First Epistle of Peter. 531 



(16) 



It is not clear from this passage in I Peter which is to be understood, 

 Christ or God. Judging from the Pauline literature upon which 

 I Peter surety depends, it would seem necessary to conclude that the 

 author had the former in mind. It would readily be interpreted as 

 such by anyone in the latter part of the First Century. Apparently 

 " John " so understood it. Reference in Jn. 5 ; 21 to quickening 

 the dead, is very suggestive of the quick and the dead of I Pt. 4 ; 5. 

 That it is found in a speech of Jesus is again indicative of a natural 

 development. We cannot be certain, however, for " John " may 

 draw from Paul directly, at this point, or even from some other 

 source.

It is to be noted again that the thought of I Peter is found in John 

 as the subject matter of a discourse by Jesus, in which the atonement 

 doctrine (15 ; 13) is set forth in harmony with I Pt. 2 ; 24. It is 

 very significant that the general statement made in the O.T. quota- 

 tion in I Pt. 4 ; 8b is paralleled in Jn. 15 ; 13a by a concrete example. 

 Note also that Jn. 15 ; 16 may allude to the Petrine doctrine of 

 election, which is again incorporated in a speech of Jesus.

Again the Pauline thought occurs in John in a narrative, but the 

 similarity is not close enough to indicate dependence. Cf. also 

 Lk. 24 ; 25, 26, 44, 46 and Acts 26 ; 22, 23.
