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.

The true light, which enlighteneth every man, was coming into the world.

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.

Others said, These are not the words of one that hath a demon. Can a demon open the eyes of the blind? And the feast of the dedication came at Jerusalem. It was winter; read more. and Jesus was walking in the temple, in Solomons porch. Then came the Jews around him, and said to him, How long dost thou hold our minds in suspense? If thou art the Christ, tell us plainly. Jesus answered them, I have told you, and ye do not believe. The works that I do in my Fathers name, these bear witness of me. But ye do not believe, because 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 everlasting life; and they shall never perish, nor shall any one tear them out of my hand. That which my Father hath given me is greater than all; and no one is able to tear [them] out of the Fathers hand. I and the Father are one. The Jews again took up stones to stone him. Jesus answered them, Many good works have I shown you from the Father; for which of those works do ye stone me? The Jews answered him, Not for a good work do we stone thee, but for blasphemy, and because thou, who art a 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 Scripture cannot be made void, say ye of him whom the Father sanctified, and sent into the world, Thou blasphemest, because I said, I am the Son of God? If I do not the works of my Father, believe me not. But if I do them, though ye believe not me, believe the works; that ye may learn and know that the Father is in me, and I in the Father. They sought therefore to seize him; and he went forth out of their hands. And he went away again beyond the Jordan, to the place where John was at first baptizing; and there he abode. And many came to him, and said, John indeed wrought no sign; but everything that John said of this man was true. And many believed in him there.
But there was a certain man sick, Lazarus of Bethany, the town of Mary and her sister Martha.
But there was a certain man sick, Lazarus of Bethany, the town of Mary and her sister Martha. It was the Mary who anointed the Lord with ointment, and wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick. read more. The sisters therefore sent to him, saying, Lord, behold, he whom thou lovest is sick. And Jesus hearing this said, This sickness is not unto death, but for the glory of God, that the Son of God may be glorified through it. Now Jesus loved Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus. When therefore he heard that he was sick, he remained in the place where he was two days. Then after this he saith to the disciples, Let us go into Judaea again. The disciples say to him, Rabbi, the Jews but just now were seeking to stone thee, and goest thou thither again? Jesus answered, Are there not twelve hours in the day? If a man walk in the day, he stumbleth not, because he seeth the light of this world; but if a man walk in the night, he stumbleth; because the light is not in him. This he spoke, and afterwards said to them, Our friend Lazarus hath fallen asleep; but I go that I may awake him out of sleep. The disciples therefore said to him, Lord, if he hath fallen asleep, he will recover. But Jesus had spoken of his death; but they thought that he spoke of the taking of rest in sleep. Then therefore Jesus said to them plainly: Lazarus is dead. And I am glad for your sakes that I was not there; that ye may believe; but let us go to him. Then said Thomas, who was called Didymus, to his fellowdisciples, Let us also go, that we may die with him. Having come, therefore, Jesus found that he had been four days in the tomb. Now Bethany was near Jerusalem, about fifteen furlongs off; and many of the Jews had come to Martha and Mary, to comfort them concerning their brother. Martha therefore, as soon as she heard that Jesus was coming, went to meet him; but Mary continued sitting in the house. Then said Martha to Jesus, Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died; and even now I know that whatever thou shalt ask of God, God will give it thee. Jesus saith to her, Thy brother will rise again. Martha saith to him, I know that he will rise again in the resurrection at the last day. Jesus said to her, I am the resurrection and the life: he that believeth in me, though he have died, will live; and whoever liveth and believeth in me will never die. Believest thou this? She saith to him, Yea, Lord; I believe that thou art the Christ, the Son of God, he who was to come into the world. And having said this, she went away, and called Mary her sister secretly, saying, The Teacher is here and calleth for thee. She, when she heard this, riseth quickly and cometh to him. Now Jesus had not yet come into the town, but was still in the place where Martha met him. The Jews then who were with her in the house and comforting her, when they saw that Mary rose up hastily and went out, followed her, thinking that she was going to the tomb to weep there. Then Mary, when she came where Jesus was, as soon as she saw him fell down at his feet, saying to him, Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died. Jesus therefore when he saw her weeping, and the Jews also weeping who came with her, was greatly moved in his spirit, and much troubled, and said, Where have ye laid him? They say to him, Lord, come and see. Jesus wept. The Jews therefore said, See, how he loved him! But some of them said, Could not he, who opened the eyes of the blind man, have also caused that this man should not have died? Jesus therefore, again greatly moved within himself, cometh to the tomb. It was a cave, and a stone lay against it. Jesus saith, Take away the stone. Martha, the sister of him that was dead, saith to him, Lord, by this time the body is offensive; for he hath been dead four days. Jesus saith to her, Did I not tell thee, that if thou wouldst believe, thou shouldst see the glory of God? They therefore took away the stone. And Jesus lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, Father! I thank thee that thou hast heard me. Yet I knew that thou hearest me always; but for the sake of the multitude standing around I said it, that they might believe that thou didst send me. And having thus spoken, he cried with a loud voice, Lazarus, come forth! He that was dead came forth, bound hand and foot with graveclothes; and his face was bound about with a napkin. Jesus saith to them, Loose him, and let him go. Many of the Jews therefore who had come to Mary, and had seen what he did, believed in him. But some of them went away to the Pharisees, and told them what Jesus had done. Therefore the chief priests and the Pharisees gathered a council, and said, What are we to do, seeing that this man worketh many signs? If we thus let him alone, all will believe in him; and the Romans will come, and take away both our place and nation. And a certain one of them, Caiaphas, being highpriest that year, said to them, Ye know nothing at all; nor do ye consider that it is expedient for us that one man die for the people, and not the whole nation perish. And this he spoke not from himself; but being highpriest that year he prophesied that Jesus was about to die for the nation; and not for the nation only, but that he might also gather together in one body the children of God that are scattered abroad. Therefore from that day forth they consulted together to put him to death. Jesus therefore no longer walked openly among the Jews, but departed thence to the country near the wilderness, to a city called Ephraim, and there abode with the disciples. And the passover of the Jews was at hand; and many went out of the country up to Jerusalem before the passover, to purify themselves.
Jesus, therefore, six days before the passover, came to Bethany, where Lazarus was, whom Jesus raised from the dead.

