John 3:31 (KJV)
Commentary on John 3:31
John contrasts his earthly origin with Christ's heavenly: 'He that cometh from above is above all: he that is of the earth is earthly, and speaketh of the earth: he that cometh from heaven is above all.' Origin determines authority. Earthly prophets (including John) speak earthly perspectives; the One from heaven possesses absolute authority. This isn't self-deprecation but theological clarity. Jesus' superiority isn't comparative but categorical—He's from above.
