Jn 1,1 - Ježiša Krista nazýva svätý Ján Slovom, grécky Logos. V tých časoch bol v gréckej filozofii a teológii zaužívaný termín, slovný výraz, ktorý vtedajší spisovatelia používali vo viacerých významoch, okrem iných aj v tzv. teogonickom - bohorodnom. Označovali tak zrodenie sa nejakej božskej bytosti z druhej, a to úkonom umu, myslením. Ako ľudská myšlienka je "slovom" rozumu, akoby jeho výplodom, tak aj druhá božská osoba je "Slovom", teda plodom prvej božskej osoby. - Tento pojem sa nachádza aj v Starom zákone, aspoň v hlavných črtách. Je to náuka o "Božej múdrosti" (Múd 7, 22 - 8, 1; Prís 8, 21-31; Sir 24, 1-25 a iné). Židovskí učenci ju síce svojím spôsobom spracovali (napr. Filón Alexandrijský a niektorí rabíni), neprišli však až k pojmu Božieho Slova ako božskej osoby. - Evanjelista použil túto smelú myšlienku, aby ňou vyjadril tajomstvo vnútorného života najsvätejšej Trojice. Pravda, nevzal výraz a pojem "slovo" - "logos" v tom istom význame, aký mal vo vtedajšej gréckej filozofii a teológii, ale dal mu nový vieroučný obsah. Nejde tu o božskú "bytosť" v pohanskom zmysle, ale o osobu v jedinej božskej Bytosti.
Jn 1,3-5 - Prvé slová Jánovho evanjelia sú ozvenou prvých slov Knihy Genezis: "Na počiatku stvoril Boh nebo i zem" (Gn 1, 1). Preto sa vo verši 3 výslovne zdôrazňuje, že celý svet bol stvorený skrze Božie Slovo a ďalej, že toto Slovo je všeobecným prameňom svetla a života. Porov. Kol 1, 15-17; Hebr 1, 2 n.
Jn 1,6 - To je Ján Krstiteľ (pozri ďalej v. 15 a 19n.).

Jn 1,14 - "Telom" je hebraizmus, znamená: "človekom." Tento verš výslovne a slávnostne hovorí o vtelení Božieho Syna. Božie Slovo sa stalo telom, čiže človekom v pravom zmysle slova - bez toho, že by prestalo byť Bohom (porov. Flp 2, 6-8).
Jn 1,19-34 - Ján, podobne ako Marek, začína priamo svedectvom Jána Krstiteľa. Toto svedectvo, ktoré vyvrcholilo pri krste samého Ježiša, spadá asi na začiatok roku 28 po Kr. (porov. poznámku k Lk 3, 1).
Jn 1,23 - Iz 40, 3.

Jn 1,40 - Ten druhý bol sám evanjelista - Ján (porov. 13, 23; 20, 2; 21, 7.20-24).
Jn 1,42 - Nové Šimonovo meno bude po aramejsky Kefá, t. j. "Skala" (v gréckom preklade Pétros alebo Pétra, z toho naše Peter). Je to meno úradu (porov. poznámku k Mt 16, 18-19). Podobne "Kristus" je grécky preklad (Christós) hebrejského Mašíach - Pomazaný (v. 41).
Jn 1,44 - Betsaida na západnom brehu Genezaretského jazera. Iná je Betsaida Julia na severovýchodnom brehu jazera.

Jn 1,51 - Narážka na Jakubovo videnie (Gn 28, 12-17); v prenesenom zmysle charakterizuje plnosť pozemského života Ježiša ako Mesiáša.
