The genuineness of this Gospel, i.e., the fact that the apostle John was its author, is beyond all reasonable doubt. In recent times, from about 1820, many attempts have been made to impugn its genuineness, but without success.
The design of John in writing this Gospel is stated by himself (Joh 20:31). It was at one time supposed that he wrote for the purpose of supplying the omissions of the synoptical, i.e., of the first three, Gospels, but there is no evidence for this. "There is here no history of Jesus and his teaching after the manner of the other evangelists. But there is in historical form a representation of the Christian faith in relation to the person of Christ as its central point; and in this representation there is a picture on the one hand of the antagonism of the world to the truth revealed in him, and on the other of the spiritual blessedness of the few who yield themselves to him as the Light of life" (Reuss).
After the prologue (1:1-5), the historical part of the book begins with verse 6, and consists of two parts. The first part (1:6-ch. 12) contains the history of our Lord's public ministry from the time of his introduction to it by John the Baptist to its close. The second part (ch. 13-21) presents our Lord in the retirement of private life and in his intercourse with his immediate followers (13-17), and gives an account of his sufferings and of his appearances to the disciples after his resurrection (18-21).
The peculiarities of this Gospel are the place it gives (1) to the mystical relation of the Son to the Father, and (2) of the Redeemer to believers; (3) the announcement of the Holy Ghost as the Comforter; (4) the prominence given to love as an element in the Christian character. It was obviously addressed primarily to Christians.
It was probably written at Ephesus, which, after the destruction of Jerusalem (A.D. 70), became the centre of Christian life and activity in the East, about A.D. 90.

Simon Peter, therefore, hearing that it was the Lord, girded about him, his upper garment, - for he was naked; and cast himself into the sea; but, the other disciples, came, by the little boat, - for they were not farther from the land than about two hundred cubits off, - dragging the net of fishes.

Jesus saith unto them - Come! break your fast. Not one, of the disciples was venturing to ask him, Who art, thou? knowing that it was, the Lord. read more. Jesus cometh, and taketh the bread, and giveth unto them; and the fish, in like manner. This, already, is the third time Jesus was manifested unto the disciples, after he was raised from among the dead. When, therefore, they had broken their fast, Jesus saith unto Simon Peter - Simon, son of John! lovest thou me more than these? He saith unto him - Yea, Lord! thou, knowest that I am fond of thee, he saith unto him - Be feeding my lambs. He saith unto him, again, the second time - Simon, son of John! lovest thou me? He saith unto him - Yea, Lord! thou, knowest that I am fond of thee. He saith unto him - Be shepherding my sheep. He saith unto him, the third time - Simon, son of John! art thou fond of me? Peter was grieved, that he said unto him, the third time, Art thou fond of me? and he said unto him - Lord! all things, thou, knowest: thou perceivest that I am fond of thee. Jesus saith unto him - Be feeding my sheep. Verily, verily, I say unto thee - When thou wast younger, thou usedst to gird thyself, and to walk whither thou didst choose; but, when thou shalt become aged, thou shalt stretch out thy hands, and, another, shall gird thee, and bear thee, whither thou dost not choose. Now, this, he said, signifying, by what manner of death, he should glorify God. And, having said this, he saith unto him - Be following me. Peter, turning about, beholdeth the disciple whom Jesus loved, following, - who also reclined during the supper upon his breast, and said - Lord, who is it that is delivering thee up? Peter, therefore, seeing, this one, saith unto Jesus - Lord! and, this one, what? Jesus saith unto him - If I will that, he, remain until I come, what is that to thee? Thou, be following me. This word, therefore, went forth unto the brethren, that, that disciple, should not die. Howbeit, Jesus did not tell him, he should not die; but, If I will that, he, remain until I come, what is that to thee? This, is the disciple who beareth witness concerning these things, and who hath written these things; and we know that, true, is, his witness.
This, is the disciple who beareth witness concerning these things, and who hath written these things; and we know that, true, is, his witness. Now there are many other things also, which Jesus did, which, indeed, if they were to be written one by one, not even the world, itself, I suppose, would contain, the books which must be written.
