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.
