5二 约翰福音是一卷讲生命的书,不是讲天然的生命,而是讲转换并变化过的生命;本来约翰不是马利亚的儿子,马利亚也不是约翰的母亲,但凭着基督释放生命的死,凭着祂分赐生命的复活,并凭着祂与他们生命的联结,祂所爱的门徒就能与祂是一而成为祂母亲的儿子,祂母亲也能成为祂所爱之门徒的母亲—十九26~27。
5B The Gospel of John is a book on life, not on the natural life but on the transferred and transformed life; originally, John was not Mary’s son, and Mary was not John’s mother, but by Christ’s life-releasing death, by His life-dispensing resurrection, and by His life union with them, His beloved disciple could be one with Him and become the son of His mother, and she could become the mother of His beloved disciple—19:26-27.
