Document Details : Title: El 'segundo signo' en el Cuarto Evangelio Author(s): GRANADOS ROJAS, Juan Manuel Journal: Biblica Volume: 98 Issue: 2 Date: 2017 Pages: 270-286 DOI: 10.2143/BIB.98.2.3217847 Abstract : This paper proposes a narrative reading of the 'second sign' in the Fourth Gospel. The plot of John 4,46-54 includes both a περιπέτεια and an ἀναγνώρισις, i.e. not only a healing, but also an acknowledgment. This narrative pattern delays solving the plot to stress a new comprehension of the faith in Jesus. Our analysis also suggests an all-inclusive explanation of several discrepancies between the Synoptic account and the Johannine one: the mention of βασιλικός rather than ἑκατόνταρχος, the doubling of ἐπίστευσεν (vv. 50.53), and the incongruity between the Royal Officer’s request and Jesus’ response (vv. 47.48). |
