Commentary on John 1:27
Theological / DevotionalHe it is. Important textual evidence may be cited (cf. p. 146) for the omission of this clause. It seems to have been inserted later because of a failure to recognize that the following clause, translated “who coming after me,” is in apposition to the last part of v. 26, “there standeth one among you, whom ye know not.” The insertion “he it is” entered English Bibles through the influence of the Latin Vulgate. Accordingly, the first part of v. 27 would read, “even the one coming after me.”
After me. See on Matt. 3:11.
Is preferred before me. Textual evidence favors (cf. p. 146) the omission of this clause. It is attested by only a few late manuscripts (cf. DA 136). However, textual evidence attests the expression in vs. 15, 30.
I am not worthy. See on Matt. 3:11.
