John4:1
WHen the Lord therefore knew how the Pharisees had heard that Jesus made and baptized more disciples than John .
Our Saviour knew as God, from that Omnisciency which is inseparable from the Divine Nature, or as man by the relation of others
that the Pharisees (who had the greatest stroke in the Sanhedrim) and the Government of the Church of the Jews, had received an Information concerning him, That he had by his Doctrine which he preached, and confirmed by miraculous operations, made, and by his Disciples, baptized more Disciples than Iohn, thereby initiating them into a new Church.
