Easton
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.

What we have seen and heard we announce to you, that ye also might have communion with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ. And these we write to you, that your joy might be filled up.

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.

And the third day was a marriage in Cana of Galilee; and the mother of Jesus was there:
After this he went down to Capernaum, he, and his mother, and his brethren, and his disciples: and they remained there not many days. And the pascha of the Jews was near, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem,

Others said, These are not the words of a demon. A demon cannot open the eyes of the blind. And there was the festival of inauguration among the Jerusalemites, and it was winter.. read more. And Jesus walked in the temple in Solomon's porch. Then the Jews surrounded him, and said to him, How long takest thou away our soul? If thou art Christ, say to us with freedom of speech. Jesus answered them, I said to you, and ye believe not: the works which I do in my Father's name, these testify of me. But ye believe not, for ye are not of my sheep, as I said to you. My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me. And I give them eternal life; and they shall never perish, and no one shall snatch them out of my hand. My Father, who has given to me, is greater than all; . and no one can snatch them out of my Father's hand. I and my Father are one. Then again lifted up the Jews stones that they might stone him. Jesus Answered them, Many good works I shewed you from my Father; for which of these works do ye stone me The Jews answered him, saying, For a good work we stone thee not; but for blasphemy; and that thou, being man, makest thyself God. Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said; Ye are gods? If he called them gods, to whom the word of God came, and the writing cannot be loosed; Whom the Father consecrated., and sent into the world, say ye that thou blasphemest; because I said, I am the Son of God If I do not the works of my Father, believe me not. And if I do, though ye believe me not, believe the works: that ye might know, and believe, that the Father in me, and I in him. Then sought they again to take him: and he went out from their hand, And again he departed beyond Jordan to the place where John was first immersing; and he remained there. And many came to him, and said, That truly John did no sign: but all which John said of him was true. And many believed in him there.
And a certain Lazarus was sick, from Bethany, of the town of Mary And Martha her sister.
And a certain Lazarus was sick, from Bethany, of the town of Mary And Martha her sister. (And Mary was she having anointed the Lord with perfumed oil, and wiped his feet with her hairs, whose brother Lazarus was sick.) read more. Then sent the sisters to him, saying, Lord, behold, he whom thou lovest is sick. And Jesus having heard, said, This sickness is not to death, but for the glory of God, that by it the Son of God be honoured. And Jesus loved Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus. When therefore he heard that he is sick, then indeed he remained in the place in which he was two days. Then after this he says to his disciples, Let us go into Judea again. The disciples say to him, Rabbi, now the Jews sought to stone thee; and retirest thou there again? Jesus answered, Are there not twelve hours of the day.? If any walk in the day, he stumbles not, for he sees the light of this world. But if any walk in the night, he stumbles, for light is not in him. These things said he: and after this he says to them, Lazarus our friend has been set to sleep; but I go, that I might waken him. Then said his disciples, Lord, if he has been set to sleep, he shall be saved. And Jesus spake of his death: but these supposed that he speaks of the repose of sleep. Then therefore Jesus said to them with freedom of speech, Lazarus is dead. And I rejoice for you, that ye might believe, that I was not there; but let us go to him. Then said Thomas, called Didymus, to his fellow disciples, Let us also go, that we might die with him. Then Jesus, having come, found him having four days already in the tomb. And Bethany was near Jerusalem, about fifteen stadia. And many of the Jews were come to them about Martha and Many, that they might console them for their brother. Then Martha, when she heard that Jesus comes, met him: and Mary sat in the house. Then said Martha to Jesus, Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died. But now I also know, that whatever thou shalt ask of God, God will give thee. Jesus says to her, Thy brother shall arise. Martha says to him, I know that he shall rise at the rising up in the last day. Jesus said to her, I am the rising up, and life: he believing in me, though he die, shall live. And all living and believing in me should never die. Believest thou this? She says to him, Yes, Lord: I have believed that thou art Christ, the Son of God, he coming into the world. And having said these, she departed and called Mary her sister secretly, having said, The Teacher is come, and calls thee. She, when she heard, arises quickly, and comes to him. And Jesus had not yet come into the town, but was in the place where Martha met him. Then the Jews being in the house with her, and consoling her, having seen Mary, that she rose quickly and went forth, followed her, saying, That she retires to the tomb, that she might weep there. Then Mary, when she came where Jesus was, seeing him, fell at his feet, saying to him, Lord, if thou wert here, my brother had not died. Then Jesus, when he saw her weeping, and the Jews weeping having come with her, was heavy in spirit, and troubled himself, And said, Where have ye laid him? They say to him, Lord, come and see. Jesus wept. Then said the Jews, See how he loved him I And certain of them said, Could not he having opened the eyes of the blind, have made that this should not die? Then Jesus again being heavy in himself, comes to the tomb. 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, he already smells: for it is the fourth day. Jesus says to her, Said I not to thee, if thou shouldest believe, thou shalt see the glory of God Then took they away the stone where the dead was laid. And Jesus lifted up his eyes above, and said, Father, I return thee thanks that thou didst hear me. And I knew that thou always hearest me: but for the crowd standing round I said, that they might believe that thou didst send me. And having said these, he cried out with a great voice, Lazarus, come out. And the dead came out, bound feet and hands with bandages; and his face was bound with a napkin. Jesus says to them, Loose him, and let him retire. Then many of the Jews, having come to Mary, and seeing what Jesus did, believed in him. But certain of them departed to the Pharisees, and said to them what Jesus did. Then gathered together the chief priests and Pharisees a council, and said, What do we? for this man does many signs. If we let him thus go, all will believe on him: and the Romans will come and take away also our place and nation. And a certain one of them, Caiaphas, being chief priest that year, said to them, Ye know nothing, Neither turn ye in your thoughts that it is profitable to us, that one man die for the people, and the nation perish not. And this he said not of himself: but being high priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus was about to die for the nation; And not for the nation alone, but that also the children of God, scattered, should be gathered into one. Then from that day they counselled together that they might kill him. Jesus then walked no more with freedom of speech among the Jews; but departed thence to the country near the desert, to a city called Ephraim, and there he tarried with his disciples. And the Jews' pascha was near: and many went up to Jerusalem out of the country before the pascha, that they might purify themselves.
Then Jesus, six days before the pascha, came to Bethany, where was Lazarus the dead, whom he raised from the dead.

