7 JOHN 3: LAYOUT 2 Jerusalem Story: 2:23-3:1 Dialogue: 3:2-12 Judea Story: 3:22-26a Dialogue: 3:26b-30 Monologue: 3:13-21 Monologue: 3:31-26
8 LAYOUT OF JOHN 3 John 2:23 Now while Jesus was in Jerusalem at the feast of the Passover, many people believed in his name because they saw the miraculous signs he was doing. 24 But Jesus would not entrust himself to them, because he knew all people. 25 He did not need anyone to testify about man, for he knew what was in man. John 3:22 After this, Jesus and his disciples came into Judean territory, and there he spent time with them and was baptising. 23 John was also baptising at Aenon near Salim, because water was plentiful there, and people were coming to him and being baptised. 24 (For John had not yet been thrown into prison.)
9 LAYOUT OF JOHN 3 John 3:1 Now a certain man, a Pharisee named Nicodemus, who was a member of the Jewish ruling council, John 3:2 came to Jesus at night and said to him, Rabbi, we know that you are a teacher who has come from God. For no one could perform the miraculous signs that you do unless God is with him. 3 Jesus replied, I tell you the solemn truth, unless a person is born from above, he cannot see the kingdom of God. John 3:25 Now a dispute came about between some of John s disciples and a certain Jew concerning ceremonial washing. 26 So they came to John and said to him, Rabbi, the one who was with you on the other side of the Jordan River, about whom you testified see, he is baptising, and everyone is flocking to him! 27 John replied, No one can receive anything unless it has been given to him from heaven.
10 LAYOUT OF JOHN 3 John 3:13 No one has ascended into heaven except the one who descended from heaven the Son of Man. 14 Just as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, so must the Son of Man be lifted up, 15 so that everyone who believes in him may have eternal life. John 3:16 For this is the way God loved the world: He gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life. 17 For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world should be saved through him. John 3:31 The one who comes from above is superior to all. The one who is from the earth belongs to the earth and speaks about earthly things. The one who comes from heaven is superior to all. 32 He testifies about what he has seen and heard, but no one accepts his testimony. 33 The one who has accepted his testimony has confirmed clearly that God is truthful. 34 For the one whom God has sent speaks the words of God, for he does not give the Spirit sparingly. 35 The Father loves the Son and has placed all things under his authority. 36 The one who believes in the Son has eternal life. The one who rejects the Son will not see life, but God s wrath remains on him.
11 NICODEMUS? John 3:1 Now a certain man, a Pharisee named Nicodemus, who was a member of the Jewish ruling council, John 3:4 Nicodemus said to him, How can a man be born when he is old? He cannot enter his mother s womb and be born a second time, can he? John 3:9 Nicodemus replied, How can these things be? John 7:50 Nicodemus, who had gone to Jesus before and who was one of the rulers, said, John 19:39 Nicodemus, the man who had previously come to Jesus at night, accompanied Joseph, carrying a mixture of myrrh and aloes weighing about seventy-five pounds.
12 SYNOPTIC LINKS? John 3:2 came to Jesus at night and said to him, Rabbi, we know that you are a teacher who has come from God. For no one could perform the miraculous signs that you do unless God is with him. Mark 12:14 When they came they said to him, Teacher, we know that you are truthful and do not court anyone s favour, because you show no partiality but teach the way of God in accordance with the truth. Is it right to pay taxes to Caesar or not? Should we pay or shouldn t we?
13 SYNOPTIC LINKS John 3:3 Jesus replied, I tell you the solemn truth, unless a person is born from above, he cannot see the kingdom of God. John 3:5 Jesus answered, I tell you the solemn truth, unless a person is born of water and spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God. Mark 10:15 I tell you the truth, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God like a child will never enter it. Some characteristic tics in John: the address of the double amen, from above, water and spirit. But the key theme of the Kingdom of God is central to both. This shows us the conservative innovations of John the Evangelist.