Purge ye out the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, - even as ye are unleavened; for, our passover, hath even been sacrificed - Christ:
That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we for ourselves gazed upon, and our hands did handle, concerning the Word of Life, - And, the Life, was made manifest, and we have seen, and are bearing witness, and announcing unto you, the Age-abiding Life, which, indeed, was with the Father, and was made manifest unto us; read more. That which we have seen and heard, are we announcing, even unto you, in order that, ye too, may have fellowship with us, and, our own fellowship also, may be with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ. And, these things, are we writing, in order that, our joy, may be made full.

John, Gospel of.
This Gospel was probably written at Ephesus about A.D. 78. (Canon Cook places it toward the close of John's life, A.D. 90-100. --ED.) The Gospel was obviously addressed primarily to Christians, not to heathen. There can be little doubt that the main object of St. John, who wrote after the other evangelists, is to supplement their narratives, which were almost confined to our Lord's life in Galilee. (It was the Gospel for the Church, to cultivate and cherish the spiritual life of Christians, and bring them into the closest relations to the divine Saviour. It gives the inner life and teachings of Christ as revealed to his disciples. Nearly two-thirds of the whole book belong to the last six months of our Lord's life, and one-third is the record of the last week. --ED.) The following is an abridgment of its contents: A.

The feast of dedication took place at that time, in Jerusalem: it was, winter, read more. and Jesus was walking in the temple, in the porch of Solomon. The Jews, therefore, surrounded him, and were saying unto him - How long, holdest thou, our lives, in suspense? If, thou, art the Christ, tell us, plainly. Jesus answered them - I told you, and ye believe not: The works which, I, am doing in the name of my Father, the same, bear witness concerning me. But, ye, believe not, because ye are not of my sheep. My sheep, unto my voice, hearken, - and, I, know, them, and they follow me, - And, I, give unto them life age-abiding, and in nowise shall they perish, unto times age-abiding; and no one shall carry them off out of my hand. What, my Father, hath given me, is, something greater than all, and, no one, can carry off out of the hand of my Father: - I and the Father, are, one. The Jews again lifted up stones, that they might stone him. Jesus answered them - Many works, have I showed you, noble ones, from my Father: For which of those works are ye stoning me? The Jews answered him - Concerning a noble work, are we not stoning thee; but concerning profane speech, - and because, thou, being, a man, art making thyself, God. Jesus answered them - Is it not written in your law: I, said, Ye are, gods? If, those, he called gods, unto whom, the word of God, came - and the Scripture cannot be broken - Of him whom, the Father, hallowed and sent forth into the world, are, ye, saying - Thou speakest profanely, because I said, Son of God, I am? If I am not doing the works of my Father, do not believe in me; But, if I am doing them, even though, in me, ye believe not, in the works, believe, - that ye may get to know and go on to know, that the Father is, in me, and, I, am, in the Father. They were thereforeagain seeking to take him; and he went forth out of their hand. And he went away again, beyond the Jordan, unto the place where John was at the first, immersing; and he abode there. And, many, came unto him, and were saying - John, indeed, did not so much as, one sign; but, all things, whatsoever John said concerning this one, were, true. And, many, believed on him there.
Now a certain man was sick, Lazarus of Bethany, of the village of Mary and Martha her sister.
