John 21:24-25 This is the disciple which testifies of these things, and wrote these things: and we know that his testimony is true.… The materials which he has actually made use of are few in number compared with the store from which he might have drawn; he omitted many things, the record of which might have over-filled the world with books; with only a few selections from his rich treasury, he shows us the glory of the Incarnate Word — as if a painter should take a bit of grey rock, a tuft of maidenhair fern growing in a crevice, some patches of grass and heather, a tree or two, a human figure, a dim-seen mountain range, the infinite blue sky, and putting these into a picture should show us the glory of God in nature. (J. Culross, D. D.) Parallel Verses KJV: This is the disciple which testifieth of these things, and wrote these things: and we know that his testimony is true. |
