gospel of John review, RSV: chapter 17-21

John.17

John 16.

[32] The hour is coming, indeed it has come, when you will be scattered, every man to his home, and ( )2 will leave me alone; / yet I am not alone, for the Father is with me.

[33] I have said this to you, that in me you2 may have peace. / In the world you have tribulation; / but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world."

[1] When Jesus had spoken these words, he lifted up his eyes to heaven and ( )2 said, "Father, the hour has come; / glorify thy Son that the Son may glorify2 thee,
[2] since thou2 hast given him power over all flesh, to give eternal life to all whom thou3 hast given him2.

3 ‘in ‘Father’

('thou hast given him')2 2-3

he from earth and ( he )2 and 'heaven

[3] And this is eternal life, that they know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom thou2 hast sent.

I I 3 'thee-'thou' in Father
I I 'the Son' - 'thy Son'- 'the Son'
[ ] [ ] 2 in 'the only true God' and in 'Jesus Christ'

[4] I glorified thee on earth, having accomplished the work which thou2 gavest me to do;

[5] / and now, Father, glorify thou me in thy own presence with the glory which I had with thee2 before the world was made.

v 4: ('I' from heaven glorified 'Father' on earth, accomplishing 'the work' 'Father' gave 'me' (gathering 2 on earth in 3rd)
v 5: and now, 'Father' glorify 'you' 'me' in your presence in heaven with the glory 'I'/'me' had in heaven with 'you2' 'before the world was made')

<-----------------

[6] "I have manifested thy name to the men whom thou gavest me out of the world; / thine they were, and thou gavest them2 to me, and they3 have kept thy word.
v 6a: 'I' from heaven to earth have manifested your name (Father's) to the 'men' (humans) 'you' gave 'me' as 2 from out of the world on earth.
v 6b: yours ('Father') they were, and you gavest the 2 groups to me (2nd and 1st) and they (including the 3rd) have kept your word. 2-3 [ 'and' ]

[7] Now they know that everything that thou hast given me is from thee2;
[8] / for I have given them the words which thou gavest me, and they2 have received them and ( )3 know in truth that I2 came from thee2; / and they have believed that thou didst send me.

'I' 'I2': earth and heavens : that I2 came from thee (from heaven)

Gen 19.24

v 8a: 2-3 together; 3rd ( I2) came from heaven

[9] I am praying for them; / I am not praying for the world but for those whom thou hast given me, for they2 are thine;

[10] / all mine are thine, and thine2 are mine2, and I am glorified in them.

re v 10: John 10.

[27] My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they2 follow me;

[28] / and I give them eternal life, and they2 shall never perish, and no one shall snatch them3 out of my hand.

(question re: 3rd or as 2 in 1?)

[29] My Father, ( ) who has given them to me, is greater than all, and no one is able to snatch them2 out of the Father's hand.

John 5.

[21] For as the Father raises the dead and ( ) gives them life, so also the Son gives life2 to whom he2 will.

[ first and second fragment together ]

[ 1 + 2 ]

[11] And now I am no more in the world, but they are in the world2, and I am2 coming to thee. / Holy Father, keep them in thy name2, which thou hast given me, that they2 may be one, even as we are one.
'now': the 'I am' in the act of 'coming to' the 'Holy Father': 'now I am no more in the world'
'keep them in thy name' ('Holy Father': ''Father', 'Father' v 1, 5, 'Holy Father' v 11)

[12] While I was with them, I2 kept them2 in thy name3, which thou hast given me; / I have guarded them, and none of them2 is lost but the son of perdition, that the scripture might be fulfilled.

[13] But now I am coming to thee; / and these things I speak in the world, that they1 may have my joy fulfilled in themselves.

does this read that they as one may have (Jesus-Lord's) joy fulfilled in themselves as separate as well? 1-2-3

Gen 12.

[3] I will bless those who bless2 you, and him who curses you2 I2 will curse; / and by you all the families of the earth shall bless themselves."

(dominion without curse)

[14] I have given them thy word; / and the world has hated them because they2 are not of the world2, even as I am not of the world3.

[15] I do not pray that thou shouldst take them out of the world, but that thou2 shouldst keep them2 from the evil one.

