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.

He says to Him, Feed my sheeplings. Truly, truly, I say unto you, When you were young, you girded yourself, and walked about where you wished: but when you get old, you will reach forth your hands, and another will lead you, where you do not wish.

Then that word went out to the brethren that that disciple does not die. And Jesus did not say to him, that he does not die; but, If I wish him to tarry until I come.

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.

On the third day there was a marriage in Cana of Galilee; and the mother of Jesus was there:
After this He and His mother, and His brothers and His disciples went down into Capernaum, and abode there not many days. And the passover of the Jews were nigh, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
Jesus responded and said to her, Every one drinking of this water shall thirst again:
And Jesus knowing that they are about to come and take Him, that they may make Him king, departs again into the mountain Himself alone.
After these things Jesus walked about in Galilee: for He was not willing to walk about in Judea, because the Jews were seeking to kill Him.

These are not the words of a demonized man. Whether is a demon able to open the eyes of the blind? And it was the feast of dedication in Jerusalem: and it was winter; read more. and Jesus was walking in the temple in Solomon's porch. Then the Jews surrounded Him, and said to Him, How long do you take away our soul? If thou art the Christ, tell us openly. Jesus responded, I told you, and you do not believe: the works which I do in the name of my Father, these testify concerning me. But you do not believe, because you are not of my sheep. My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: and I give to them eternal life; and they shall never perish, and no one shall pluck them out of my hand. The Father, who has given them unto me, is greater than all; and no one is able to pluck them out of the hand of the Father. I and the Father are one. Again the Jews took up stones, that they might stone Him. Jesus responded to them, I have shown unto you many beautiful works from the Father; on account of which of these do you stone me? The Jews responded to Him, We do not stone Thee for good work, but for blasphemy; because Thou, being a man, art making Thyself God. And Jesus responded to them, Is it not written in your law, that I said, Ye are gods? If He called them gods, to whom the word of God came (and the Scripture is not able to be broken), whom the Father sanctified and sent into the world, do you say; Thou blasphemest; because I said, I am the Son of God? If I do not the works of my Father, believe me not. If I do, believe not me, believe the works: that you may know and understand that the Father is in Me, and I in the Father. They sought again to take Him: and He passed out of their hand. And again He departed beyond the Jordan into the place where John was first baptizing; and remained there: and many came to Hint, and said, that John indeed did no miracle; but all things so many as John spoke concerning this One are true. And many believed on Him there.
And a certain one was sick, Lazarus from Bethany, of the village of Mary and Martha her sister.
And a certain one was sick, Lazarus from Bethany, of the village of Mary and Martha her sister. And Mary was the one anointing the Lord with myrrh, and wiping His feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick. read more. Then the sisters sent to Him, saying, Lord, behold the one whom thou lovest is sick. And Jesus hearing said, This sickness is not unto death, but for the glory of God, so that the Son of God may be glorified through it. Jesus loved Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus, with Divine love. Therefore when He heard that he was sick, He then remained two days in the place in which He was. Then after this He says to the disciples, Let us go again unto Judea. The disciples said to Him, Master, the Jews were but now seeking to stone thee; dost thou go hither again? Jesus responded, Are there not twelve hours of the day? If any one may walk in the day, he does not stumble, because he sees the light of this world: if any one may walk in the night, he stumbles, because the light is not in him. He spoke these things: and after this He says to them, Our friend Lazarus is asleep; and I go that I may awaken him. Then the disciples said to Him, Lord, if he is asleep, he will be saved. But Jesus spoke