John 1:34

34 I have seen and testified that this one is God's Son."

John 1:34 Meaning and Commentary

John 1:34

And I saw
The Spirit descending from heaven as a dove, and lighting upon Jesus, and remaining some time on him; this he saw with his bodily eyes:

and bore record;
at the same time, before all the people that were with him, when he baptized Jesus:

that this is the Son of God;
the natural, essential, and eternal Son of God; who being sent in the fulness of time, had assumed an human nature, in which he became subject to all ordinances, and had the Spirit without measure bestowed on him; and which was an evidence who he was, and of what he came about.

John 1:34 In-Context

32 John testified, "I saw the Spirit coming down from heaven like a dove, and it rested on him.

33 Even I didn't recognize him, but the one who sent me to baptize with water said to me, ‘The one on whom you see the Spirit coming down and resting is the one who baptizes with the Holy Spirit.'

34 I have seen and testified that this one is God's Son."

35 The next day John was standing again with two of his disciples.

36 When he saw Jesus walking along he said, "Look! The Lamb of God!"
