“Against this, the fact that the woman is not portrayed as overcome by guilt, shame or even embarrassment at Jesus’ words suggests that one should not too readily impute to her personally a life-time of unchastity, or assume that the evangelist is implying this.” (Page 281)

“The phrase has been translated above as What relationship is there between you and me? That is to say, Jesus is here questioning the relationship that has up to this point bound him to his mother, and implying that he can no longer remain part of the Nazareth family. It is the Johannine equivalent of Lk 2:49 and 4:16–30.” (Page 181)

“Indeed, if this third interpretation of v. 3 is accepted, it suggests a most attractive double meaning affirming both that created life came into being through the pre-existent Word, and that it was through the Word made flesh that it was restored (cf. 3:5; 10:10; 11:25).” (Page 15)

“Dodd argued vigorously that the expression ‘Lamb of God’, is probably, in its first intention, a messianic title, a symbol of the Messiah as leader of the flock of God.” (Page 128)

“even before the raw material of the physical world was created, the Logos was already in existence.” (Page 6)
