Abstract
The article deals with the concept of work as reflected in
the Fourth Gospel, encompassing the two cognate lexemes
evrga,zomai and e;rgon. The analysis is organized according
to the subjects who are performing a given work, to wit:
the Father, the Son, Jesus’ disciples (including Abraham)
and, finally, the people hostile toward God, designated
in the Gospel by the general term world. Interestingly
enough, both of the studied lexemes appear in John’s
Gospel only on the lips of Jesus. Additionally, as it turns
out, the Johannine concept of work covers a whole range
of meanings: the activity of the Father and the Son (who
give life and perform judgment), the salvific mission of
the Son, Jesus’ teaching and his obedience to the Father’s will, miraculous healings, human deeds in general (both
good or bad), disciples’ fulfillment of God’s will, meaning
primarily their faith in Jesus as the Messiah and the Son
of God. In a nutshell, the very essence of the work of the
Father and the Son (and continued by Jesus’ disciples) can
be encapsulated in the concept of salvation.
