Footnotes

  1. 91 Or “this.” The Greek pronoun can mean either “this one” or “this” ( οὖτος 1).
  2. 92 There is irony in the Samaritans’ declaration that Jesus was really the Savior of the world, an irony foreshadowed in the prologue to the Fourth Gospel (1:11): “He came to his own, and his own did not receive him.” Yet the Samaritans welcomed Jesus and proclaimed him to be not the Jewish Messiah only, but the Savior of the world.
