Joh 3:34 | NETfull | STEP | For the one whom God has sent speaks the words of God, for he does not give the Spirit sparingly.

John 3:34

34 For the one whom God has sent ^{▼▼ That is, Christ.} speaks the words of God, for he does not give the Spirit sparingly. ^{▼▼ Grk “for not by measure does he give the Spirit” (an idiom). Leviticus Rabbah 15:2 states: “The Holy Spirit rested on the prophets by measure.” Jesus is contrasted to this. The Spirit rests upon him without measure.}
