According to John 1:15, Jesus, born months after John the Baptist, was before John. What does the Greek adjective "protos" mean in John 1:15 (and in its parallel in 1:30)? Is the Baptist saying that Jesus outranked him or that Jesus was prior to John, and if so, in what sense? This episode weighs the strengths and weaknesses of the two different meanings of the ambiguous adjective "protos." The study sets John 1:15 in the context of the Prologue (1:1-18), where Jesus is portrayed as the embodiment of God's personified word/wisdom that was in the beginning with God.
