The WORD Became Flesh (Week 2) John 1:19-34 “The Testimony of The Baptizer”
Introduction
I have seen and testified that this is The Son of God. John 1:34
As we have already seen, John presents his conclusions about Jesus in the opening statements
of his gospel. He then proceeds to call his witnesses to the stand, as it were, to show us how he has
come to his conclusions. The word for “testimony” in the Greek is “maturia”, and John uses that word or some form of it more than seventy-five times in this writing. Just as any attorney would make his case by the calling of witnesses, this is exactly what John is doing here.
