Sorry, that was in the FIRST volume of Brown's Anchor Bible commentary on John's Gospel, and specifically, it is #8 on pp. 510-12. Brown cites two works (there may be more by now) then out on this usage of MENEIN: Pecorara, G., "De verbo 'manere' apud Joannem," Divus Thomas 40 (1937), 159-171. Schnacken burg, R., "Zu den joh. Immanenzformula," Die Johannesbriefe (2 ed.; Freiburg: Herder, 1963), pp. 105-9. Carl W.
