He interprets the ‘baptism’ here much in the same way as V. Taylor on Mark x. 38.

page 507 note 2 Cf. C., Kingsley Barrett, The Gospel according to St John, on ūδωρ ʒῶν in John iv. to, p. 195. Barrett finds the roots of the conception in the O.T.: ‘Living water as a metaphor for divine activity in quickening men to life.’ He cites Jer. ii. 13; Zech. xiv. 8; and especially Ezek. xlvii. 9. ‘The water is pre-eminently the Holy Spirit, which one gives life.’

page 507 note 3 It is possible to make too much of this evangelist's verbal variations, cf. xxi. 15, where άγαπάω and φıλέω are synonyms. If there is a difference it would seem that λοúω applies to the body, νıπτω to parts of it.