14 COMMENTARY John 3:1 Now a certain man, a Pharisee named Nicodemus, who was a member of the Jewish ruling council, 2 came to Jesus at night and said to him, Rabbi, we know that you are a teacher who has come from God. For no one could perform the miraculous signs that you do unless God is with him. Unusual to get a name Council = anticipation of chapter 7 At night! Rabbi: not negative in this Gospel but confined to the first 11 chapters (John 1:38, 49; 3:2, 26; 4:31; 6:25; 9:2; 11:8) Signs: When a finger points toe the moon, the imbecile looks at the finger (Chinese proverb)
15 COMMENTARY John 3:3 Jesus replied, I tell you the solemn truth (=Amen, Amen), unless a person is born from above, he cannot see the kingdom of God. Amen, Amen From above (anōthen): see next slide Kingdom of God (see the visuals)
16 COMMENTARY John 3:3 Jesus replied, I tell you the solemn truth (=Amen, Amen), unless a person is born from above, he cannot see the kingdom of God. Amen, Amen From above (anōthen): see next slide Kingdom of God (see the visuals)
17 COMMENTARY John 3:3 Jesus replied, I tell you the solemn truth (=Amen, Amen), unless a person is born from above, he cannot see the kingdom of God. Amen, Amen From above (anōthen): see next slide Kingdom of God (see the visuals)
18 COMMENTARY John 3:3 Jesus replied, I tell you the solemn truth (=Amen, Amen), unless a person is born from above, he cannot see the kingdom of God. Amen, Amen From above (anōthen): see next slide Kingdom of God (see the visuals)
19 COMMENTARY John 3:3 Jesus replied, I tell you the solemn truth (=Amen, Amen), unless a person is born from above, he cannot see the kingdom of God. Amen, Amen From above (anōthen): see next slide Kingdom of God (see the visuals)
20 FROM ABOVE OR AGAIN / ANÓTHEN John 3:3 Jesus replied, I tell you the solemn truth, unless a person is born from above (anōthen), he cannot see the kingdom of God. John 3:7 Do not be amazed that I said to you, You must all be born from above. (anōthen) John 3:31 The one who comes from above (anōthen) is superior to all. The one who is from the earth belongs to the earth and speaks about earthly things. The one who comes from heaven is superior to all. John 19:11 Jesus replied, You would have no authority over me at all, unless it was given to you from above (anōthen). Therefore the one who handed me over to you is guilty of greater sin. John 19:23 Now when the soldiers crucified Jesus, they took his clothes and made four shares, one for each soldier, and the tunic remained. (Now the tunic was seamless, woven from top [anōthen] to bottom as a single piece.)
21 COMMENTARY John 3:4 Nicodemus said to him, How can a man be born when he is old? He cannot enter his mother s womb and be born a second time, can he? Johannine use of misunderstanding (cf. John 4 and 6) A second time makes it really clear If that is not the meaning, then what is the meaning?
22 COMMENTARY John 3:5 Jesus answered, I tell you the solemn truth, unless a person is born of water and spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God. 6 What is born of the flesh is flesh, and what is born of the Spirit is spirit. Ezek 36:25 And I will sprinkle clean water upon you, and you shall be cleansed from all your unclean acts and from all your idols, and I will cleanse you. 26 And I will give you a new heart, and a new spirit I will give in you, and I will remove the stone heart from your flesh and give you a heart of flesh. 27 And I will give my spirit in you and will act so that you walk in my statutes and keep my judgments and perform them. Amen, amen Spirit: = pneuma = wind, breath, spirit Jesus is forced to clarify, but he does so with a play on words Cf. Ezekiel 36:25-27 NB this comes in a context dealing with baptism and, even more significantly, before the encounter with the woman at the well
23 COMMENTARY John 3:7 Do not be amazed that I said to you, You must all be born from above. (anōthen) 8 The wind (pneuma) blows wherever it will, and you hear the sound it makes, but do not know where it comes from and where it is going. So it is with everyone who is born of the Spirit (pneuma). Eccl 11:5 Just as you do not know the path of the wind, or how the bones form in the womb of a pregnant woman, so you do not know the work of God who makes everything. This time, anōthen is explained Example from nature: the mystery of the wind/spirit/breath Cf. Ecclesiastes where both wind and maternity come up Cf. Jubilees 1:22-25 (next slide)
24 COMMENTARY Jubilees 1:22 And the LORD said to Moses, I know their contrariness and their thoughts and their stubbornness. And they will not obey until they acknowledge their sin and the sins of their fathers. 23 But after this they will return to me in all uprighteousness and with all of (their) heart and soul. And I shall cut off the foreskin of their heart and the foreskin of the heart of their descendants. And I shall create for them a holy spirit, and I shall purify them so that they will not turn away from following me from that day and forever. 24 And their souls will cleave to me and to all my commandments. And they will do my commandments. And I shall be a father to them, and they will be sons to me. 25 And they will all be called sons of the living God. And every angel and spirit will know and acknowledge that they are my sons and I am their father in uprightness and righteousness. And I shall love them.
