by measure
John 3:34
3:34 by measure. John is here speaking of Christ, for certainly “God hath sent” Him, and He was fully controlled by the Holy Spirit. But the words are also applicable to John the Baptist, as he said: “I am sent before Him” (John 3:28). He also was filled with the Spirit (Luke 1:15) and spoke the words of God (John 1:23).