[16] They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world2.

'thou hast given me', RSV:

John.18

[1] When Jesus had spoken these words, he went forth with his disciples across the Kidron valley, where there was a garden, which he2 and his disciples2 entered.

Kidron (abarim):
The verb קדר (qadar) means to be or become dark, gloomy or dirty. Noun קדרות (qadrut) means darkness. Adverb קדר (qedorannit) describes mourners.

a "garden" across the Kidron valley

[2] Now Judas, ( ) who betrayed him2, also knew the place; / for Jesus often met there with his disciples.
Jesus met there with 'his disciples' were of 2 in 1? v 1, v 2b

'a garden' v 1 as 'the place'

[3] So Judas, procuring a band of soldiers and some officers from the chief priests and the Pharisees, went there with lanterns and torches and weapons.3
3 items to destroy the idea of 3

[4] Then Jesus, knowing all that was to befall him, came forward and ( )2 said to them, "Whom do you seek?”

'came forward' : consider 'came forth' in Esau, Jacob and Jesus J 8.42 in ( I2 )

John 20.

[15] Jesus said to her, "Woman, why are you weeping? Whom do you seek?"

[5] They answered him, "Jesus of Nazareth.” / Jesus said to them, "I am he.” / Judas, ( ) who betrayed him2, was standing with them.

'Judas, ( ) who betrayed him2’ v 2; 'Judas' v 3; 'Judas, ( ) who betrayed him2' v 5

Judas betrayed the 2 in 'him'

from v 3: 'a band of soldiers and some officers from the chief priests and the Pharisees' (Judas)

[6] When he said to them, "I am he2," they2 drew back and ( )3 fell to the ground.

<———————————————

some uses of 'ground' in the book of Genesis, RSV:

Genesis 2.

[7] then the LORD God formed man of dust from the ground, and ( ) breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; / and man became a living being.

('man'/'man': separation) (and in the midst ( ) 2nd) (Jesus: 'the breath of life' as center)

(one man ( ) breath 2nd = man and man as living ) \/:

[7] then the LORD God formed man of dust from the ground, and ( ) breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and man2 became a living being.

Genesis 4.

[10] And the LORD said, "What have you done? / The voice of your brother's blood is crying to me from the ground.

('you' / 'the voice of your brother': call) (to 'me': re: 2)

Genesis 33.

[3] He himself went on before them, bowing himself to the ground seven times, until he2 came near to his brother.

('he', 'he came near his brother') (Esau and Jacob: potential reconciliation after first naming: 'Jacob' to 'Israel') 8th?

[4]
But Esau ran to meet him, and ( ) embraced him2, and ( )2 fell on his neck and ( )3 kissed him3, and they wept.
(the text reads for ( ) as Esau: but in reconciliation could ( ) be Jacob just named 'Israel'? a mutuality in the 'LORD'?:

(not a reversal of favor but mutuality and reconciliation)

Genesis 37.

[10] But when he told it to his father and to his brothers 1-2, his father2 rebuked him2, and ( ) said to him,3 "What is this dream that you have dreamed? / Shall I and your mother and your brothers indeed come to bow ourselves to the ground before you?" ('his father'2 'Israel' to 'Joseph') ('his father'__'his father'__( ))

3 in Joseph

[ his brothers do bow to the ground to Joseph G 43.26 but absent of of 'I' 'Israel' (v 3) and 'mother' 'Rachel' ]

interesting: Joseph: [29] And he lifted up his eyes, and ( )2 saw his brother Benjamin, his mother's son, and ( )3 said, "Is this your youngest brother, of whom you spoke to me? / God be gracious to you, my son!"
other 'ground' in the book of Genesis, RSV.

[7] Again he asked them, "Whom do you seek?2” / And they said, "Jesus of Nazareth2.”

note: incomplete 'gospel of the Hebrews'; a proposed book of the Nazarenes.

word 'Hebrew' in the book of Genesis, RSV refers to 'Abram' (14.13) and 'Joseph' (39.14, 17), (40.15), (41.12), and in the feast of first and second born, 'Hebrews and Egyptians' (43.32)

from notes on the gospel of the Hebrews: http://www.earlychristianwritings.com/text/gospelhebrews-mrjames.html

gospel proposed to have been written in the late first century to the mid second: this is a mention: the gospel of Hebrews was a post-Jesus gospel associated with the Nazarenes: the gospel of John was completed around 90-110 AD

'Jerome. He is our principal authority in this matter.