Now a certain man was sick, Lazarus of Bethany, of the village of Mary and Martha her sister. And Mary was she who anointed the Lord with perfume, and wiped his feet with her hair - whose brother Lazarus was sick. read more. The sisters, therefore, sent out unto him, saying - Lord, see! he whom thou tenderly lovest, is sick. But Jesus hearing, said - This sickness, is not unto death, but for the glory of God, - that the Son of God may be glorified thereby. Now Jesus loved Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus. When, therefore, he heard that he was sick, then, indeed, he abode in the place where he was, two days. Then, after this, he saith unto the disciples - Let us be leading on into Judaea, again. The disciples say unto him - Rabbi! just now, were the Jews seeking to stone thee - and, again, goest thou thither? Jesus answered - Are there not, twelve hours, in the day? If one walk in the day, he doth no stumble, because, the light of this world, he seeth; But, if one walk in the night, he stumbleth, because, the light, is not in him. These things, he said, and, after this, he saith unto them - Lazarus, our dear friend, hath fallen asleep; but I am going, that I may awake him. The disciples, therefore, said unto him - Lord! if he have fallen asleep, he will recover. But Jesus had spoken concerning his death; whereas, they, supposed that, concerning the taking of rest in sleep, he had been speaking. Jesus, therefore, then, said unto them, plainly, - Lazarus, died; and I rejoice, for your sake - that ye may believe, - that I was not there; but let us be going unto him. Thomas, therefore, the one called Didymus, said unto his fellow-disciples - Let, us also, be going, that we may die with him. Jesus, therefore, coming, found that, four days already, had he been in the tomb. Now Bethany was near Jerusalem, about fifteen furlongs off; and, many from among the Jews, had come unto Martha and Mary, that they might console them concerning their brother. Martha, therefore, when she heard that Jesus was coming, went to meet him; but, Mary, in the house, remained sitting. Martha, therefore, said unto Jesus - Lord! if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died; And, now, I know, that, whatsoever thou shalt ask of God, God, will give unto thee. Jesus saith unto her - Thy brother shall rise. Martha saith unto him, I know that he shall rise, in the resurrection, in the last day. Jesus said unto her - I, am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth on me, even though he die, shall live again! And, no one who liveth again and believeth on me, shall in anywise die, unto times age-abiding. Believest thou this? She saith unto him - Yea, Lord! I, have believed, that, thou, art the Christ, the Son of God, - He who, into the world, should come. And this saying, she went away, and called Mary her sister, secretly, saying - The teacher, is present, and calleth thee. And, she, when she heard, was roused up quickly, and was coming unto him. Not yet, however, had Jesus come into the village, but was still in the place where, Martha, met him. The Jews, therefore, who were with her in the house and consoling her, seeing Mary, that quickly she arose and went out, followed her, supposing that she was withdrawing unto the tomb, that she might weep there. Mary, therefore, when she came where Jesus was, seeing him, fell at his feet, saying unto him - Lord! if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died. Jesus, therefore, when he saw her weeping, and the Jews who came with her weeping, was indignant in the spirit, and troubled himself, and said - Where have ye laid him? They say unto him - Lord! come and see. Jesus wept. The Jews, therefore, were saying - See! how tenderly he loved him! But, some from among them, said - Could not this man, who opened the eyes of the blind, have caused that, this one also, should not have died? Jesus, therefore, again, being indignant within himself, cometh unto the tomb. Now it was a cave, and, a stone, was lying thereon. Jesus, saith, Take ye away the stone! Martha, the sister of the deceased, saith unto him - Lord! by this time, he stinketh, for it is, four days. Jesus saith unto her - Said I not unto thee, that, if thou wouldst believe, thou shouldst see the glory of God? So they took away the stone. And, Jesus, lifted up his eyes on high, and said - Father! I thank thee, thou didst hear me: I, indeed, knew that, always, unto me, thou dost hearken; but, for the sake of the multitude standing around, I spake, - that they might believe that, thou, didst send me forth. And, these things, having said, with a loud voice, he cried out - Lazarus! Come forth! He that was dead came forth, bound feet and hands with bandages, and, his face, with a napkin, was bound about. Jesus saith unto them - Loose him, and let him go. Many therefore from among the Jews, who had come unto Mary, and gazed on what he did, believed on him but, certain from among them, went away unto the Pharisees, and told them what Jesus had done. The High-priests and Pharisees, therefore, brought together a high-council, and were saying - What are we to do, in that, this man, doeth, many signs? If we let him alone thus, all, will believe on him, and the Romans will come, and take away, both our place and nation. But, a certain one from among them, Caiaphas, being, High-priest, for that year, said unto them - Ye, know, nothing at all; nor do ye take into account, that it is profitable for you that, one man, should die for the people, and not, the whole nation, perish. This, however, from himself, he spake not, but, being, High-priest, for that year, he prophesied, that Jesus was about to die for the nation; and, not for the nation only, but that, the scattered children of God also, he might gather together into one. From that day, therefore, they took counsel, that they might put him to death. Jesus, therefore, no longer openly, was walking among the Jews, but departed thence, into the country near the desert, unto a city called, Ephraim; and, there, abode, with his disciples. Now the passover of the Jews was at hand, and many went up unto Jerusalem, out of the country, before the passover, that they might purify themselves.
Jesus, therefore, six days before the passover, came unto Bethany, where Lazarus was, whom Jesus had raised from among the dead.

