Gine of great excitement and caped/.
Oen u_aaer1111t„ the Alt s ill John spoke
with authority and his nucees0 WAS
great. He had proclauued.that a new
dispensation was at hand (Alatl. 312),
and itis Wlis believed to refer to the
llc.5srah. Accordingly a delegation of
priests and Lookers was scut to John
from the Sadiadrin in Jerusalem for the
purpose of interviewing' him with ''re-
spect to himself and his ntidsiol. 'They
asked hint, "Who nht thou?" Who do
von profess to be'? Do yea assume to
Abe t.he. Messiah, or are you it prophet?
John positively declared that be Was not
the. Christ, neither. was he Elijah nor
"th01 prophet," It is true that Jesus
said that John wit:, Elijah (Matt, 11:11),
but he was speaking figuratively (00m.
path Luke 1:17). while John's question-
ers .were speaking .literally,- acid John

The message he delivered is referred to
in lea. 40:3-5. The idea is taker from
the practice of eastern monarchs, who,
whenever they took to journey, sent liar•
singers before then to prepare the way.

work of unlacing and removing the sate
dals belonged to the humblest servant,
and because of Christ's gretttuess John
said lie setts unworthy to do, ever that,
'1'lte desire to exalt Christ -and abase
himself \vas ever' nppermost in John's
mind. 20. Bethaba'a—Thee R. V, has
Bethany. (This wits not the Bethany on
the Mount of'Ulived.). Both names have
nearly the stanb& Meaning, Bethany 'some-
times signifying "boat house and Beth.
abara "ford house,' or "ferry house:
"Probably these were the napes of two
villages or districts near .together, of
which the name Bethany, the smaller of
the two villages faded out, Or John
may have been baptizing in a place be-
tween the two villages, and hence.seme•
times culled by one name and sometimes
by the other."
III. John points out Jesus (vs. 29.31•)
29, The next dry—The day following the
testimony of John to the deputation
from Jerusalem, Seeth Jesus—The fact
that John, knew Jesus shows that the
baptism and temptation (Matt, 3; 13 to
4; 11) preceded the events 'of this les-
son- lamb of God—There fe no reason-
able doubt that John gave this Haute to
our 1,ord because he was the true sacri-
fice for sin, the trite nutitype of the
passovo' lamb, and tho lamb prophesied
of by Isaiah ilea. 53; 7.) Ryle. The
daily saeeifice.of a lamb''0lts continually
before the people, reminding them of
their need of an atoncuteilt for sits.
Without doubt, John, who was Ocher:
Linger of Christ, was enlightened beyond
others with respect tosClu'istts office and
mission, and saw for Limn the great sin -
offering for the sins of the whole world,

"The world is weary with its ,cumbrous

only through faith in Christ,
30. After me, etc,—Jesus came after
John in point of time, but he was pre-
ferred Mors him in dignity and honor.
Was before me—This refers to Christ's
eternal preexistence with the Father.

to last affords nn illustrious example of
true humility. Fcw;nnmes, in the Bible