On Ephesians, v. 4. As also we read in the Hebrew Gospel: 'And never, saith he, be ye joyful, save when ye behold your brother with love.'

'On Isa. xi. 9, My mother the Holy Spirit.'

Latin version of Origen on Matthew (now called Pseudo-Origen):

'And the Lord said unto him: How sayest thou: I have kept the law and the prophets? For it is written in the law: Though shalt love thy neighbor as thyself, and lo, many of thy brethren, sons of Abraham, are clad in filth, dying for hunger, and thine house is full of many good things, and nought at all goeth out of it unto them.'

[8] Jesus answered ( ), "I told you that I am he; / so, if you seek me, let these men go.”

[11] Jesus said to Peter, "Put your sword into its sheath; / shall I not drink the cup which the Father has given me?”

the cup made Benjamin a 'slave' to Joseph (Gen 44.17) ('Am I in the place of God?, G 50.19) whom he calls 'my son' (Gen 43.29):

Benoni / Benjamin : 'son of sorrow' (named by Rachel) / 'son of the right hand' (named by father Jacob)

re 'Benoni' (abarim):

בן

The noun בן (ben) means son, or more general: a member of one particular social or economic node — called a "house", which is built upon the instructions of one אב ('ab), or "father" — within in a larger economy. This noun obviously resembles the verb בנה (bana), to build, and the noun אבן ('eben), stone.
Meaning
Son Of My Strength, Son Of My Sorrows, Son Out Of Egypt
Etymology
From (1) the noun בן (ben), son, and (2) the noun און ('wn), either trouble or vigor.

Benjamin (abarim)
From (1) the noun בן (ben), son, and (2) the noun ימין (yamin), right hand.

[12] So the band of soldiers and their captain and the officers of the Jews seized Jesus and ( ) bound him.

section re: ‘Annas (father-in-law); Caiaphas; and Pilate

[13] First they led him to Annas; / for he was the father-in-law of Ca'iaphas, who was high priest that year.

The father-in-law significance: first went to the ‘father-in-law’ (‘of high priest')

v 12: group of 3: ('the band of soldiers and their captain and the officers of the Jews') 'seized' Jesus and ( ) bound 'him', / v 13: first 'they led him' to (father-in-law)

/ [24] Annas then sent him bound to Ca'iaphas the high priest. (son-in-law)

John 11.[49] But one of them, Ca'iaphas, who was high priest that year, said to them2, "You know nothing at all;

[50] / you do not understand that it is expedient for you2 that one man should die for the people, and that the whole nation should not perish."

[ 'one of them1' (of the first) said to that same group as separate ]

[14] It was Ca'iaphas who had given counsel to the Jews that it2 was expedient that one man should die for the people.

past

[15] Simon Peter followed Jesus, and so did another disciple. / As this disciple was known to the high priest, he entered the court of the high priest along with Jesus,
[16] while Peter stood outside at the door. / So the other disciple, ( ) who was known to the high priest2, went out and ( )2 spoke to the maid who kept the door, and ( ) brought Peter in.

v 16d: ( ): 'he' or 'they'? ('other disciple and the maid who kept the door)

'this disciple' and 'the other disciple' same or as 2?

'the maid who kept the door' and the 'gatekeeper' in:

John 10:

[3] To him the gatekeeper opens; / the sheep hear his voice, and he calls his own sheep by name and ( )2 leads them out.

