“The term λόγος never has the sense of reason in the New Testament.” (Page 2)
“Moses dwells on that which starts from the point, and traces the record of divine action from the beginning (comp. 1 John 1:1, 2:13), while St John lifts our thoughts beyond the beginning and dwells on that which ‘was’ when time, and with time finite being, began its course.” (Page 2)
“He who drinks of the Spiritual Rock becomes in turn himself a rock from within which the waters flow to slake the thirst of others.” (Page 123)
“Christ is all Himself. The pronoun is emphatic, and at once turns the thoughts of the apostles from a method to a Person.” (Page 202)
“St John introduces the term without any explanation. He assumes that his readers are familiar with it.” (Page 2)
Brooke Foss Westcott was Regius Professor of Divinity at Cambridge University, Bishop of Durham, and co-editor of the Westcott-Hort critical edition of the Greek New Testament.
