Abstract
AbstractJoshua Coutts deals with Exodus motifs in the fourth Gospel which includes only two citations of Exodus. John reads Israel’s Scriptures in light of the climactic event of Jesus. The contribution emphasises that John interprets Exodus traditions in the context of a broader interpretative tradition (Isaiah; Synoptic Gospels, in particular by Mark) which deal with divine revelation, divine teaching, and eschatological expectations. It does not isolate John’s direct engagement with the discrete book of Exodus but considers explicit points of engagement with Exodus (John 1:14–18; 6:31; 19:36), John’s historical location and ripple effects of Exodus that extend across the Gospel. John’s Gospel read in light of Exodus motifs functions as a foundational, identity-forming document for the people of God.
