Yahweh


Why would John use 'Yahweh' when he is grieving rather than Lord or Jesus or even Jehovah?
Seems a bit odd to me.

The Hebrew alphabet the Old Testament is written in, does not contain vocals, only consonants. So the name is actually written "JHWH"; Jehovah is one possible pronunciation, Yahweh is another.