('Hagar' is referred to as 'maid' 7x in the book of Genesis, RSV)

[17] The maid who kept the door2 said to Peter, "Are not you also one of this man's disciples?"/ He said, "I am not.”1

v 16: 'this disciple'

only other use of 'this disciple' in the gospel of John, RSV:

John 21.[23] The saying spread abroad among the brethren that this disciple was not to die; / yet Jesus did not say to him that he2 was not to die, but, "If it is my will that he3 remain until I come, what is that to you?" ('this disciple known to the high priest' = BD)

'this man' in the gospel of John, RSV:

John 3. '

Nicodemus': 'teacher of Israel'

[2] This man came to Jesus by night and ( ) said to him2, "Rabbi, we know that you are a teacher come from God; / for no one can do these signs that you do, unless God is with him."
(Jesus): John 6.52, 7.15, 27, 31, 35, 36, 9.16, 24, 29, 33, 10.41, (11)
'Born blind man': John 9.2, 3 (2)

[37] But some of them said, "Could not he who opened the eyes of the blind man have kept this man from dying?"
Lazarus
(Jesus) John 11.37, 18.29, 30, 40, 19.12, 21 (6)
beloved disciple: John 21.21: [21] When Peter saw him, he2 said to Jesus, "Lord, what about this man?"

[18] Now the servants and officers had made a charcoal fire, because it was cold, and they were standing and warming themselves; / Peter also was with them, standing and warming himself.
'Peter' with 'the servants and officers' and 'charcoal fire'

[19] The high priest then questioned Jesus about his disciples and his teaching.

Annas, 'father-in-law to the high priest': (the high priest to the high priest)

[20] Jesus answered him, "I have spoken openly to the world; / I have always taught in synagogues and in the temple, where all Jews come together; / I have said nothing secretly.

[21] Why do you ask me? / Ask those who have heard me, what I said to them; / they know what I said2.”

John 12.

[49] For I have not spoken on my own authority; / the Father who sent me has himself given me commandment what to say and what to speak.
[50] And I know that his commandment is eternal life. / What I say, therefore, I say2 as the Father has bidden me."

[22] When he had said this, one of the officers standing by struck Jesus with his hand, saying, "Is that how you answer the high priest?”

v 22: 'he had said'------'I said' v 21b 'me'

------'I said' v 21c

'his hand': negating all potentialities of 'hand': 'heel to the hand', 'accept this present from my hand', 'son of the right hand', 'right hand' of the LORD 'heaven'

[23] Jesus answered him, "If I have spoken wrongly, bear witness to the wrong; / but if I have spoken rightly, why do you strike me?”
singular 'you' striking the 2 in 'me'

[24] Annas then sent him bound to Ca'iaphas the high priest.

Simon Peter was separated from 'the servants and officers'

denial 1: 'Peter' to the 'maid who kept the door'

denial 2 here: 'Simon Peter' ? (re: 'one')?

denial 3: 'Peter' 'in the garden with (Jesus)'

[26] One of the servants of the high priest, a kinsman of the man whose ear Peter had cut off, asked ( ), "Did I not see you in the garden with him2?”

'ear' and hearing

[10] Then Simon Peter, having a sword, drew it and ( ) struck the high priest's slave and ( )2 cut off his right ear. / The slave's name was Malchus.

[11] Jesus said to Peter, "Put your sword into its sheath; / shall I not drink the cup which the Father has given me?”

[10] Pilate therefore said to him, "You will not speak to me? / Do you not know that I have power to release you2, and power to crucify you3?”

[11] Jesus answered him, "You would have no power over me unless it had been given you2 from above;/ therefore he who delivered me to you has the greater sin.”

[12] Upon this Pilate sought to release him, but the Jews cried out, "If you release this man, you2 are not Caesar's friend; / every one who makes himself a king sets himself2 against Caesar."

[13] When Pilate heard these words, he brought Jesus out and ( )2 sat down on the judgment seat at a place called The Pavement, and in Hebrew, Gab'batha.

[14] Now it was the day of Preparation of the Passover; / it was about the sixth hour. / He said to the Jews, "Behold your King!”

from abarim on 'Benjamin': '

This noun obviously resembles the verb בנה (bana), to build, and the noun אבן ('eben), stone.' 'Cephas' generally translated to 'rock', could also be 'stone':

'This name derives from Latin "petra" (Petrus), from the Ancient Greek “pétrā ‎(πέτρᾱ) Pétros (Πέτρος)”, from the Aramaic word “kephas”, which in turn from the Syriac “kefa”, all words meaning “stone, rock” (figurative meaning: solid, strong and resolute).' https://www.name-doctor.com/name-cephas-meaning-of-cephas-45346.html
