John 1:8
Douay-Rheims
He was not the light, but was to give testimony of the light.
Jamieson, Fausset & Brown
not that Light--(See on Joh 5:35). What a testimony to John to have to explain that "he was not that Light!" Yet was he but a foil to set it off, his night-taper dwindling before the Dayspring from on high (Joh 3:30).
