Abstract

The so-called final discourse of Jesus in the Fourth Gospel is regarded by the majority of scholars as opening with Jesus’ solemn statements on glory and glorification in 13,31-32. Closer investigation questions this. John 13,31-38 is not discourse, but a narrative peopled with characters. Looking at the macrostructure of 13,1–17,26, there are close links between 13,1-5 and 17,1-4 (ἡ ὥρα, τὸ τέλος), and parallels between 13,1-5 and 17,24-26 (ἡ ἀγάπη) and between 13,31-38 and 17,1-4 (δόξα). But the theme of love also links 13,1-5 with 13,31-38, as the theme of glory links 17,1-4 with 17,24-26. At the centre of this macrostructure (15,12-17) the command to love is again dominant (vv. 12-13, 17). Turning to the micro-structure of 13,31-38, on the basis of the Johannine use of the double 'amen', a good case can be made for a tripartite structure of 13,1-17.18-20, and 21-38, with close parallels between vv. 1-17 and 21-38. The action and the characters in 13,31-38 look back to vv. 1-21 (Judas, Peter, gift of example/gift of new commandment, later understanding, failure and misunderstanding). While there is much in the narrative of 13,1-38 that prepares for the discourse of 14,1–16,33, these characters and themes to not appear there. This also suggests the literary unity of 13,1-38.

约翰福音13章1-38节的文字统一性

在第四卷福音书中所谓的耶稣最后的话语被大多数学者认为是以13章31到32节耶稣关于荣耀和荣耀的庄严陈述开始的。更深入的调查质疑了这一点。约翰福音13章31到38节不是话语，而是充满人物的叙述。观察13,1- 17,26的宏观结构，可以发现13,1-5和17,1-4 (ν ν ρα， τ ν τ ος)之间有密切的联系，13,1-5和17,24-26 (ν ν γ πη)之间有相似之处，13,31-38和17,1-4 (δ ο ξα)之间有相似之处。但爱的主题也将13,1-5与13,31-38联系起来，正如荣耀的主题将17,1-4与17,24-26联系起来一样。在这个宏观结构的中心(15,12-17)，爱的命令再次占主导地位(vv。12 - 13日,17)。在约翰使用两个“阿门”的基础上，转到13,31-38的微观结构，一个很好的例子是13,1-17.18-20和21-38的三方结构，与vv和vv之间有密切的相似之处。1-17和21-38。13,31-38中的动作和人物回顾了v. v.。1-21(犹大，彼得，榜样的恩赐/新诫命的恩赐，后来的理解，失败和误解)。虽然在13,1-38章的叙述中有很多为14,1 - 16,33章的论述做准备，但这些人物和主题并没有出现在那里。这也暗示了13,1-38的文学统一性。
