Commentary on John 4:2
John's clarification that Jesus Himself didn't baptize but His disciples did prevents misunderstanding about the necessity of apostolic baptism. This shows that the efficacy of sacraments depends on Christ's institution, not the administrator's status. The Reformed doctrine holds that valid baptism requires only a lawful administrator and proper elements, not apostolic hands.