25 COMMENTARY John 3:9 Nicodemus replied, How can these things be? 10 Jesus answered, Are you the teacher of Israel and yet you don t understand these things? Sir 16:20 But no human mind can grasp this, and who can comprehend his ways? 21 Like a tempest that no one can see, so most of his works are concealed. 22 Who is to announce his acts of justice? Or who can await them? For his decree is far off. Nicodemus is perplexed and simply does not get it Teacher of Israel: the full title The reproach is not simply to an individual but to all who misread the Scriptures Cf. Sirach 16:20-22
26 COMMENTARY John 3:11 I tell you the solemn truth, we speak about what we know and testify about what we have seen, but you people do not accept our testimony. 12 If I have told you people about earthly things and you don t believe, how will you believe if I tell you about heavenly things? NB switch to the plural Know, testify, see the typical catechetical language of the Johannine community V. 1: back to singular ( I ), but you is in the plural Argument from the lesser to the greater Rhetorical question
27 COMMENTARY John 3:13 No one has ascended into heaven except the one who descended from heaven the Son of Man. Ascent and descent in reverse order Ascend and descending: John 1:51; 3:13; 6:62; 20:17 Son of Man: Reference to identity, authority, crucifixion and resurrection (John 1:51; 3:13 14; 5:27; 6:27, 53, 62; 8:28; 9:35; 12:23, 34; 13:31) NB: Jacob is again in view. John 1:51 He continued, I tell all of you the solemn truth you will see heaven opened and the angels of God ascending and descending on the Son of Man. John 6:62 Then what if you see the Son of Man ascending where he was before? John 20:17 Jesus replied, Do not touch me, for I have not yet ascended to my Father. Go to my brothers and tell them, I am ascending to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.
28 COMMENTARY John 3:14 Just as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, so must the Son of Man be lifted up, 15 so that everyone who believes in him may have eternal life. John 12:32 And I, when I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all people to myself. NB just as Moses:Numbers 21:5 9 Lifted up: cross and resurrection; cf. John 12:32 A synonym for glorified Believe Eternal life: John 3:15 16, 36; 4:14, 36; 5:24, 39; 6:27, 40, 47, 54, 68; 10:28; 12:25, 50; 17:2 3 Eternal life is now, i.e. not postponed to the future last things
29 AND SO All of chapter 3 has a distinct structure and function Being born from above is linked to water (baptism) and the Spirit The whole scene prepares us for John 4 (water, Spirit, Jacob, eternal life, the spiritual quest) The particular story of Nicodemus is an incomplete, fractured quest to be profiled later in chapter 7 and completed implicitly in chapter 19
30 AND SO The teaching about birth from above (rather than again ) speaks to the deep desire more Rebirth is a mystery: links to the Prologue Word play (anōthen, pneuma) triggers deeper meaning Ezekiel, Jeremiah and Jubilees Jacob, Moses and Abraham (v. 16)
31 PRAYER O God, rich in mercy, you so loved the world that when we were dead in our sins, you sent your only Son for our deliverance. Lifted up from the earth, he is light and life; exalted upon the cross he is truth and salvation. Raise us up with Christ and make us rich in good works, that we may walk as children of light toward the paschal feast of heaven.
Now when he was in Jerusalem at the Passover Feast, many believed in his name when they saw the signs that he was doing. 24 But Jesus on his part did not entrust himself to them, because he knew all people
