30, 31. THE CONCLUSION AND PURPOSE OF THE GOSPEL

πολλὰ μ. οὖν κ. ἄλλα σ. Many and other signs, therefore (as might be expected from those which have been recorded in this book). The context shews that σημεῖα must not be limited to proofs of the Resurrection. S. John is glancing back over his whole work, τὸ βιβλίον τοῦτον, and the σημεῖα are miracles generally: comp. Joh 12:37. Πολλὰ κ. ἄλλα points the same way; the signs of the Resurrection were few and similar. Μὲν anticipates δέ in Joh 20:31, and οὖν marks the transition: comp. Mar 16:19-20; Php 2:23-24. Winer, p. 556. With ἐνώπιον τ. μαθητῶν comp. Joh 16:26, Act 1:21-22.
