Johannesevangeliets "Jag är". En jämförande studie av "Jag är" och dess metaforer i Johannesevangeliet med Gamla testamentet och Synoptikerna

Sammanfattning: This study is an attempt to compare those parts of the Gospel of John which contain ”I am” sayings and metaphors with the Synoptic Gospels and the Old Testament. The method was simply to seek for phrases of ”I Am” in the Septuagint and in the Novum Testamentum Graece . The meaning of the metaphors in the Gospel of John were hermeneutically interpreted and compared to the contents of those texts in the Synoptic Gospels and in the Old Testament and which also contained phrases of ”I Am.” ”I am” sayings are considerably more frequent in the Gospel of John than in the other canonical gospels. ”I am” sayings were found in Exodus, Leviticus and Ezekiel and Jeremiah and Isaiah. Together texts from these three prophets contain all the words of metaphors in the Gospel of John.
