Commentary on John 3:26
Theological / DevotionalRabbi. See on ch. 1:38.
He that was with thee. See ch. 1:29-36.
The same baptizeth. See on ch. 4:2.
All men come to him. The preaching of John had met such popular acclaim that the scribes and priests became jealous of him (see on ch. 1:19-25). But here was a Teacher even more popular than John. John’s disciples resented the seeming success of Jesus and became jealous for their own master (cf. Mark 9:38). They felt that inasmuch as John’s baptism was characteristically his own (see on John 3:25), Jesus and others not directly associated with John and themselves had no right to administer the rite in the way and for the purpose that John did.
