Scholarly perspectives on the phrase “water and blood” in 1 John 5:6-8
“6 This is the one who came by water and blood, Jesus Christ, not with the water only but with the water and the blood. And the Spirit is the one that testifies, for the Spirit is the truth. 7 There are three that testify: 8 the Spirit and the water and the blood, and these three agree.” (NRSVUE)
What exactly the author is referring to by “water and blood” is unclear to me.
