John Trapp on John 1:43

Verſe 43. Follow me.] Together with Chriſts word, there went out a power. His words are operative and efficacious. This Prophecie the Atheiſt, and Julian the Apoſtate underſtood not; and therefore lighting upon this and the like places of the Goſpel, they blaſphemouſly affirmed, that either the Evangeliſts were lyars, or the Apoſtles fooles; that with one word only of our Saviour, would be drawn to follow him.
