Footnotes
- 86 John refers to John the Baptist.
- 87 “There” is not in the Greek text but is implied by current English idiom.
- 88 This section (1:35–51) is joined to the preceding by the literary expedient of repeating the Baptist’s testimony about Jesus being the Lamb of God (1:36, cf. 1:29). This repeated testimony (1:36) no longer has revelatory value in itself, since it has been given before; its purpose, instead, is to institute a chain reaction which will bring John the Baptist’s disciples to Jesus and make them Jesus’ own disciples.
- 89 Grk “his”; the referent (John) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
- 90 Grk “And the two disciples heard him speaking.”
- 91 The expression followed Jesus pictures discipleship, which means that to learn from Jesus is to follow him as the guiding priority of one’s life.