concerning his death: and they thought that He spoke concerning the rest of sleep. Then however Jesus spoke to them openly, Lazarus is dead, and I rejoice on account of you that I was not there, in order that you may believe; but let us go to him. Then Thomas, called Didymus, said to his fellow-disciples; Let us go too, that we may die with Him. Then Jesus having come, found him having four days in the sepulcher. But Bethany was near Jerusalem, about fifteen furlongs. And many of the Jews had come to Martha and Mary, that they might comfort them concerning their brother. Then Martha, when she heard that Jesus comes, went to meet Him: and Mary sat in the house. Then Martha said to Jesus, Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died. And now I know that, whatsoever things you may ask of God, God will give to you. Jesus says to her, Thy brother will rise again. Martha says to Him, I know he will rise again in the resurrection in the last day. Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection and the life; the one believing on me, though he may die, shall live: and every one living and believing on me can never die: do you believe this? She says to Him, Yes, Lord: I believe that thou art the Christ, the Son of God, come into the world. And having said this, she departed, and called her sister Mary, speaking secretly, The Teacher is present, and calls you. She, when she heard, arises quickly, and comes to Him: Jesus had not yet come into the village, but was yet in the place where Martha met Him. Then the Jews being with her in the house, and comforting her, seeing Mary, that she arose up quickly and went out, followed her, thinking that she goes to the tomb in order that she may weep there. Then Mary, when she came where Jesus was, seeing Him, fell at His feet, saying to Him, Lord, if Thou hadst been here, my brother had not died. Then when Jesus saw her weeping, and the Jews, having come with her, weeping, He groaned in spirit, and troubled Himself, and said, Where have you laid him? They say to Him, Lord, come and see. Jesus wept. Then the Jews were saying, Behold, how He loved him as a friend! And some of them said, Was not this One, having opened the eyes of the blind, able to bring it to pass, that he indeed should not die? Then Jesus again groaning in Himself comes to the tomb; and it was a cave, and a stone was laid upon it. Jesus says; Take away the stone. Martha, the sister of the dead, says to Him; Lord, already he smelleth: for he is dead four days. Jesus says to her; Did I not tell thee, that, if thou canst believe, thou shalt see the glory of God? Then they took away the stone; and Jesus lifted up His eyes, and said, Father, I thank thee, because Thou hast heard Me. I know that Thou dost always hear Me; but on account of the multitude standing around I spoke, in order that they might believe that Thou didst send Me. And speaking these things, He cried out with a great voice, Lazarus, come forth. And the dead came out, bound as to his feet and hands with graveclothes; and his face bound round with a napkin. Jesus says to them, Loose him, and let him go. Then many of the Jews, having come to Mary and seeing the things which He did, believed on Him: but certain ones of them went away to the Pharisees, and told them the things which Jesus did. Then the chief priests and Pharisees assembled the Sanhedrin, and continued to say, What are we doing? because this man is doing many miracles. If we thus let Him alone, all will believe on Him: and the Romans will come and take away our place and nation. But one of them, Caiaphas, being high priest that year, said to them, You know nothing, you do not consider that it is profitable to you, that one man may die for the people, and the whole nation perish not. And he spoke this not of himself, but being high priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus was about to die for the nation. And not only for the nation, but that He may gather into one the children of God dispersed abroad. Then from that day they passed the verdict, that they would kill Him. Therefore Jesus walked no more publicly among the Jews, but went away thence into the country near the desert, into a city called Ephraim; and there tarried with His disciples. And the passover of the Jews was nigh, and many came up out of the country into Jerusalem before the passover, in order that they might purify themselves.
Then Jesus, six days before the passover came into Bethany, where Lazarus, whom Jesus raised from the dead, was,

