Study Note
The declaration 'the Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us' (eskenosen, literally 'tabernacled') is among the most theologically dense sentences in the New Testament. The tabernacle image (skene) evokes the wilderness dwelling of God's presence among Israel (Exodus 25-40), presenting the incarnation as the ultimate fulfillment of Israel's tabernacle theology. 'Flesh' (sarx) emphasizes the full reality of physical, mortal human existence — not an appearance of humanity but genuine material embodiment. The phrase 'full of grace and truth' (charis kai aletheia) parallels the Hebrew covenant formula 'steadfast love and faithfulness' (chesed ve'emet), identifying Jesus as the embodiment of Sinai covenant character.
