This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Joh 1:20. Ὡμολόγησε, he confessed) the truth. Comp. Joh 1:8; ch. Joh 5:33.-οὐκ ἠρνήσατο, he denied not) Whilst he denied himself, he did not deny Christ [Psa 118:15-16 (Perhaps Beng. means Ps. 119 = 118 in the Septuag.)]-ἐγώ, I) By thus limiting his speech [to the denial that he was the Christ] he gives a handle to the thought arising, that the Christ is not far off.-ὁ χριστός, the Christ) they had suspected that John was the Christ.