Jesus, therefore, six days before the passover, came unto Bethany, where Lazarus was, whom Jesus had raised from among the dead.
And I know that, his commandment, is, life age-abiding; The things, therefore, which I speak, just as the Father hath told me, so, I speak.
Having said these things, Jesus, went out, with his disciples, across the winter-torrent of the Kedron, where was a garden, - into which he entered, he, and his disciples.
Pilate, therefore, when he heard these words, led Jesus outside, and sat down upon a raised seat, in a place called Pavement, but, in Hebrew, Gabbatha.
But, on the first day of the week, Mary the Magdalene, cometh early, while it is yet, dark, unto the tomb, - and beholdeth the stone, already taken away out of the tomb.
But, on the first day of the week, Mary the Magdalene, cometh early, while it is yet, dark, unto the tomb, - and beholdeth the stone, already taken away out of the tomb. She runneth, therefore, and cometh unto Simon Peter, and unto the other disciple whom Jesus dearly loved, and saith unto them - They have taken away the Lord out of the tomb, and we know not where they have laid him. read more. Peter, therefore, went out, and the other disciple, - and they were going unto the tomb; and the two were running together, and, the other disciple, outran Peter, and came first unto the tomb; and, stooping aside, beholdeth, lying, the linen-bandages, nevertheless, he entered not. So Simon Peter also cometh, following him, and entered into the tomb, and vieweth the linen-bandages lying, - and the napkin, which was upon his head, not, with the linen-bandages, lying, but apart, folded up into one place. Then, entered, therefore, the other disciple also, who had come first unto the tomb, and he saw and believed. For, not yet, knew they the Scripture, that he must needs, from among the dead, arise. The disciples, therefore, departed again, by themselves. Howbeit, Mary, remained standing against the tomb, outside, weeping. So then, as she wept, she stooped aside into the tomb, and beholdeth two messengers, in white garments, sitting, one at the head, and the other at the feet, where had been lying the body of Jesus. And, they, say unto her - Woman! why weepest thou? She saith unto them - They have taken away my Lord, and I know not where they have laid him. These things saying, she turned round, and seeth Jesus standing, and knew not that it was, Jesus. Jesus saith unto her - Woman! why weepest thou? Whom seekest thou? She, supposing he was, the gardener, saith unto him - Sir! If, thou, hast borne him hence, tell me where thou hast laid him; and, I, will take him away. Jesus saith unto her - Mary! She, turning saith unto him, in Hebrew - Rabboni! which meaneth, Teacher. Jesus saith unto her - Be not detaining me, for, not yet, have I ascended unto the Father; but be going unto my disciples, and say unto them - I am ascending unto my Father and your Father, and my God and your God. Mary the Magdalene cometh, bringing tidings unto the disciples - I have seen the Lord! and that these things he had said unto her. It being late, therefore, on that day, the first of the week, - and, the doors, having been made fast where the disciples were, for fear of the Jews, Jesus came, and stood in the midst, and saith unto them - Peace be unto you! and, this, saying he pointed out both his hands and his side unto them. The disciples, therefore, rejoiced, seeing the Lord. Jesus, therefore, said unto them, again, - Peace be unto you! Just as, my Father, sent me forth, I, also, send you. And, this, saying, he breathed strongly, and saith unto them - Receive ye Holy Spirit: - Whosesoever sins ye shall remit, they are remitted unto them, whosesoever ye shall retain, they are retained. But, Thomas, one of the twelve, the one called Didymus, was not with them when Jesus came. The other disciples, therefore, were saying unto him - We have seen the Lord! But, he, said unto them - Except I see, in his hands, the print of the nails, and press my finger into the print of the nails, and press my hand into his side, in nowise will I believe. And, eight days after, his disciples again were within, and Thomas with them. Jesus cometh - the doors having been made fast - and stood in the midst, and said - Peace be unto you! Then, saith he unto Thomas - Reach thy finger hither, and see my hands, and reach thy hand, and press into my side, - and become not disbelieving, but believing. Thomas answered, and said unto him - My Lord, and my God! Jesus saith unto him - Because thou hast seen me, hast thou believed? Happy, they who have not seen, and yet have believed!
