復活的敘事是約翰福音的高潮。在約翰福音第二十章中，感官動詞的使用非常突出，尤其是視覺動詞。筆者主張約翰使用感官動詞是為了一個特殊的目的：喚起讀者的想像力，使他們在閱讀福音書時能夠「看到」、「聽到」，甚至「觸摸」耶穌。通過讓讀者彷彿置身於耶穌復活的現場，他們也能成為耶穌復活的見證人。

The resurrection narrative is the climax of John’s Gospel. In John 20, the use of sense perception is prominent, especially the sense of sight.1 I argue that John uses sense perception intentionally for a special purpose: to evoke the readers’ imagination, so that they can “see,” “hear” and even “touch” Jesus as they read through the Gospel. By making the readers present at the resurrection scene, they, too, become witnesses of Jesus’s resurrection.
