John stood--"was standing," at his accustomed place. |
Notes on the Bible, by Albert Barnes, [1834] |
The next day - The day after his remarkable testimony that Jesus was the Son of God. This testimony of John is reported because it was the main design of this evangelist to show that Jesus was the Messiah. See the introduction. To do this, he adduces the decided and repeated testimony of John the Baptist. This was impartial evidence in the case, and hence he so particularly dwells upon it.John stood - Or was standing. This was probably apart from the multitude.
Two of his disciples - One of these was Andrew Joh 1:40, and it is not improbable that the other was the writer of this gospel. |
Vincent's Word Studies, by Marvin R. Vincent [1886] |
Stood (εἱστήκει)
Rev., more correctly, was standing, since the imperfect tense denotes something in progress. Here, therefore, with the idea of waiting; was standing in expectation. Compare Joh 7:37; Joh 18:5, Joh 18:6, Joh 18:18.
Two of his disciples
The one was Andrew (Joh 1:41), the other the Evangelist himself, who studiously refrains from mentioning his own name throughout the narrative. The name of James the elder also does not appear, nor that of Salome, the Evangelist's mother, who is mentioned by name in Mark's Gospel (Mar 15:40; Mar 16:1). The omission of his own name is the more significant from the fact that he is habitually exact in defining the names in his narrative. Compare the simple designation Simon (Joh 1:42) with subsequent occurrences of his name after his call, as Joh 1:42; Joh 13:6; Joh 21:15, etc. Also Thomas (Joh 11:16; Joh 20:24; Joh 21:2); Judas Iscariot (Joh 6:71; Joh 12:4; Joh 13:2, Joh 13:26); the other Judas (Joh 14:22). Note also that he never speaks of the Baptist as John the Baptist, like the other three Evangelists, but always as John. |

The next day - After that mentioned Joh 1:29.
Two of his disciples - One of them was Andrew, Joh 1:40, and it is very likely that John himself was the other; in every thing in which he might receive honor he studiously endeavors to conceal his own name. |
40 One of the two which heard John speak, and followed him, was Andrew, Simon Peter's brother.
