Re: Jn. 1:1 pros
In Matt. 19:8 and Luke 20:19 we have limited support for a meaning of
_pros_ as "[spoken] in reference to, about." This would explain the
accusative, which would be awkward for place-where, but not for
topicality. Rendering _logos_ "message" perhaps we could eke out:
At first [there] was the message
And the message was concerning God
And the message was: "God" [or, the message was divine]
...
(v. 18) No one has ever seen God at any time, but his only born son, who
{was come into his father's bosom ?}, he told [about him].
Never minding the difficulties with the {} part, which would make another
interesting thread.
