Theodotion Zechariah in the Fourth Gospel
This article attempts demonstrate that the only two citations of Zechariah in the Fourth Gospel likely derive from “proto-Theodotion” Zechariah (Zech-θ). We first see that the Greek revision Theodotion was extant and available to the authors of the New Testament. Next, we see that the Fourth Gospel’...

| 總結: | This article attempts demonstrate that the only two citations of Zechariah in the Fourth Gospel likely derive from “proto-Theodotion” Zechariah (Zech-θ). We first see that the Greek revision Theodotion was extant and available to the authors of the New Testament. Next, we see that the Fourth Gospel’s citation of Zech 9:9 in John 12:15 derives from Zech-θ and does not necessarily rely on Matthew’s Gospel, which itself uses Zech-θ. The most critical piece of evidence for this conclusion is found in the genitive ὄνου, which neither the Old Greek ( OG ) nor Matthew’s Gospel preserves, but is found explicitly in Zech-θ. We then examine Zech 12:10 in John 19:37 and conclude that it, too, ultimately derives from Zech-θ. This conclusion is plausible because (1) the Fourth Gospel typically uses the Greek versions when citing the OT , (2) Zech-θ was likely at the author’s disposal when writing the Gospel, and (3) the prepositional phrase εἰς ὃν ἐξεκέντησαν reads verbatim with Zech-θ. |
