NASB | John 3:34 "For He whom God has sent speaks the words of God; for He gives the Spirit without measure. |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | John 3:34 "For He whom God has sent speaks the words of God [proclaiming the Father's own message]; for God gives the [gift of the] Spirit without measure [generously and boundlessly]! [Deut 18:18] |
Bible Question (short): Spirit without measure???? |
Question (full): When John the Baptist was testifying about Jesus, he made this statement. I'm kind of confused about what this means, because the King James Version adds "unto Him" at the end of the verse, and others don't. With "unto Him" added, it would be very clear that the Spirit was given to Jesus without measure. And if so, would it be referring to when He was baptized, when the Spirit rested upon Him or was He born with the full measure of the Spirit? Or... since some of the other versions I've checked don't have "unto Him" at the end of the verse, would "He" who gives the Spirit without measure be referring to God or Jesus. If it's God is the spirit being given to Jesus without measure or to all believers. If the "He" is Jesus, it would have to be all believers. Sorry I had to form the question like this, but couldn't figure out a simpler way to phrase it. Thanks for your thoughts, God Bless, Pat |
