Welcome to part two with Dr. Eric Huntsman, John chapter one.

If we can share screen here, I would show you how I lay this out in Greek.

This Johanna and Scarlett mentioned Raymond Brown, the late father Brown.

He made an argument back in the 70s, which I've really embraced, which is

a lot of times things about Jesus or the discourses, the words of Jesus himself

and the gospel, John, are either poetic or semi-poetic.

In English, I've laid it out in the appendix of my little book on becoming the

beloved disciple, but I've also done it in Greek and other contexts.

Whenever the first 18 verses of John I are talking about Jesus, it's poetic.

But when it's ever talking about the witness that God sends to bear witness of the light,

it's prose.

So we have this very poetic beginning.

In the beginning was the word and the word is with God and the word was God.

Those of you who are doing the songs with me, see the parallelism there.

If that same was the beginning with God, often is remade by him, without

him as nothing made.

In him was life.

Life was the light of men.

The light, shine, it's an darkness.

The darkness, comprehend it, but not.

But then also in the verses 68, it becomes very prosaic.

Our body order is a man sent from God.
