For he whom God hath sent speaketh the words of God: for God giveth not the Spirit by measure unto him.

Study Note
The declaration that 'he whom God has sent utters the words of God, for he gives the Spirit without measure' establishes an absolute relationship between the Father's commissioning, the Son's speech, and the Spirit's unlimited provision. The phrase 'without measure' (ou ek metrou) stands in contrast to the partial endowment of the Spirit received by Old Testament prophets and individuals, presenting Jesus as uniquely and permanently endowed. Whether the subject of 'gives' is the Father (giving the Spirit to the Son) or the Son (giving the Spirit without measure to others) is debated, with the former reading better fitting the context of the Father-Son relationship. The verse is foundational for trinitarian pneumatology, establishing the Spirit's presence in the Son as qualitatively distinct from all prior prophetic endowment.
