Context of John 3:35
33Anyone who does believe his message agrees that God is true. 34The one that God has sent speaks God's words. God has given his Spirit to fill that person completely. The Father loves the Son. He has given his Son authority over all things. 36Anyone who believes in the Son has life with God for ever. But anyone who refuses to obey the Son will never have life with God. God will continue to be angry with people like that.’

- Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 22-36Verses 22-36 John was fully satisfied with the place and work assigned him; but Jesus came on a more important work.
