Matthew Poole and continuators on John 10:41

41 And many resorted unto him, and said, John did no miracle : but all things that John spake of this man were true .

God so ordered it in the Wisdom of his Providence, that though Elijah and Elisha under the Law wrought miracles, by which they confirmed their Divine Mission; yet Iohn coming immediately before Christ, as his Messenger and Forerunner, wrought none▪ that so the glory of Christ in working miracles when he came, might be more clear and evident. This made the People, that came to Christ while he was in Galilee, say thus amongst themselves, We paid a great Veneration to Iohn the Baptist, yet he never did those things which Christ hath done.

And whatsoever Iohn told us of this Person, hath proved true; He hath done, and doth greater things than ever Iohn did: and is in the judgment of sense to be preferred before him: shou[illegible: 1 letter]d we not now believe in him: Iohn told us he was the Lamb of God, who takes away the sins of the World: and told us much more concerning him, which our Eyes see is true.
