Commentary on John 3:26
John's disciples report with concern: 'Rabbi, he that was with thee beyond Jordan, to whom thou barest witness, behold, the same baptizeth, and all men come to him.' They see Jesus as competitor—someone John endorsed now surpassing him. The phrase 'all men come to him' expresses exaggeration born of jealousy. John's disciples haven't grasped their teacher's purpose: to decrease while Christ increases. Human tendency protects our teacher, our movement, our significance.
