The True Exegesis

The True Exegesis

No one has seen God at any time. The only begotten Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, 𝐇𝐞 𝐡𝐚𝐬 𝐝𝐞𝐜𝐥𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐝 𝐇𝐢𝐦. - John 1:18

The word 'has declared Him' in Greek is eksēgéomai, where the English term is '𝐞𝐱𝐞𝐠𝐞𝐬𝐢𝐬'.

Exegesis is the legitimate interpretation which "reads out of' the biblical text what the original author meant to convey.

In other words, 𝐉𝐞𝐬𝐮𝐬 𝐞𝐱𝐞𝐠𝐞𝐭𝐞𝐬 𝐆𝐨𝐝 in the Scriptures.

No matter how strong your exegesis is; no matter how much you have studied about exegesis; no matter what your title is in the Kingdom of God... if your explanation/interpretation of who God is differs from Jesus' words and actions, your exegesis is wrong. Period.

For Jesus is the True Exegesis.
