John 1:34

34 That's exactly what I saw happen, and I'm telling you, there's no question about it: This 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 John clinched his witness with this: "I watched the Spirit, like a dove flying down out of the sky, making himself at home in him.

33 I repeat, I know nothing about him except this: The One who authorized me to baptize with water told me, 'The One on whom you see the Spirit come down and stay, this One will baptize with the Holy Spirit.'

34 That's exactly what I saw happen, and I'm telling you, there's no question about it: This is the Son of God."

35 The next day John was back at his post with two disciples, who were watching.

36 He looked up, saw Jesus walking nearby, and said, "Here he is, God's Passover Lamb."
