John 1

Kommentar zu diesem Kapitel

John 1 opens with staggering height and immediate nearness. The eternal Word is with God, is God, and then enters the world he made.

Kapitelkommentar öffnen

John 1 does not begin gently. It places the reader before the Word who already was, who was with God, and who was God. That means the chapter refuses every attempt to begin with Jesus as mere example, teacher, or prophet. In John 1:1-5, creation itself is traced to him. Life and light belong to him. Then John 1:10-14 makes the scandal even sharper: the world made through him does not know him, and his own do not receive him. The incarnation is not sentimental nearness. It is divine glory entering rejection. Yet the chapter keeps pressing revelation forward. John the Baptist names him in John 1:29 as the Lamb of God, which means Jesus does not come only to reveal the Father but to deal with sin. And when Nathanael’s confession rises in John 1:49-51, the chapter shows that the One now standing among men is the true meeting place between heaven and earth. John 1 matters because it asks whether you are willing to let Jesus define himself at divine scale, or whether you will shrink him to a form your natural mind can comfortably handle.

Wie sich das Kapitel entfaltet

The chapter moves from cosmic prologue to John’s witness and then to the first disciples gathered around Jesus.

Warum dieses Kapitel wichtig ist

It matters because it establishes from the outset that Jesus cannot be reduced to moral teacher, prophet, or religious symbol.

Auslegungsfrage im Blick behalten

The chapter forces the reader to hold together transcendence and incarnation. The Maker of all things comes close enough to be rejected.

Fragen zu diesem Kapitel

  • How does John 1 destroy any reduced view of Jesus from its opening lines?
  • Why does the chapter hold together cosmic glory and human rejection so tightly?
  • What do John 1:29 and John 1:49-51 reveal about who Jesus is and what he came to do?

1 In the beginnynge was the worde and the worde was with God: and the worde was God. 2 The same was in the beginnynge with God. 3 All thinges were made by it and with out it was made nothinge that was made. 4 In it was lyfe and the lyfe was the lyght of men 5 and the lyght shyneth in the darcknes but the darcknes comprehended it not. 6 There was a man sent from God whose name was Iohn. 7 The same cam as a witnes to beare witnes of the lyght that all men through him myght beleve. 8 He was not that lyght: but to beare witnes of the lyght. 9 That was a true lyght which lyghteth all men that come into the worlde. 10 He was in the worlde and the worlde was made by him: and yet the worlde knewe him not. 11 He cam amonge his (awne) and his awne receaved him not. 12 But as meny as receaved him to them he gave power to be the sonnes of God in that they beleved on his name: 13 which were borne not of bloude nor of the will of the flesshe nor yet of the will of man: but of God. 14 And the worde was made flesshe and dwelt amonge vs and we sawe the glory of it as the glory of the only begotten sonne of the father which worde was full of grace and verite. 15 Iohn bare witnes of him and cryed sayinge: This was he of whome I spake he that cometh after me was before me because he was yer then I. 16 And of his fulnes have all we receaved even (grace) for grace. 17 For the lawe was geven by Moses but grace and truthe came by Iesus Christ. 18 No man hath sene God at eny tyme. The only begotte sonne which is in the bosome of the father he hath declared him. 19 And this is the recorde of Iohn: When the Iewes sent Prestes and Levites from Ierusalem to axe him what arte thou? 20 And he confessed and denyed not and sayde playnly: I am not Christ. 21 And they axed him: what then? arte thou Helyas? And he sayde: I am not. Arte thou a Prophete? And he answered no. 22 Then sayd they vnto him: what arte thou that we maye geve an answer to them that sent vs: What sayest thou of thy selfe? 23 He sayde: I am the voyce of a cryar in the wyldernes make strayght the waye of the Lorde as sayde the Prophete Esaias. 24 And they which were sent were of the pharises. 25 And they axed him and sayde vnto him: why baptisest thou then yf thou be not Christ nor Helyas nether a Prophet? 26 Iohn answered them sayinge: I baptise with water: but one is come amonge you whom ye knowe not 27 he it is that cometh after me whiche was before me whose shoe latchet I am not worthy to vnlose. 28 These thinges were done in Bethabara beyonde Iordan where Iohn dyd baptyse. 29 The nexte daye Iohn sawe Iesus commyge vnto him and sayde: beholde the lambe of God which taketh awaye the synne of the worlde. 30 This is he of whom I sayde. After me cometh a man which was before me for he was yer then I 31 and I knew him not: but that he shuld be declared to Israell therfore am I come baptisynge with water. 32 And Iohn bare recorde sayinge: I sawe the sprete descende from heven lyke vnto a dove and abyde apon him 33 and I knewe him not. But he that sent me to baptise in water the same sayde vnto me: apon whom thou shalt se the sprete descende and tary styll on him the same is he which baptiseth with the holy goost. 34 And I sawe and bare recorde that this is the sonne of God. 35 The next daye after Iohn stode agayne and two of his disciples. 36 And he behelde Iesus as he walked by and sayde: beholde the lambe of God. 37 And the two disciples hearde him speake and folowed Iesus. 38 And Iesus turned about and sawe them folowe and sayde vnto them: what seke ye? They sayde vnto him: Rabbi (which is to saye by interpretacion Master) where dwellest thou? 39 He sayde vnto them: come and se. They came and sawe where he dwelt: and abode with him that daye. For it was about the tenthe houre. 40 One of the two which hearde Iohn speake and folowed Iesus was Andrew Simon Peters brother. 41 The same founde his brother Simon fyrst and sayde vnto him: we have founde Messias which is by interpretacion annoynted: 42 and brought him to Iesus. And Iesus behelde him and sayde: thou arte Simon the sonne of Ionas thou shalt be called Cephas: which is by interpretacion a stone. 43 The daye folowynge Iesus wolde goo into Galile and founde Philip and sayde vnto him folowe me. 44 Philip was of Bethsaida the cite of Andrew and Peter. 45 And Philip founde Nathanael and sayde vnto him. We have founde him of whom Moses in the lawe and the prophetes dyd wryte. Iesus the sonne of Ioseph of Nazareth. 46 And Nathanael sayde vnto him: can ther eny good thinge come out of Nazareth? Philip sayde to him: come and se. 47 Iesus sawe Nathanael commynge to him and sayde of him. Beholde a ryght Israelite in who is no gyle. 48 Nathanael sayd vnto him: where knewest thou me? Iesus answered and sayde vnto him: Before that Philip called the when thou wast vnder the fygge tree I sawe the. 49 Nathanael answered and sayde vnto him: Rabbi thou arte the sonne of God thou arte the kynge of Israel. 50 Iesus answered and sayd vnto him: Because I sayde vnto the I sawe the vnder the fygge tree thou belevest. Thou shalt se greater thinges then these. 51 And he sayde vnto him: Verely verely I saye vnto you: herafter shall ye se heven open and the angels of God ascendynge and descendynge over the sonne of man.

