Egg-en-eh-tah

There is a form of a word which repeats several times in the original Greek of John’s Gospel (ἐγένετο; egeneto/egg-en-eh-tah). The word shows up in various forms in the first chapter eleven times. In this episode I want to think some about the superiority of Christ, and how John highlights that in part through the repetition of these terms.
