John - 4:1 Meaning
“When therefore the Lord knew how the Pharisees had heard that Jesus made and baptized more disciples than John,”
King James Version (KJV)
Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary
4:1-3 Jesus applied himself more to preaching, which was the more excellent, 1Co 1:17, than to baptism. He would put honour upon his disciples, by employing them to baptize. He teaches us that the benefit of sacraments depends not on the hand that administers them.
“Jehoahaz was twenty and three years old when he began to reign; and he reigned three months in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Hamutal, the daughter of Jeremiah of Libnah.”
