John 1:35

“Again, the next day after, etc.] The third day from the priests and Levites having been with John, to know who he was. The Syriac, Arabic, and Persic versions, leave out the word “again”: John stood, and two of his disciples; one of these was Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother, as appears from (<430140>John 1:40) and very likely the other was the Evangelist John, the writer of this Gospel, who always chooses to conceal himself. John the Baptist stood, and these disciples by him, in some certain place near Jordan, where he was preaching and baptizing.”

“John stood--"was standing," at his accustomed place.”

“The next day - The day after his remarkable testimony that Jesus was the Son of God. This testimony of John is reported because it was the main design of this evangelist to show that Jesus was the Messiah. See the introduction. To do this, he adduces the decided and repeated testimony of John the Baptist. This was impartial evidence in the case, and hence he so particularly dwells upon it.John stood - Or was standing. This was probably apart from the multitude. Two of his disciples - One of these was Andrew John 1:40, and it is not improbable that the other was the writer of this gospel. return to 'Top of Page'”
