Verse 7 of 51
Commentary
Commentary on John 1:7
Theological / DevotionalBear witness. In their state of spiritual blindness men in general were oblivious to the light and not receptive of it (vs. 10, 26). His spiritual perception, however, led John to recognize the Messiah (vs. 32-34). Compare Isa. 6:9; 2 Cor. 4:4; Rev. 3:17, 18.
Light. Gv.phos, a source of light. As the context makes evident, Christ is here said to be the light, as in v. 4 He is said to be the bearer of light (see on vs. 4, 5).
Believe. This word appears in the Gospel of John more than 100 times, stressing the vital importance of a positive response to the voice of God.
