Bible Study With The Bishops: Coda

Reading Plan Text for March 5: John 3:31-36.

It is unclear to me just who is speaking here. In my NRSV quotation marks enclose verses 27 through 30 (with the exception of John answered at the beginning of verse 27), which are part of a conversation John the Baptist is having with his disciples. Burridge says it could be either John the Baptist or Jesus speaking but that it ultimately doesn't matter. I agree with him.

These six verses form a conclusion to Chapter 3, if not to the first three chapters. There really isn't much new here that I'm seeing, but then it's been a long day, and I'm tired.

Peace,
Jeffri
