John 1:35 Meaning and Commentary

John 1:35

Again, the next day after
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 ( 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 1:35 In-Context

33 And I did not know him, but the one who sent me to baptize with water, that one said to me, '[The one] upon whom you see the Spirit descending and remaining upon him--this one is the one who baptizes with the Holy Spirit.'

34 And I have seen and testify that this one is the Chosen One of God.

35 On the next day again John was standing [there], and two of his disciples,

36 and looking at Jesus [as he] was walking by, he said, "Look! The Lamb of God!"

37 And the two disciples heard him speaking, and they followed Jesus.
