AMPLIFIED 2015 | John 4:27 ¶ Just then His disciples came, and they were surprised to find Him talking with a woman. However, no one said, "What are You asking about?" or, "Why are You talking to her?" |
Subject: Should I "count" this one? |
Bible Note: Greetings Ray! I am convinced by two pieces of evidence. First of all, the second clause 'why are You speaking to her' uses the feminine pronoun as the direct object. So, this clause had to be addressed to Jesus. Secondly, there is not to indicate a change in person. The disciples were 'amazed that He was speaking with a woman, but no one said (implied 'to Him'), 'What are You seeking or Why are You speaking with her?'" The source of their amazement was Jesus, not the woman and accordingly, their unasked questions regarded Him. But, for your counting purposes, it is worth noting that neither of the 'You's' are explicit. They are included in the verbs themselves. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
