And John bare record,.... The same day that he said the above things, and at the same time:saying, I saw the Spirit; that is, of God, as is said in Mt 3:16 and which Nonnus here expresses; and the Ethiopic version reads, "the Holy Ghost",descending from heaven like a dove; at the time of his baptism;see Gill "Mt 3:16".
