(Show All Books | Show All Chapters)
This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
7 The same came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all men through him might believe.
Ver. 7. The same came for a witness] This he performed with a witness, verbis non solum disertis, sed et exertis. He witnessed plainly and plentifully, with a clear and punctual pronunciation, profession, indigitation, Joh_1:26; Joh_1:29; Joh_1:32; Joh_1:36.
That all men through him might believe] Our Saviour expected that men should have come as far to hear his forerunner and him as the Queen of Sheba came to hear Solomon, Mat_12:42. But the one thing necessary lies, alas, neglected. Men will run to hell as fast as they can: and if God cannot catch them (saith Mr Shephard) they care not, they will not come to Christ that they might live, Joh_5:40.
