Chunks: The Letters of John

John has emphasized the importance of right belief about the identity of Jesus. But in chapter 5, he says something oddly confusing about Jesus, insisting repeatedly that he came by “water and blood” (vss. 6-8)—probably as a rejoinder to something taught by the secessionists. As you might guess, the statement has generated a great deal of scholarly speculation, and in this episode, we’ll explore what John may have meant.