Jesus saying these things, went out with His disciples beyond the brook of Kidron, where there was a garden, into which He and His disciples came.
Then Pilate hearing these words, led out Jesus, and sat down on the tribunal, in the place called Pavement, but in Hebrew, Gabbatha.

On the first of the Sabbaths Mary Magdalene comes to the sepulcher early in the morning, it being yet dark, and sees the stone having been rolled from the sepulcher. Then she runs, and comes to Simon Peter, and to the other disciple, whom Jesus loved, and says to them, They have taken away the Lord out of the sepulcher, and we know not where they have placed Him. read more. Then Peter and the other disciple came out, and they were coming to the sepulcher. And the two were running simultaneously: and the other disciple was running before more rapidly than Peter, and came first to the sepulcher. John looking in sees the grave-clothes lying; and did not come in. Then Simon Peter, following him, he came into the sepulcher; and sees the grave-clothes lying, and the napkin, which was on His head, not lying with the grave-clothes, but separate in one place, having been rolled up. Then the other disciple also came in, the one having come first to the sepulcher, and saw, and believed; for they did not yet understand the Scripture, That it behooved Him to rise from the dead. Then the disciples departed again to their own comrades. And Mary was standing at the sepulcher without, weeping: then while she was weeping, she looked into the sepulcher; and sees two angels sitting in white robes, one at the head, and one at the feet, where the body of Jesus lay. They say to her, Woman, why do you weep? She says to them, Because they have taken away my Lord, and I know not where they have placed Him. Saying these words, she turned backward, and sees Jesus standing, and did not know that He is Jesus. Jesus says to her, Woman, why are you weeping? whom are you seeking? She, thinking that He is the gardener, says to Him, Sir, if you have taken Him away, tell me where you have placed Him, and I will take Him. Jesus says to her, Mary: she turning, says to Him in Hebrew, Rabboni, which is called Teacher. Jesus says to her, Cling not to me; for I have not ascended to my Father: but go to my brethren, and tell them, I ascend to my Father and your Father, and my God and your God. Mary Magdalene comes proclaiming to the disciples, I have seen the Lord; and He spoke these things to her. Then it being evening, on that day, on the first day of the week, and the doors being shut where the disciples were assembled, on account of the fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood in their midst, and says to them, Peace be unto you. And saying this, He shewed them His hands and His side. Then the disciples rejoiced, seeing the Lord. And Jesus said to them again, Peace be unto you: as the Father hath sent me, I also send you. And saying this, He breathed on them, and says to them, Receive ye the Holy Ghost. Whose sins you may remit, are remitted unto them; whose sins you may retain, have been retained. And Thomas, one of the twelve, the one called Didymus, was not with them when Jesus came. Then the other disciples said to him, We have seen the Lord. And he said to them, Unless I may see the print of the nails in His hand, and thrust my finger into the place of the nails, and thrust my hand into His side, I will not believe. And after eight days His disciples were again within, and Thomas was with them. Jesus comes, the doors being shut, and stood in the midst, and said, Peace be unto you. Then He says to Thomas, Bring hither your finger, and see my hands, and bring your hand, and cast it into my side: and be not faithless, but believing. Thomas responded and said to Him, My Lord and my God. Jesus says to him, Because you have seen me, you have believed: happy are those not seeing, and believing.
Jesus says to him, Because you have seen me, you have believed: happy are those not seeing, and believing.
Jesus says to him, Because you have seen me, you have believed: happy are those not seeing, and believing. Indeed then Jesus also did many other miracles in the presence of His disciples, which have not been written in this book;
Indeed then Jesus also did many other miracles in the presence of His disciples, which have not been written in this book; and these have been written in order that you may believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God; and in order that believing you may have life through His name.
After these things, Jesus again manifested Himself to His disciples, at the Sea of Tiberias; and He thus manifested Himself. Simon Peter, and Thomas called Didymus, and Nathanael the one from Cana of Galilee, and the sons of Zebedee, and two others of His disciples, were together. read more. Simon Peter says to them, I go to fish. They say to Him, We also go along with you. They went out, and entered into a ship, and that night caught nothing. And it being now morning, Jesus stood on the shore: the disciples did not know that He is Jesus. Then Jesus says to them; Little children, whether have you any meat? They respond to Him, No. He says to them, Cast the net to the right side of the ship, and you will find: then they cast it, and were not able to draw it on account of the multitude of the fishes. Then that disciple whom Jesus loved said to Peter, He is the Lord. Then Simon Peter hearing that He is the Lord, girded on his fishing-cloak (for he was unclothed), and cast Himself into the sea: and the other disciples came in the ship (for they were not far from the land, but about two hundred cubits), drawing the net of the fishes. Then when they came to the land, they see fire lying, and fish and bread lying on it. Jesus said to them, Take from the fishes which you now caught. And Simon Peter came up, and drew the net to the land, full of a hundred and fifty-three large fishes: and there being so many yet the net was not broken.
And Simon Peter came up, and drew the net to the land, full of a hundred and fifty-three large fishes: and there being so many yet the net was not broken. Jesus says to them, Come, take breakfast. But no one of the disciples dared to ask Him, Who art thou? knowing that He is the Lord. read more. Jesus comes, and takes bread, and gives it to them, and fish likewise. And this third time Jesus was already manifested to His disciples, having risen from the dead. Then when they took breakfast, Jesus says to Simon Peter; Simon, the son of Jonah, dost thou love me with divine love more than these? He says to Him, Yes, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee as a friend. He says to him; Feed my lambs. Again He says to him a second time, Simon, the son of Jonah, do you love me with divine love? He says to Him; Thou knowest that I love thee as a friend. He says to him; Shepherdize my sheeplings. He says to him a third time; Simon, the son of Jonah, do you love me as a friend? Peter was grieved, because He said to him the third time, Do you love me as a friend? And he says to Him, Lord, thou knowest all things; and thou dost understand that I love thee as a friend. He says to Him, Feed my sheeplings. Truly, truly, I say unto you, When you were young, you girded yourself, and walked about where you wished: but when you get old, you will reach forth your hands, and another will lead you, where you do not wish. And He spoke this, signifying by what death he shall glorify God. And having spoken this, He says to him, Follow me. And Peter turning sees the disciple, whom Jesus loved, following; who also leaned upon His breast in the supper, and said; Lord, who is the one having betrayed thee? Then Peter seeing him says to Jesus; Lord, but what shall he do? And Jesus says to him, If I wish him to tarry until I come, what is that to thee? Then that word went out to the brethren that that disciple does not die. And Jesus did not say to him, that he does not die; but, If I wish him to tarry until I come. This is the disciple witnessing concerning these things, and having written the same: and we know that his testimony is true. OMITTED TEXT
