‏ John 1:6-8

Verse 6. Whose name was John.] This was John the Baptist; see his name and the nature of his office explained, Mr 1:4, and Mt 3:1-3.

Verse 7. That all men through him might believe.] He testified that Jesus was the true light-the true teacher of the way to the kingdom of glory, and the lamb or sacrifice of God, which was to bear away the sin of the world, Joh 1:29, and invited men to believe in him for the remission of their sins, that they might receive the baptism of the Holy Ghost, Joh 1:32-34. This was bearing the most direct witness to the light which was now shining in the dark wilderness of Judea; and, from thence, shortly to be diffused over the whole world.