Jesus saith unto him - Because thou hast seen me, hast thou believed? Happy, they who have not seen, and yet have believed!
Jesus saith unto him - Because thou hast seen me, hast thou believed? Happy, they who have not seen, and yet have believed! Many other signs, doubtless, did Jesus, in presence of the disciples, which are not written in this book;
Many other signs, doubtless, did Jesus, in presence of the disciples, which are not written in this book; but, these, are written, that ye may believe that, Jesus, is, the Christ, the Son of God; and that, believing, ye may have life in his name.
After these things, Jesus manifested himself again, unto the disciples, by the sea of Tiberias; and manifested himself, thus: - There were together, Simon Peter, and Thomas, who was called Didymus, and Nathanael, who was from Cana of Galilee, and the sons of Zebedee, and, two other, of his disciples. read more. Simon Peter saith unto them - I go a fishing! They say unto him - We also, go with thee! They went out, and got up into the boat, and during that night, they caught nothing. But, morning by this time drawing on, Jesus stood upon the beach; nevertheless, the disciples knew not that it was, Jesus. Jesus, therefore, saith unto them - Children! perhaps ye have nothing to eat? They answered him - No. And, he, said unto them - Cast the net, on the right side of the boat, - and ye shall find. They cast, therefore; and, no longer, were they able, to draw, it, for the multitude of the fishes. That disciple, therefore, whom Jesus loved, saith unto Peter - It is, the Lord! Simon Peter, therefore, hearing that it was the Lord, girded about him, his upper garment, - for he was naked; and cast himself into the sea; but, the other disciples, came, by the little boat, - for they were not farther from the land than about two hundred cubits off, - dragging the net of fishes. So, when they got out upon the land, they behold a coal fire lying, and fish lying over, and bread. Jesus saith unto them - Bring of the fish which ye caught just now. Simon Peter, therefore, went on board, and drew the net on to the land, - full of large fishes, a hundred and fifty-three; and, though they were so many, the net was not rent.
Simon Peter, therefore, went on board, and drew the net on to the land, - full of large fishes, a hundred and fifty-three; and, though they were so many, the net was not rent. Jesus saith unto them - Come! break your fast. Not one, of the disciples was venturing to ask him, Who art, thou? knowing that it was, the Lord. read more. Jesus cometh, and taketh the bread, and giveth unto them; and the fish, in like manner. This, already, is the third time Jesus was manifested unto the disciples, after he was raised from among the dead. When, therefore, they had broken their fast, Jesus saith unto Simon Peter - Simon, son of John! lovest thou me more than these? He saith unto him - Yea, Lord! thou, knowest that I am fond of thee, he saith unto him - Be feeding my lambs. He saith unto him, again, the second time - Simon, son of John! lovest thou me? He saith unto him - Yea, Lord! thou, knowest that I am fond of thee. He saith unto him - Be shepherding my sheep. He saith unto him, the third time - Simon, son of John! art thou fond of me? Peter was grieved, that he said unto him, the third time, Art thou fond of me? and he said unto him - Lord! all things, thou, knowest: thou perceivest that I am fond of thee. Jesus saith unto him - Be feeding my sheep. Verily, verily, I say unto thee - When thou wast younger, thou usedst to gird thyself, and to walk whither thou didst choose; but, when thou shalt become aged, thou shalt stretch out thy hands, and, another, shall gird thee, and bear thee, whither thou dost not choose. Now, this, he said, signifying, by what manner of death, he should glorify God. And, having said this, he saith unto him - Be following me. Peter, turning about, beholdeth the disciple whom Jesus loved, following, - who also reclined during the supper upon his breast, and said - Lord, who is it that is delivering thee up? Peter, therefore, seeing, this one, saith unto Jesus - Lord! and, this one, what? Jesus saith unto him - If I will that, he, remain until I come, what is that to thee? Thou, be following me. This word, therefore, went forth unto the brethren, that, that disciple, should not die. Howbeit, Jesus did not tell him, he should not die; but, If I will that, he, remain until I come, what is that to thee? This, is the disciple who beareth witness concerning these things, and who hath written these things; and we know that, true, is, his witness. Now there are many other things also, which Jesus did, which, indeed, if they were to be written one by one, not even the world, itself, I suppose, would contain, the books which must be written.
