ἐγένετο, (egeneto) in John 1:3: Verb Third Person Singular Second Aorist Middle Deponent Indicative

Verb: the form names an action or event, here expressed as coming into being or happening. The form itself does not settle the nuance beyond what the sentence and context show.

Second Aorist: commonly views the action as a whole event. It should not be treated as automatically punctiliar or automatically past in every context.

Middle Deponent: uses a middle or passive form traditionally read with active sense. The lexeme and sentence still govern the meaning.

Indicative: presents the verbal idea as an assertion or statement in the clause.

Third person: the form speaks about someone or something rather than directly as I/we or you.

Not applicable: this verb form is not using noun case to mark its sentence role.

Singular: the form is third person singular, so it presents the action as one occurrence or event in the clause. The singular form does not by itself identify the subject beyond context.

Not applicable: this verb form does not use grammatical gender to make its point.

πάντα δι᾽ αὐτοῦ

The verb is the predicate for the clause, and it is read with the surrounding statement that all things came to be through him. The context governs the sense, while the form marks the action as a completed event.

It states that the coming into existence of all things happened through him. In this verse, the form supports the claim of dependent origin rather than self-existence.

It does not by itself identify the subject, create a new lexical meaning, or force a theological conclusion beyond the sentence. It also does not require a special subject beyond what the context supplies.

High: The verb is central to John 1:3's creation claim and helps readers distinguish created things from the Word through whom they came into being.

Third-person singular second aorist middle deponent indicative. states that what exists came into being through the Word. Attached to all things in the creation statement. Governed by the main assertion of John 1:3. The deponent label does not mean the created things act on themselves in an ordinary middle-voice sense.

What does the verse say happened to all things? All things came into being through the Word.

Direct: The form directly supports renderings such as "came into being" or "was made."

The aorist presents coming into being as a whole assertion, not as a stopwatch claim about the process of creation. The middle deponent label should not be used to say creation caused itself. The grammar supports the verse's creation claim, but the full Christological argument comes from the whole prologue.

Middle voice means self-action: This deponent form should not be read as created things causing themselves. aorist means once-for-all in every theological sense: The aorist presents the coming-into-being assertion as a whole event; the verse and context carry the doctrine.

The witness reads ἐγένετο in John 1:3 within a form of the textus receptus. The immediate line repeats the same verb and frames the statement about all things and their relation to him.

The lemma is γίνομαι, a verb of coming into being, becoming, or happening. The form does not change the lemma into another word; it only shows how the verb functions in this clause.

The aorist indicative presents the event as a whole, and the singular form matches the clause structure. In context, it supports a broad statement about creation or emergence through him, without adding more detail than the verse gives.

The verse says that everything came into being through him, and that apart from him not even one thing came into being that has come into being. The grammar serves that meaning by presenting the action as real and completed.

Within John's opening prologue, the form fits a larger witness about the Word's relation to all that exists. The grammar aligns with the passage's emphasis on dependence and universal scope, but it does not carry that theology by itself.

For readers and teachers, the form can be described as a completed statement of coming into being. That helps communicate the verse's force clearly, while keeping the focus on the sentence's claim.

Do not derive a separate doctrine from tense alone, do not overread voice as if it settled agency beyond the clause, and do not turn grammatical form into a standalone proof text. The form serves the context.
