John 1:19
This is the record of John. The writer now plunges at once into his
history. He passes by the childhood of the Lord, John's ministry, and
comes at once to the time when Jesus, thirty years old, is acknowledged
by the Father as the Son of God.
When the Jews sent priests and Levites. The Jewish rulers, the
Sanhedrin, the court or parliament of seventy-one members who ruled
Israel. The delegation sent to John was official. His preaching in the
wilderness of Jordan had stirred the whole land, and they were sent to
ascertain his character. Matthew, Mark, and Luke use the term "Jews"
very seldom (16 times), John often (70 times), a proof that he wrote
far away from Palestine and for Gentiles.
