Rev 5:6-14 as an example of Johannine intertextuality

| Summary: | This study tries to demonstrate that there is an intertextual relationship between Rev 5:6-7 and John 20:19-23. This notion is made on the basis of some linguistic and thematic connection between the two pericopes. The verb ἵστημι, quoted in both writings (John 20:14; Rev 5:6b), expresses the new life of Christ. The position of the Risen Christ (the adjective μέσος in John 20:19, 26; Rev 5:6a) refers to his victory over death. The verb ἔρχομαι (John 20:19; Rev 5:7), could be a common allusion to the Resurrection. Finally, the reference to Christ's death and to the gift of the Holy Spirit (John 20:20a-22; Rev 5:6c-d) shows another contact between the two pericopes, although with two different developments. In this way it is possible to consider the Lamb's power in Rev 5 and in the other pericopes connected with it, be understood in the light of Christ's victory in the paschal Mystery. |
