The main object of this analysis is verse 51, which seems to be the key to the understanding of the whole discourse. First, we have compared Jesus’ self-introduction in v. 51 to other parts of the discourse in order to show the unity of the thought of the Author. Verse 51 contains some characteristic elements. Among them a special function is given to the nouns “soma” and “sarks”. Placing these words in the context of both the whole tradition of the Old and New Testament and especially in the language of the Author of the Forth Gospel proved to be very useful. An analysis of basic terms helps us to understand the meaning of “the flesh for the life of the world” It is revelation of the central thought of this text which is Incarnation of Christ which results in giving Himself to man in the mystery of the Eucharist.polCC-BY-ND - Uznanie autorstwa - Bez utworów zależnychBibliaPismo ŚwięteNowy TestamentEwangeliaEwangelia według św.
