초록

The purpose of this article is to demonstrate the Nicodemus discourse’s indebtedness to sapiential motifs. I have identified ten wisdom motifs in the discourse. Rebirth and seeing the kingdom of God in John 3:3 seem to be originated from Wisdom 7:22-27 and 10:10. Nicodemus’ misunderstanding is probably influenced by Sirach 4:17-19. The juxtaposition of wind and the Spirit in John 3:8 is borrowed from Ecclesiastes 11:5. Wisdom 16:5-14 is the primary background of the image of the serpent in the wilderness in John 3:14-18. Based on these observations, I conclude that the Nicodemus discourse is not only full of wisdom motifs but also can be understood better in light of the sapiential motif.

Abstract

The purpose of this article is to demonstrate the Nicodemus discourse’s indebtedness to sapiential motifs. I have identified ten wisdom motifs in the discourse. Rebirth and seeing the kingdom of God in John 3:3 seem to be originated from Wisdom 7:22-27 and 10:10. Nicodemus’ misunderstanding is probably influenced by Sirach 4:17-19. The juxtaposition of wind and the Spirit in John 3:8 is borrowed from Ecclesiastes 11:5. Wisdom 16:5-14 is the primary background of the image of the serpent in the wilderness in John 3:14-18. Based on these observations, I conclude that the Nicodemus discourse is not only full of wisdom motifs but also can be understood better in light of the sapiential motif.
