"And John bare record, saying, I saw the Spirit descending from heaven like a dove, and it abode upon him."
Commentary
Gill's Exposition
And John bare record,.... The same day that he said the above things, and at the same time: saying, I saw the Spirit; that is, of God, as is said
in Mat 3:16 and which Nonnus here expresses; and the Ethiopic version reads, "the Holy Ghost", descending from heaven like a dove; at the time of his baptism; see Gill on Mat 3:16 . And it abode upon him; for some time; so long as that John had a full sight of it, and so was capable of giving a perfect account of it, and bearing a certain and distinct testimony to it.
