ABSTRACT

The Fourth Gospel contains only several occurrences of “purity” or “purification” terminology,but twice Jesus speaks of his disciples (save Judas) as “clean/pure” (Jn 13:10-11; 15:2-3). This paper will examine the significance and function of the motif of the “purity” of the disciples in these two passages in the footwashing and the vine-branches pericopae. As will be seen, the “purity” motif in the Fourth Gospel serves an ecclesial function to affirm the status and mission of the disciples as God’s people in the world.

撮要

在約翰福音中，「潔凈」的用詞寥寥可數，但有兩次耶穌論及祂的門徒「潔凈」了。這類詞語出現於約翰福音十三章10和11節（記敘耶穌給門徒洗腳）和十五章2和3節（記敘葡萄樹與枝子的比喻）。這篇文章探討約翰福音潔凈觀，尤其是「潔凈」與門徒的身分及使命之關連。
