PART ONE Crucifixion Analysis Annotated Passage

PART ONE:

For the first part of the assignment, you need to annotate the account of the crucifixion in John 19:16b–42 like you did in the Passage Annotation assignment in Week 1. This step requires that you:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

Print a hard copy of the passage. Start by copying and pasting (or typing out) John 19:16b–42. (You can find a digital version in various translations freely available at http://biblegateway.com (https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=jOHN+19%3A16b%E2%80%9342&version=NIV) Then, remove the verse numbers and triple-space the lines. This will limit distractions and give you space for your annotations.
Liberally annotate the passage. See the images of Rom 1:1–2 and Deut 6:1–3 in Grasping God’s Word Download Grasping God’s Word(pp. 62, 80) Download (pp. 62, 80)for an example of what your annotated passage should look like in the end. See the Passage Annotation assignment description for more details on what you should mark in your annotations.

***Circle repeated words or phrases. Not every repeated word or phrase needs to be circled; focus on those that seem significant for understanding the meaning of the passage.
***Underline significant verbs. Once again, you don’t need to underline every verb; focus on those that seem significant. Note the tense (past, present, future) and the subject (e.g., God, the author, the audience).
***Enumerate lists. If you encounter a list of some kind, number each item in the list in your annotations and consider if there is any significance to the number of items in the list or the way that they are arranged. Does the list build toward the final item in some way? Are items grouped together in some way? Does the list have a logical progression?
***Identify contrasts. If the author contrasts two ideas, actions, kinds of people, etc., mark that in your annotations. You can write a short description of the contrast in the margin in the space between lines. Something like “wages from sin vs. gift from God” (for Rom 6:23) is sufficient.
***Identify clauses that indicate cause, effect, purpose, result, or means. Key words will often help you identify these clauses. For example, “so that” or “in order that” often indicates the purpose or result of the previous statement. Prepositions like “by” or “through” often indicate the means by which an action is accomplished. When you notice a clause that address cause, effect, purpose, result, or means in a significant way, put parentheses around it and mark its function. For example, you might write an “M” by those clauses that indicate means. This part of the annotations requires the most careful observation and thought, but it can also be one of the most helpful ways to open up the meaning of a passage.