Johannes lässt den Leser nicht zuerst über Jesus als Morallehrer oder geistliches Beispiel nachdenken. Das Wort ist bereits, ist bei Gott und ist Gott. Schöpfung, Leben und Licht stehen von Anfang an unter ihm.

Inkarnation ist Herrlichkeit, die in Zurückweisung eintritt

Öffnen
Zum Text

Johannes verweigert jede sentimentale Nacherzählung der Inkarnation. Die Welt, die durch das Wort gemacht wurde, erkennt ihn nicht, und die Seinen nehmen ihn nicht auf. Doch genau in dieser Zurückweisung wird das Wort Fleisch und offenbart göttliche Herrlichkeit voller Gnade und Wahrheit.

🔥 Revelation

Johannes 1 stellt die Inkarnation nicht nur als sentimentale Nähe dar, sondern als göttliche Herrlichkeit, die in eine Welt eintritt, die ihn nicht will.

John 1:14 · Greek Zum Text

eskēnōsen (eskenosen)

Wörtlich: zeltete / wohnte

Johannes’ Wortwahl ruft Gottes Wohnen unter seinem Volk auf. Die Inkarnation trägt Tempel- und Stiftshütten-Klang, nicht bloß Ortsangabe.

Es hilft dem Leser, die Inkarnation als Bundespräsenz in der Geschichte zu hören und nicht nur als göttliche Nähe.

Kultureller Kontext

John 1 · Welt von Tempel und Zeugnis Zum Text

Johannes’ Prolog und Zeugenszenen greifen Tempel-, Schöpfungs-, Exodus- und Zeugnisthemen auf, um Jesus als den Treffpunkt zwischen Gott und seinem Volk darzustellen.

Moderne Leser hören im Prolog womöglich nur philosophische Sprache und übersehen ihren Bundes- und Anbetungsklang.

Es lässt Johannes 1 weniger wie Abstraktion und mehr wie in Fleisch ankommende Bundesoffenbarung lesen.
