John 1:35-51  Titles of Jesus

v.41 What does "Messiah" mean?  A: v.41 GRK #3323 Hebrew for “Christ” which is GRK #5547 "the Anointed One"

v.42 What does "Cephas" mean?  A: GRK #2786 Aramaic for "rock"
                                 "Peter" is Greek #4074 for "rock"

v.46 Why this reaction?  A: possibly a bad reputation

v.49 What happened to cause this dramatic and sudden change in attitude towards Jesus?  A: Jesus demonstrated both His omniscience and omnipresence -- knew who Nathanael was and saw him wherever he was

    Why the title "Son of God"?  A: see Jn. 11:27

    Why the title "King of Israel"?  A: see Is. 44:6

v.51 title "Son of Man"  - see Dan. 7:13-14

    What is the difference between the titles "Son of God" and "Son of Man"?  A: His nature is God and His nature is man. Also, He fully consists of and represents both - a mediator

v.51 the "you" is switched to plural in GRK #5213, meaning the group he was talking to rather than addressing just Nathanael in vv.49-50; "Son of Man" see Dan. 7:13-14
