Luke 1:1 -> foot note c -> How does "which are most surely believed among us" have a greek translation of "which have been fulfilled." ?
Luke 1:2 -> Was not Luke one of those eyewitnesses and didn't have that intermediary step? Who is "us"?
Luke 1:3 -> Luke was an eyewitness. Is us referring to Luke, Theophilus and possibly other believers?
John 1:4 -> In what sense IS he our light? He gives us light, but what does it mean to be our light? He is our guide and teacher in this world? He was the Word in the beginning. We need the Word, or words of instruction/understanding to make it through this life.
John 1:9 -> Jesus is not just the guide/teacher figure, His influence or light enters us all as we come to this world.
John 1:10 -> footnote d -> "the world knew him not" refers to Isaiah 53:3 where it talks of us esteeming not the messiah. We don't know or recognize the messiah when we esteem him not.
John 1:12 -> footnote a -> In order to receive Him, we need to be humble/teachable. It is not so much as just professes Him as the Christ and believing it but needs us to change or at least view/recognize our level and position below that of Christ's and seek what we can learn from Him.
John 1:16 -> footnote a -> receiving of the His fulness refers to becoming complete or whole through the mercy of Christ
