Gill's Notes on the Bible
The same was in the beginning with God. This is a repetition of what is before said, and is made to show the importance of the truths before delivered; namely, the eternity of Christ, his distinct personality, and proper deity; and that the phrase, in the beginning, is to be joined to each of the above sentences; and so proves, not only his eternal existence, but his eternal existence with the Father, and also his eternal deity; and is also made to carry on the thread of the discourse, concerning the word, and not God the Father; and to express, not only his co-existence in nature, but his co-operation in the works of creation next mentioned.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
The same - The Word, or the λοÌÎ³Î¿Ï Logos.
Was in the beginning with God - This seems to be a repetition of what was said in the first verse; but it is stated over again to âguard the doctrine,â and to prevent the possibility of a mistake. John had said that he existed before the creation, and that he was âwith God;â but he had not said in the first verse âthat the union with God existed in the beginning.â He now expresses that idea, and assures us that that union was not one which was commenced in time, and which might be, therefore, a mere union of feeling, or a compact, like that between any other beings, but was one which existed in eternity, and which was therefore a union of nature or essence.
