John 1:34

34 I have seen this happen, and I tell you the truth: This man is the Son of God."

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

33 Then John said, "I saw the Spirit come down from heaven in the form of a dove and rest on him. Until then I did not know who the Christ was. But the God who sent me to baptize with water told me, 'You will see the Spirit come down and rest on a man; he is the One who will baptize with the Holy Spirit.'

34 I have seen this happen, and I tell you the truth: This man is the Son of God."

35 The next day Johnn was there again with two of his followers.

36 When he saw Jesus walking by, he said, "Look, the Lamb of God!"
