Footnotes
The closing hyperbole (κόσμον χωρῆσαι, "the world could not contain") is a deliberate rhetorical flourish well-attested in ancient literature — Sirach and rabbinic texts employ similar devices. But John's deployment carries theological weight: the Gospel opened with cosmic scope ("In the beginning was the Word" — 1:1, echoing Genesis 1:1) and now closes with cosmic incompleteness — the one through whom all things were made has done more than the cosmos can record. The shift from "we" in v.24 back to "I" (οἶμαι, "I think/suppose") also marks the final, intimate signature of the evangelist, stepping forward from his community to speak in his own voice one last time.