Jesus having said these, went out with his disciples beyond the torrent Kedron, where was a garden, into which he came, he and his disciples.
Then Pilate having heard, brought Jesus without, and sat upon the judgment seat, in a place called Paved with ornamental stones; in Hebraic, Gabbatha.
And in one of the sabbaths comes Mary Magdalene in the morning, there yet being darkness, to the tomb, and sees the stone taken away from the tomb.
And in one of the sabbaths comes Mary Magdalene in the morning, there yet being darkness, to the tomb, and sees the stone taken away from the tomb. Then she runs, and comes to Simon Peter, and to the other disciple whom Jesus loved, and says to them, They took away the Lord from the tomb; and we know not where they laid him. read more. Peter then came forth, and the other disciple, and they came to the tomb. And they two ran together: and the other disciple ran before, swifter than Peter, and came first to the tomb. And having stood stooping, he sees the linen bandages lying; yet he did not go in. Then comes Simon Peter following him, and he came into the tomb, and sees the linen bandages lying, And the napkin, which was upon his head, not lying with the linen bandages, but separately inwrapped in one place. Then, therefore, went in also the other disciple, having first come to the tomb, and he saw, and believed. For not yet knew they the writing, that he must rise from the dead. Then went away the disciples again by themselves. And Mary stood near the tomb weeping without: therefore as she wept, she stood stooping into the tomb, And sees two messengers in white, sitting, one at the head, and one at the feet, where the body of Jesus was laid. And they say to her, Woman, why weepest thou? She says to them, Because they took away my Lord, and I know not where they laid him. And having said these, she was turned back, and sees Jesus standing, and she knew not that it is Jesus. Jesus says to her, Woman, why weepest thou a whom seekest thou? She, thinking that it is the gardener, says to him, Lord, if thou didst bear him away, say where thou bast laid him, and I will take him away. Jesus says to her, Mary. She having turned, says to him, Rabboni; which is called, Teacher. Jesus says to her, Touch me not; for I have not yet ascended to my Father: and go thou to my brethren, and say to them, I ascend to my Father, and your Father; to my God, and your God. Mary Magdalene comes announcing to the disciples that she has seen the Lord, and he said these to her. Then it being evening, in that one day of the sabbaths, and the doors shut where the disciples were gathered together for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood in the midst, and says to them, Peace to you. And having said this, he showed them his hands, and his side. Then the disciples rejoiced, having seen the Lord. Then said Jesus again to them, Peace to you: as the Father has sent me, I also send you. And having said this, he inspired, and says to them, Receive the Holy Spirit: Whose soever sins ye remit, they are remitted to them: whose soever ye retain, they have been retained. And Thomas, one of the twelve, called Didymus, was not with them when Jesus came. Then said the other disciples to him, We have seen the Lord. And he said to them, Except I see in his hands the mark of the nails, and put my finger in the mark of the nails, and put my hand into his side, I will not believe. And after eight days again were his disciples within, and Thomas with them: Jesus comes, the doors shut, and said, Peace to you. Then says he to Thomas, Bring hither thy finger, and see my hands; and bring thy hand, and put into my side: and be not unbelieving, but believing. And Thomas answered and said to him, My Lord and my God. Jesus says to him, Because thou bast seen me, Thomas, thou hast believed: happy they not having seen, and having believed.
Jesus says to him, Because thou bast seen me, Thomas, thou hast believed: happy they not having seen, and having believed.

