NET © Notes |
1 tn Or “into the world; again.” Here πάλιν (palin) functions as a marker of contrast, with the implication of a sequence. 2 sn The statement I am leaving the world and going to the Father is a summary of the entire Gospel of John. It summarizes the earthly career of the Word made flesh, Jesus of Nazareth, on his mission from the Father to be the Savior of the world, beginning with his entry into the world as he came forth from God and concluding with his departure from the world as he returned to the Father. |
