      2.3.2 Jesus’ Self-Revelation as the Son of God (vv. 19–47)

      - Jesus’ Doing in God as His “Son” (vv. 19–30)

      v. 19: The Johannine typical introductory statement “amen, amen, I tell you” in verses 19a, 24a, 25a introduces the first part (cf. vv. 19–30) of His speech (cf. vv. 19–47). Because of His statement in verse 17b–c which “the Jews” understood in the sense of a “ditheism”⁴¹⁴, Jesus, the “Son of God” (v. 25c) respectively “Son of Man” (v. 27c ) – in Greek “huɩós” as a keyword in verses 19c, f, 20a, 21b, 22b, 23a, c, 25c, 26b, 27c – justifies the view of His mutual relationship with the heavenly “FATHER” (in Greek “patér” in vv. 17b, 18c[, d], 19d, 20a, 21a, 22a, 23b, d, 26a, 36b, e, 37a, 43a, 45b):

      “( ) [The Son] can [ ] do (nothing) of His own” – note the verses 19c, 30a as an inclusion⁴¹⁵ –

      but only “what He sees” (in Greek “blépo”) “the FATHER doing” – note the verbum simplex “poɩéo” as a keyword in verses 11b, 15d, 16b, 18b, 19c–f, 20c, 27b, 29b, 30a, 36d. Therefore for “whatever” the “FATHER” “does

      that … the Son ( ) does (likewise)” (in Greek “homoíos” in v. 19f and John 6:11; 21:13) – note the parallelism/climax⁴¹⁶/same structure (“FATHER” + verb – “SON” + verb) as in verses 17b–c, 21a, b, 23a, b, c, d, 26a, c.

      v. 20: Jesus emphasizes God as His pre-existence/“basis”:

      “(For) the ( ) FATHER loves” (in Greek “phɩléo” in v. 20a and in 3:35; 10:17; 15:9; 17:23–26) “the SON and [ ] shows Him” (v. 20a, c and John 3:11, 32; 8:38; 1 John 1:1) “[all]

      that He Himself is doing.

      And greater⁴¹⁷ {works⁴¹⁸}” (cf. vv. 17b, c, 20c, 36b, d – please do not understand this in a quantivative rather in a qualitative⁴¹⁹ sense) “than these will be show Him { },

      so that you /may/ amazed/marvel” (in Greek “thaumázo” in vv. 20d, 28a).

      v. 21: He continues in a soteriological/eschatological⁴²⁰ sense:

      “(For) as ( ) the FATHER” (vv. 21, 26a) “raises the dead and gives /them/ life” (in Greek “zoopoɩéo” in v. 21a, b and 6:63 – cf., for example, Deuteronomy 32:39; 1 Samuel 2:6; 2 Kings 5:7; Hosea 6:2) “so also the SON ( ) gives life (/to/ whom He will)”.

      vv. 22–23: He explains His view with the help of a correction⁴²¹ (“not … but”):

      “… The FATHER judges⁴²² no one,

      but ( ) [ ] /has/ given” (in Greek “dídomɩ” in vv. 22b, 26b, 27a, 36b and, for example, John 1:12; 3:16; 6:27, 31–34, 37, 39, 51–52) “[all] (judgement) /to/ the SON,

      that all” – the “children of God”, the Creator⁴²³ – “/may/ honour⁴²⁴ the SON,

      /just/ as they honour the FATHER.”

      In the negative way (cf. John 12:48; 15:23; Luke 10:16; 1 John 2:23), it means:

      “Whoever /does/ not honour the SON,

      /does/ not honour the FATHER who sent Him” (vv. 23d₂, 24b₂, 30e, 37a and John 4:43; 6:38–39, 44; 7:16, 28, 33; 8:16, 18, 26, 29; 9:4; 12:44–45, 49; 13:20; 14:24; 15:21; 16:5).

      v. 24: Again the Johannine introductory phrase (cf. vv. 19a, 25a) emphasizes with a second correction⁴²⁵ in the present tense that whoever “hears” (vv. 24b, 25c, d, 28c, 30b, 37b – cf., for example, Deuteronomy 4:1; 5:1; 9:1; Romans 10:18) His “word” (cf. 8:51) “and believes /in/” God the FATHER “who sent” (vv. 23d₂, 24b, 30e, 37a) Jesus, His SON,

      “has (eternal) life⁴²⁶ ( )” (cf. vv. 24d, 39c and in John 3:15–16, 36; 4:14, 36; 6:27, 40, 47, 54, 68; 10:28; 12:25, 50; 17:2–3; 1 John 1:2; 2:25; 3:15; 5:11, 13, 20)

      “and ( ) He /does/ not come (into judgement)” (cf. John 3:18),

      “but has passed/crossed⁴²⁷ over from … death” (cf. 8:51) “in the/to life” (vv. 24d, e, 26a, b, 29a, 39c, 40b). In other words: To hear Jesus, God’s SON, means to believe in God the FATHER who is the giver of eternal life after our death on earth.

      v. 25: The introductory statement (cf. vv. 19a, 24a) also introduces a new soteriological/“presentical-eschatological”⁴²⁸ promise: “(/An/ hour⁴²⁹) comes ( )” (note the present tense in vv. 25a, 28b), “and now is” (cf. 4:23) here,

      “when the dead will hear the voice⁴³⁰ of ‘the Son of God’” – note the messianic title in Greek “ho huɩòs toũ theoũ” in v. 25c and in John 1:34, 49; 3:18; 10:36; 11:4, 27; 19:7; 20:31; 1 John 3:8; 4:15; 5:5, 10, 12–13, 20 –

      “and those who hear will live⁴³¹”.

      v. 26: “(For) as ( ) the FATHER” (vv. 21a, 26a) “has life in Himself” (v. 26a, c)

      “so [ ] { } He has given” (vv. 22b, 26b, 27a, 36b) “the SON} [also]

      /to have/ life / / in Himself” (cf. John 1:4–5; 14:6; 1 John 1:2).

      v. 27: “And (He has given Him) authority⁴³² ( )

      (to do)”/execute “judgement ( )” (vv. 22b, 24c₂, 27b, 29c, 30c – cf., for example, Matthew 25:31–46; Acts 10:42)

      “because [/He/ is] /the/ ‘Son of Man’ [ ]” – note the messianic title in Greek “ho huɩòs (toũ) ánthropoũ” in John 1:51; 3:13–14; 6:27, 53, 62; 8:28; 9:35; 12:23, 34; 13:31 and Daniel 7:13–14.

      v. 28: Do “not be amazed/marvel” (vv. 20d, 28a) “/at/ this,

      that ( ) /the/ hour (comes)” (vv. 25a, 28b, 35b and John 2:4; 4:21, 23; 7:30; 8:20; 13:1; 16:[2, 4,] 21, 25, СКАЧАТЬ
