João 20
(John Commentaries) Charts from Jensen's Survey of the NT - used by permission Another Chart from Charles Swindoll John 20:1 Now on the first day of the week Mary Magdalene *came early to the tomb, while it *was still dark, and *saw the stone already taken away from the tomb. Now on the first day: John 20:19,26 Ac 20:7 1Co 16:2 Rev 1:10 Mary Magdalene *came early: Mary Magdalene, as well as Peter, was evidently at the sepulchre twice on that morning of the resurrection. The first time of her going was some short time before her companions, the other Mary and Salome (Mt 28:1); and observing that the stone had been removed, she returned to inform Peter and John. In the meantime, the other Mary and Salome came to the sepulchre, and saw the angel, as recorded by Matthew and Mark. While these women returned to the city, Peter and John went to the sepulchre, passing them at some distance, or going another way, followed by Mary Magdalene, who stayed after their return. This was her second journey; when she saw two angels, and then Jesus himself, as here related; and immediately after Jesus appeared to the other women, as they returned to the city. (Mt 28:9, 10) In the meantime Joanna and her company arrived at the sepulchre, when two angels appeared to them, and addressed them as the one angel had done the other women, (Lu 24:1-10.) They immediately returned to the city, and by some means found the apostles before the others arrived, and informed them of what they had seen; upon which Peter went a second time to the sepulchre, but saw only the linen clothes lying. (Lu 24:12.) Mt 28:1-10 Mk 16:1,2,9 Lu 24:1-10 the stone: Mt 27:60,64-66 Mt 28:2 Mk 15:46 Mk 16:3,4 Alfred Edersheim - ON THE RESURRECTION OF CHRIST FROM THE DEAD Alfred Edersheim - ‘ON THE THIRD DAY HE ROSE AGAIN FROM THE DEAD; HE ASCENDED INTO HEAVEN.’ Related Passages: John 19:25+ Therefore the soldiers did these things. But standing by the cross of Jesus were His mother, and His mother’s sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene. Luke 8:2+ and also some women who had been healed of evil spirits and sicknesses: Mary who was called Magdalene, from whom seven demons had gone out, THE FIRST DAY IS ALSO THE "THIRD DAY" RIDDLE: How could the first day be the third day? Now on the first day of the week - Yes, it was the first day, but just as significant is the truth that it was the third day after the crucifixion, fulfilling Jesus' prophecy (cf Mt 16:21, Mt 17:23, Mt 20:19, Lk 9:22, Lk 13:32, Lk 18:33, Lk 24:7, Lk 24:46). Early on Sunday morning, Resurrection Day, First Fruits (much better title than "Easter"). The Sabbath lasted from 6 PM Friday to 6 PM Saturday and the first day is the third day Jesus had predicted, the day He would rise from the dead. As love brought her to the cross, now love draws her to the grave -- Brian Bell Mary Magdalene came early (proi) to the tomb (mnemeion), while it was still dark (skotia), and saw (blepo) the stone (lithos) already taken away (airo) from the tomb (mnemeion) - See comparison of the 4 Gospel accounts. Mary Magdalene was one of the women at the foot of Jesus' cross (Jn 19:25+ ) Mary actually discovered three unusual things on this monumental morning - (1) Seal broken, (2) Stone removed – “away from the entrance” (The stone was moved so people could see in, not to let Jesus out!) and (3) Soldiers went AWOL. To Mary these led her to believe Jesus’ tomb had been violated, so she jumped to conclusions and ran. Bob
João 20:30
John 20:30 Therefore many other signs Jesus also performed in the presence of the disciples, which are not written in this book: men oun polla alla semeia ho Iesous kai epoiesen (3SAAI) enopion to matheton ha estin (3SPAI) ouk gegrammena (RPPI) en touto ho biblio: (NASB: Lockman) many other: Mt 1:17. Jn 21:25. Lk 1:3, 4. Lk 3:18. Ro 15:4. 1Co 10:11. 2 Ti 3:15-17. 2Pe 3:1, 2. 1Jn 1:3, 4. signs: John 2:11, 23 in the presence: Acts 10:41 this book: Acts 1:20 In the four Gospels Jesus performed 35 miracles and John has only recorded 7 (or 8) of miracles. Therefore - This is a term of conclusion and begs the question of what is John concluding? In this context while it is a conclusion, it is also in a sense an explanation. Recall Thomas' declaration of faith in Jn 20:28 - "Thomas answered and said to Him, “My Lord and my God!”" Jesus responded by declaring "to him, "Because you have seen Me, have you believed? Blessed are they who did not see, and yet believed." (Jn 20:29) So John concludes (and explains) in Jn 20:30-31 how it is possible that one could not see Jesus in person and yet still believe in Him. And of course the answer is by reading the written record of His ministry, especially the seven signs John recorded in John 1-12. For one who really wants to know Jesus, these signs are more than sufficient for the Holy Spirit to reveal Him to our heart and mind. Rich Cathers - Scholars have concluded that the gospels only record about 50 days of Jesus’ ministry in all the combined gospels. Yet Jesus’ total ministry of 3 ½ years comes to about 1080 days. That means that we only have record of 4.6% percent of Jesus’ ministry. Imagine the teaching, conversations, and ministry we’ve never heard about.
João 20:31
John 20:31 but these have been written so that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing you may have life in His name. Greek - tauta de gegraptai (3SRPI) hina pisteuete(2SAAS) (or 2SPAS = pisteusete) hoti Iesous estin (3SPAI) ho` Christos ho` huios tous theou kai hina pisteuontes (2PPAP) zoen echte (2PPAS) en to onomati autou (NASB: Lockman) these: John 20:28 Jn 1:49 Jn 6:69,70 Jn 9:35-38 Ps 2:7,12 Mt 16:16 Mt 27:54 Lu 1:4 Ac 8:37 Acts 9:20 Ro 1:3,4 1Jn 4:15 1Jn 5:1,10,20 2Jn 1:9 Rev 2:18 believing: John 3:15,16,18,36 Jn 5:24,39,40 Jn 6:40 Jn 10:10 Mk 16:16 1Pe 1:9 1Jn 2:23-25 1Jn 5:10-13 in His name: Lu 24:47 Acts 3:16 Acts 10:43 Acts 13:38,39 JOHN'S CLEAR PURPOSE FOR THIS GOSPEL NIV But these are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name. NAB But these are written that you may (come to) believe that Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of God, and that through this belief you may have life in his name. Technical Note - Some manuscripts have the aorist tense for the first pisteuo (NAS, ESV, NET, NIV) but other manuscripts have the present tense. The aorist tense would read "that you may come to believe" which would speak of coming to faith for the first time. The present tense could be paraphrased "that you may continue believing" and would suggest it was "primarily addressed to those who already believed and was intended to strengthen their faith" (See detailed note - scroll down to verse 31 and select note 61 - NET Note) A. T. Robertson calls the Gospel according to John the "most wonderful of all books." Context: In the preceding verse John wrote "Therefore many other signs Jesus also performed in the presence of the disciples, which are not written in this book but these have been written so that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing you may have life in His name." Dear reader, what is the most important question every man ever born needs to ask and answer? The question was the one Jesus addressed to His disciples - "But Who do you say that I am?" Peter gave the only correct answer "You are the Christ (the Messiah), the Son of the Living God." (Mt 16:15-16). Steven
