Ἰωάννου (Ioannou) in John 1:40: Noun Genitive Singular Masculine

Noun: this form names the person John, so it identifies a referenced individual rather than a verbal action.

Genitive: the form usually marks relationship, source, or association, and here it functions within a phrase that describes the hearing and following.

Singular: the form refers to one person, John, in this occurrence and does not imply plurality.

Masculine: the noun belongs to the masculine grammatical class, which reflects the form of the name and does not itself make a theological claim about gender.

παρὰ

The genitive is used after παρὰ here, so the phrase naturally points to John as the person associated with the hearing, without by itself specifying more than the context supplies.

It functions as the object of the preposition in the phrase, helping locate the source or personal setting of the hearing described in the verse.

It is not the main subject of the sentence, and the form alone does not make John the doer of the following action or add a separate event.

High: The genitive proper name identifies John as the personal source or setting from which the two disciples heard before following Jesus.

Genitive singular proper name governed by the preposition. identifies John as the person associated with the hearing that led to following Jesus. Attached to the hearing-from-John phrase in John 1:40. Governed by the preposition that links the hearing to John. The prepositional phrase supplies narrative setting, not a separate main action by John.

From whom or in whose setting did the disciples hear? The genitive names John as the personal reference point for their hearing before they followed Jesus.

Direct: The form supports renderings such as "from John" or "with John," depending on how the prepositional phrase is handled.

The preposition shapes whether the phrase is heard as source, association, or personal setting. The form identifies John in the narrative relation but does not make him the main actor of the following action.

Proper-name genitive adds authority beyond the scene: The grammar marks the hearing relation; the narrative supplies the significance of John as witness. prepositional genitive is reduced to possession: The preposition governs the relation, so the phrase is about hearing in relation to John.

The witness reads Ἰωάννου, a genitive singular form of the name John in the Textus Receptus tradition for John 1:40.

The lexical item is Ἰωάννης, the proper name John, so the form identifies the same person while showing its relational case form.

In the clause παρὰ Ἰωάννου, the genitive works with the preposition to indicate the personal reference tied to the two disciples who heard and followed.

The verse says Andrew was one of the two who heard from or in the presence of John and then followed Jesus, and the genitive helps locate that relationship.

As a canonical name, John here serves as a narrative anchor that connects the verse to the wider Gospel witness without requiring extra theological weight from the case form.

For readers, the form signals a relational reference point, so the sentence can be heard as identifying where the discipleship response began.

Do not derive that the genitive alone proves authority, discipleship status, or any theological conclusion about John beyond the narrative relation stated in context.
