Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - John 3:22-24

John 3:22-24. After these things— Some time after the conference with Nicodemus, Jesus and his disciples, leaving Jerusalem, went into the land of Judea, or those parts of Judea which were remote from Jerusalem. As he took this journey that he might have an opportunity of baptizing his disciples, that is, the persons who believed him to be the Messiah, it is probable he went to Bethabara beyond Jordan, John having removed thence to Enon, a place in Samaria, about eight miles south of... read more

John 3:25. And the Jews— It should be observed, that the word Jews, in this place and some others, does not mean persons of that nation in general, but of the country of Judea (see John 3:22.), where baptism had just then been administered under the direction of Jesus; and where, as most of John's disciples were of Galilee, it was natural for persons of these two schools, to bring their respective disciples into competition; and that some Jews or men of Judea, baptized under Christ, would, by... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - John 3:27-28

John 3:27-28. A man can receive nothing, &c.— "A man of God, or prophet, can assume no greater dignity and authority, than God has thought fit to confer on him: you yourselves bear me witness, even by the words you have just now made use of, describing Jesus by the character of him, to whom I bear witness, that I said I am not the Christ, &c. I never pretended to be the Messiah, as you very well know; but when you asked me, I told you, I was only his harbinger, sent before to give you... read more

John 3:29. He that hath the bride, is the bridegroom:— "So far am I from envying his growing fame, or the number of his disciples, that I greatly rejoice in both; just as the bridegroom's friend, who is appointed to stand and hear him converse with his bride, rejoices in the love that she expresses to him; of which love the friend forms an idea likewise, by what he hears, the bridegroom say to her in return. My highest joy therefore is, that men cheerfully submit to the Messiah, and pay him all... read more

John 3:30-31. He must increase,— "I am not ignorant that his fame and the number of his disciples shall every day increase, while mine shall decrease; for he is a person of infinitely greater dignity than I am, possesses far more intimate knowledge of the divine will; and the discoveries which he makes thereof as far transcend mine, as heaven exceeds earth." read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - John 3:32

John 3:32. What he hath seen, &c.— In allusion to his being from above, where he enjoys the most intimate communications of his Father's counsels; that he testifieth; and no man receiveth his testimony; particularly concerning the spiritual nature of the kingdom of God, and the qualifications requisite in his subjects. There is a strong resemblance between this and what our Lord himself said to Nicodemus, John 3:11; John 3:13. As the two senses of seeing and hearing furnish us with the most... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - John 3:33-34

John 3:33-34. Hath set to his seal, &c.— Hath made a most becoming and substantial acknowledgment of the veracity of God, who by his prophets in antient times foretold what the nature of the Messiah's kingdom would be; and who speaketh now to men by his only-begotten Son, in such a manner as he never did by any mere prophet. For he whom God hath sent,—that is, his only-begotten Son, speaketh the words of God; doctrines, which by their own native truth and light shew themselves to be the... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - John 3:35

John 3:35. The Father loveth the Son,— The affection which the Father bears to his only-begotten Son, is altogether different from the regard which he shewed to his other messengers. They were servants, and were treated as such, being endued with scanty portions of the Spirit in comparison: whereas this is God's Son, for which reason he hath anointed him with the oil of gladness above his fellows, and made him not the greatest Prophet and Priest only, but the greatest King also that ever was;... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - John 3:36

John 3:36. He that believeth on the Son, &c.— "This," says the Baptist, "is the substance, and this is the end of my whole testimony; that he who has a lively faith in this only Son of God, hath everlasting life; hath a title to it, and the beginning of it already wrought in his soul; but he who disobeys the Son (for so the Greek should be rendered) shall not see life." It is of great importance to preserve a difference in the translation corresponding to that in the original, because the... read more
