Footnotes
| 29 | The idea of seeing in the NT is perceiving or discerning , not merely looking, and follows the Hebrew pattern of conceptually “unconcealing” or “uncovering” something, hence the accusative object that follows. |
| 30 | only-kind Theos. Adjective + nominative noun. Meaning God/Theos himself is described as an only-kind. |
| 31 | Strong’s #2859, kolpos. Bosom, chest. Being something that expresses intimacy, and that one “whom Jesus loved” reclined at the table in [en #G1722] the bosom of Jesus (John 13:23), it seems pretty clear that this is an allusion to the symbolic rib which is part of the chest, and hence the following line, “she is the testimony”. |
| 32 | Strong’s #G1834, exégeomai. To show the way. “Eksēgéomai (from /ek, ‘completely out of from’ intensifying /hēgéomai, ‘to lead by showing priority’) – properly, lead out completely (thoroughly bring forth), i.e. explain (narrate) in a way that clarifies what is uppermost (has priority). (eksēgéomai) is the root of the English terms, ‘exegesis, exegete.’” - Helps Word Studies |
