| Résumé : |
The phrase την αρχην in Jn 8:25 is unique in the NT and has caused much debate in interpretation, because in Gr. lit. it usually occurs as (a) "[from] the beginning" and (b) idiomatically "to begin with", "at all". e unique reading ειπoν υμιν Papyrus Bodmer II (P 66 ) gives the sense: "I told you from the beginning". However, this reading is probably not original, so the pursuit must continue. An investigation into c. 5.000 occurrences in Greek lit. of all times indicates that here we have a temporal use of the idiomatic adverbial accusative την αρχην = "from the beginning". Taking into account the conjunction και as well as the position of the expression, Jn 8:25 should be translated:
- "Who are you?"
- "[I am] From the beginning! - precisely what I have been saying (speaking) to you". |
