New Wine in Old Wineskins: Bursting Traditional Interpretations in John's Gospel (Part Two)

This article, begun in the preceding issue of BBR, offers disparate exegetical notes on passages in the Fourth Gospel. The present Part Two argues (1) that in John 9:4b the night when no one can work refers to the darkness of eternal damnation; (2) that in John 11:26a those who live, believe in Jesus, and will never die are the believers who have not died prior to the second coming; and (3) that in John 19:30 τετέλεσται should be translated "they are finished" with probable reference to Jesus' signs, works, and words.