Then truly many other signs did Jesus also before his disciples, which are not written in this small book: But these have been written, that ye might believe that Jesus is Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life in his name.
After these things Jesus again manifested himself to the disciples at the sea of Tiberias and so he made manifest. There were together Simon Peter, and Thomas called Didymus, and nathanael from Cana of Galilee, and they of Zebedee, and two other of his disciples. read more. Simon Peter says to them, I retire to fish. They say to him, We also go with thee. They came forth, and went up into the ship quickly; and in that night they caught nothing. And morning being already come, Jesus stood on the sea-shore: yet the disciples knew not that it is Jesus. Then says Jesus to them, Children, have ye nothing cooked to eat? They answered him, No. And he said to them, Cast the net to the right parts of the ship, and ye shall find. Therefore they cast, and were no more able to draw it, from the multitude of fishes. Then that disciple says, whom Jesus loved, to Peter, It is the Lord. Then Simon Peter having heard that it is the Lord, girded round the upper garment, (for he was naked,) and cast himself into the sea. And the other disciples came in a little ship; (for they were not far from land, but as from two hundred cubits) dragging the net of fishes. When therefore they came away to the land, they see a heap of burning coals laid, and little fish laid upon, and bread. Jesus says to them, Bring ye from the little fishes which ye have now caught. Simon Peter went up, and drew the net upon the earth, full of great fishes, an hundred and fifty-three: and being so many, the net was not split.
Simon Peter went up, and drew the net upon the earth, full of great fishes, an hundred and fifty-three: and being so many, the net was not split. And Jesus says to them, Come, dine. And none of the disciples dared to inquire of him, Who art thou? knowing that it is the Lord. read more. Then comes Jesus, and takes bread, and gives them, and fish likewise. This already the third time Jesus was manifested to his disciples, having risen from the dead. Then, when they had dined, Jesus says to Simon Peter, Simon of Jonas, lovest thou me more than these? He says to him, Yes, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. He says to him, Feed my lambs. Jesus says to him again the second time, Simon of Jonas, lovest thou me? He says to him, Yes, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. He says to him, Feed my sheep. He says to him the third time, Simon of Jonas, lovest thou me? Peter was grieved that he said the third time, Lovest thou me? And he said to him, Lord, thou knowest all; thou knowest that I love thee. Jesus says to him, Feed my sheep. Truly, truly, I say to thee, when thou west younger, thou didst gird thyself and walk where thou wouldest;and when thou shalt grow old, thou shalt stretch out thy hands, and another shall gird thee, and bring thee where thou wilt not. And this he said, signifying by what death he shall honour God. And having said this, he says to him, Follow me. And Peter having turned back, sees the disciple whom Jesus loved following, who also reclined in the supper upon his breast, and said, Lord, who is he delivering thee up Peter having seen him, says to Jesus, Lord, and what this Jesus says to him, If I will him to remain till I come, what to thee? follow me. Then went out the word to the brethren, That this disciple dies not: and Jesus said not to him, That he dies not; but, If I will him to remain till I come, what to thee? This is the disciple testifying of these, and having written this: and we know that his testimony is true. And there are also many other things which Jesus did, which, if they be written every one, neither do I suppose the world itself will receive the books written. Amen.
