约翰福音 3章19节 到 3章19节     上一笔  下一笔
 {And this is the judgment} (haut(8820)de estin h(8820)krisis). A
thoroughly Johannine phrase for sequence of thought ( 15:12  17:3  1Jo 1:5  5:11,14  3Jo 1:6 ). It is more precisely the
process of judging (kri-sis) rather than the result (kri-ma)
of the judgment. "It is no arbitrary sentence, but the working
out of a moral law" (Bernard). {The light is come} (	o ph(9373)
el(886c)uthen). Second perfect active indicative of erchomai, a
permanent result as already explained in the Prologue concerning
the Incarnation ( 1:4,5,9,11 ). Jesus is the Light of the world.
{Loved darkness} ((8867)ap(8873)an to skotos). Job ( Job 24:13 ) spoke
of men rebelling against the light. Here 	o skotos, common word
for moral and spiritual darkness ( 1Th 5:5 ), though h(8820)skotia
in  Joh 1:5 . "Darkness" is common in John as a metaphor for the
state of sinners ( 8:12  12:35, 46  1Jo 1:6  2:8,9,11 ). Jesus
himself is the only moral and spiritual light of the world
( 8:12 ) as he dared claim to his enemies. The pathos of it all
is that men fall in love with the darkness of sin and rebel
against the light like denizens of the underworld, "for their
works were evil (pon(8872)a)." When the light appears, they scatter
to their holes and dens. Pon(8872)os (from ponos, toil, pone(935c),
to toil) is used of the deeds of the world by Jesus ( 7:7 ). In
the end the god of this world blinds men's eyes so that they do
not see the light ( 2Co 4:4 ). The fish in the Mammoth Cave have
no longer eyes, but only sockets where eyes used to be. The evil
one has a powerful grip on the world ( 1Jo 5:19 ).
