16. John answered —either to the deputation from Jerusalem (see :- , &c.), or on some other occasion, simply to remove impressions derogatory to his blessed Master which he knew to be taking hold of the popular mind. (Also see on :- .) saying unto them all —in solemn protestation. So far from entertaining such a thought as laying claim to the honors of Messiahship, the meanest services I can render to that "Mightier than I that is coming after me," are too high an honor for me. Beautiful spirit, distinguishing this servant of Christ throughout! one mightier than I —"the Mighter than I." return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verse-17" class="com-number"
