These six words, which are so characteristic of John's message,
would, if studied together, throw considerable light upon the special
purpose of his Gospel.
The following inter-relation of the four Gospels is common
knowledge, but is set out here in order that our testimony may be
complete, and that all readers may have the benefit.
MATTH. - Christ is set forth as KING. `Behold thy King'
(Zech. 9:9).
Christ is set forth as David's BRANCH. `Behold ... I will
raise unto David a righteous Branch and a King shall reign
and prosper' (Jer. 23:5,6; 33:15).
Christ's genealogy is therefore given from Abraham
through David (Matt. 1:1-17).
Christ, relatively, presented as in the highest earthly
position, a KING.
