John 1:38-39
“Jesus turned and saw them following and said to them, ‘What are you seeking?’ And they said to Him, ‘Rabbi’ (which means Teacher), ‘where are you staying?’ He said to them, ‘Come and you will see.’ So they came and saw where He was staying, and they stayed with Him that day, for it was…

John 1:35-37
“The next day, again, John was standing with two of his disciples, and he looked at Jesus as He walked by and said, ‘Behold, the Lamb of God!’ The two disciples heard him say this, and they followed Jesus.” In this passage we see what John means when he says that he must decrease so…

John 1:32-34
“And John bore witness: ‘I saw the Spirit descend from heaven like a dove, and it remained on Him. I myself did not know Him, but He who sent me to baptize with water said to me, ‘He on whom you see the Spirit descend and remain, this is He who baptizes with the Holy…

John 1:18
“No one has ever seen God; God the only Son, who is at the Father’s side, He has made Him known.” John has just made the comparison between the law that came through Moses and Jesus who brings the grace and truth of that law. Now John is making another comparison, between God the Son and God…

John 1:9
“The true light, which gives light to everyone, was coming into the world.” It is really interesting how John distinguishes, here, between the light and the true light. There have been other lights you can consider such as the prophets or even the law given to Moses to be light. John is making sure…

John 1:4
“In him was life, and the life was the light of men” The previous context for this verse is how Jesus is the creator of all things and how nothing was made without Him. Here, we see the paraphrase of this context “in Him was life.” Reiterating in practical terms the same thing that…

John 1:2+3
“He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through him, and without Him was not any thing made that was made.” The first phrase is a repeat of what came in the first verse to emphasize how important it is to know that Jesus was in the beginning with God. This is…
