John the evangelist, perceived the meaning of this statement in the widest range as salvation for the world. Jesus did not die to atone only for the sins of his people, but for every believer among the nations.
Yohana alitambua maana ya tamko hilo katika upeo wa kusudi lake kuwa wokovu kwa ulimwengu. Yesu hakufa kuwa sadaka kwa dhambi za watu wake tu, bali kwa ajili ya mwumini yeyote kati ya mataifa.
