On this verse

Draft selections — awaiting the founder’s edit.

Let it not be said that all Christ's followers are unlearned and ignorant men. The principles of the Pharisees, and the peculiarities of their sect, were directly contrary to the spirit of Christianity; yet there were some in whom even those high thoughts were cast down and brought into obedience to Christ. The grace of Christ is able to subdue the greatest opposition.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

Ye bring me glad tidings of great joy. He must increase, but I must decrease; this, my joy, therefore is fulfilled." A man can receive, &c.--can assume nothing, that is, lawfully and with any success; that is, Every man has his work and sphere appointed him from above. Even Christ Himself came under this law (Heb 5:4).
