EXPLANATION

Verse 31. He that cometh from above, meaning Christ. He that is of the earth, meaning himself, is from the earth, [2] is earthly, is but a frail and infirm man; and so speaketh as from the earth: this seems rather the sense, than that he speaketh of, or concerning the earth. See the Greek text. Witham.
