Steven is 100% correct in everything he says in this post. I would not
think of adding a jot or tittle to it. On my own behalf I would only say
that the author of John was smart enough to realize that he used different
words in this story. How much smarter we must be if we tell him that he
meant only one thing when he used two words!!!
Best,
Jim
