John the Baptiser Decreases (John 3:22-36 ). At this stage Jesus began His ministry alongside that of John the Baptist in a supporting role. It was not His intention at this stage to supersede him. Indeed, when He learned that His success was diminishing John He retired to Galilee. Meanwhile on being approached by the Pharisees John pointed to Jesus as a greater than himself. The two worked together in perfect harmony. read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - John 3:31-34

‘He who comes from above is above all. He that is of the earth is of the earth, and of the earth he speaks. He who comes from Heaven is above all. What he has seen and heard, of that he bears witness, and no man receives his witness. He that has received his witness has set his seal to this, that God is true. For he whom God has sent speaks the words of God, for he gives not the Spirit by measure.’ It is sometimes difficult in this Gospel to know when the speaker’s words cease and the comments... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - John 3:35

‘The Father loves the Son and has given all things into his hand.’ Jesus receives the Spirit without measure because He is ‘the Son’ and ‘the Father loves the Son and has given all things into His hands’. This is the first mention of Jesus as ‘the Son’ in this Gospel, but the first of many such mentions. It is a frequent title in John’s Gospel. The title stresses His total uniqueness. He is not one of many but the only One, with a unique relationship to ‘the Father’ above that of the angels.... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - John 3:22-36

John 3:22-Zephaniah : . The Last Appearance of the Baptist.— Convinced that the nation is not ripe for Messianic teaching, Jesus falls back on preparatory work similar to that of John, who was continuing his work at Æ non near Salim. In Eusebius’ time this was identified with a place on the borders of Galilee and Samaria not far from Bethshan. Modern explorers favour a place called ‘ Aynun, north of the Salim near Nablus. The evangelist notes that John’ s imprisonment did not take place, as... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - John 3:34

He whom God hath sent out of heaven, out of his bosom, not merely authorizing him as a minister, as the prophets and as John were sent, speaketh nothing but the words of God. The prophets and the apostles were sent of God in a sense, but not as Christ was sent; they sometimes spake the words of God, when the Spirit of God came upon them; but they sometimes spake their own words, as Nathan did to David, when he encouraged his thoughts to build a house to the Lord; and Paul, when he said, To the... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - John 3:35

The eternal Father loved the world, John 3:16, but he loved the Son with a more singular and peculiar love; so that all things were by the Father delivered to him, Matthew 11:27, all power in heaven and earth, Matthew 28:18; to give eternal life to as many as the Father had given him, John 17:2; the keys of hell and of death, Revelation 1:18. So as every man hath reason to receive and embrace Christ and his testimony, and to believe in him. read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - John 3:23-36

EXPLANATORY AND CRITICAL NOTESJohn 3:23. Ænon near to Salim (Αἰνών, from עַין, Arab. عين, a spring).—Salim was long supposed to have been situated about eight miles from Beth-Shean, i.e. in the north of Samaria. But this would discord with John 3:22. Recent research has, however, discovered a site more in consonance with the narrative. “Dr, Barclay (City of the Great King) found both names in a place answering the description … at Wady Farah, about five miles from Jerusalem” (Watkins).John... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - John 3:1-36

Have we got a message for you tonight from the Word of God! John chapter 3 and 4, oh my, how rich! How blessed!There was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews ( John 3:1 ).We know a few things about him; we know that he must have been very wealthy, for he came with Joseph of Arimathea to embalm the body of Jesus after the crucifixion. And he brought these costly spices, about a hundred pounds, that only a very wealthy person could afford. A ruler of the Jews means that he... read more
