John 16:28 Commentary

 

28: I came from beside the Father [1] and am come into the [world] system Again I leave the [world] system and go to the Father

[1] Translators of Bibles and interlinears alike misrepresent John 16:28, undermining Jesus’ pre-incarnation, non-hierarchical, existence within the Godhead by not only not translating a word but not even including that word in their interlinears! 

Fortunately at least one interlinear did so.

When interlinears are compared, we see that scholars of the Blue Letter Bible’s interlinear leave out a critical word from John 16:28. That word is “beside.” The incarnate Son of God did not simply come forth from the Father, he came out from beside the Father. The biblical picture is the members of the Godhead (YHWH) are co-equal with no semblance of hierarchy before THE WORD became flesh.