and I know that what he hath committed to me is everlasting life. What I speak therefore, I speak as the Father hath directed me.
When Jesus had spoken these words, he went forth with his disciples across the brook Kedron, where was a garden, into which he entered with his disciples.
When therefore Pilate heard these words, he brought Jesus forth, and sat down on the judgmentseat, in a place called the Pavement, but in Hebrew, Gabbatha.
But on the first day of the week Mary the Magdalene cometh early, while it was yet dark, to the tomb, and seeth that the stone had been taken away from the tomb.
But on the first day of the week Mary the Magdalene cometh early, while it was yet dark, to the tomb, and seeth that the stone had been taken away from the tomb. She runneth therefore, and cometh to Simon Peter, and to the other disciple, whom Jesus loved, and saith to 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 forth, and the other disciple, and they set out for the tomb. And they ran both together; and the other disciple outran Peter, and came first to the tomb. And stooping down, he seeth the linen cloths lying; but he did not go in. Then cometh also Simon Peter following him, and he went into the tomb; and he beholdeth the linen cloths lying, and the napkin that was about his head, not lying with the linen cloths, but folded up in a place by itself. Then therefore went in also the other disciple, who came first to the tomb; and he saw, and believed. For not even yet did they know the Scripture, that he must rise from the dead. So the disciples went away again to their home. But Mary was standing without by the tomb weeping. And as she wept, she stooped down into the tomb, and beholdeth two angels in white sitting, one at the head, and one at the feet, where the body of Jesus had lain. And they say to her, Woman, why dost thou weep? She saith to them, Because they have taken away my Lord, and I know not where they have laid him. Having said this, she turned back, and beheld Jesus standing; and knew not that it was Jesus. Jesus saith to her, Woman, why dost thou weep? whom dost thou seek? She, supposing that it was the gardener, saith to him, Sir, if thou hast borne him hence, tell me where thou hast laid him, and I will take him away. Jesus saith to her, Mary! She turned and saith to him in Hebrew, Rabboni! Which signifieth, Teacher! Jesus saith to her, Touch me not; for I have not yet ascended to the Father; but go to my brethren, and say to them, I ascend to my Father and your Father, and my God and your God. Mary the Magdalene cometh, bringing word to the disciples that she had seen the Lord, and that he had said these things to her. When therefore it was evening on that day, which was the first day of the week, and the doors where the disciples were had been shut for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood in the midst, and said to them, Peace be to you! And having said this, he showed them his hands and his side. The disciples therefore were glad, when they saw the Lord. Then he said to them again, Peace be to you! As the Father hath sent me, I also send you. And having said this, he breathed on them, and saith to them, Receive the Holy Spirit. Whosever sins ye remit, they are remitted to them; whosever ye retain, they are retained. But Thomas, one of the twelve, called Didymus, was not with them when Jesus came. The other disciples therefore said to him, We have seen the Lord. But he said to them, Unless I see in his hands the print of the nails, and put my finger into the place of the nails, and put my hand into his side, I shall not believe. And after eight days the disciples were again within, and Thomas with them. Jesus cometh, the doors being shut, and stood in the midst, and said, Peace be to you! Then he saith to Thomas, Reach hither thy finger, and behold my hands, and reach forth thy hand, and put it into my side; and be not faithless, but believing. Thomas answered and said to him, My Lord and my God! Jesus saith to him, Because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed; blessed are they who have not seen, and yet have believed.
Jesus saith to him, Because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed; blessed are they who have not seen, and yet have believed.
Jesus saith to him, Because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed; blessed are they who have not seen, and yet have believed. Many other signs did Jesus in the presence of his disciples, which are not written in this book.
Many other signs did Jesus in the presence of his disciples, which are not written in this book. But these have been 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 he manifested himself again to the disciples at the lake of Tiberias. And he manifested himself in this manner. There were together Simon Peter, and Thomas called Didymus, and Nathanael of Cana of Galilee, and the sons of Zebedee, and two others of his disciples. read more. Simon Peter saith to them, I am going a fishing. They say to him, We also will go with thee. They set out and went into the boat, and on that night caught nothing. But when the morning was coming on, Jesus stood on the shore; but the disciples did not know that it was Jesus. Then Jesus saith to them, Children, have ye any fish? They answered him, No. And he said to them, Cast the net on the right side of the boat, and ye will find. And they cast it, and now they were not able to draw it for the multitude of the fishes. Therefore that disciple whom Jesus loved saith to Peter, It is the Lord. Simon Peter therefore, hearing that it was the Lord, girded on his outer garment, for he had on nothing but his under one, and threw himself into the lake. And the other disciples came in the boat, (for they were not far from land, only about two hundred cubits,) dragging the net with the fishes. When therefore they had come to land, they see a fire of coals there, and a fish lying thereon, and bread. Jesus saith to them, Bring of the fish which ye have now caught. Simon Peter therefore went on board, and drew the net to land full of great fishes, a hundred and fifty three; and though there were so many, the net was not broken.
Simon Peter therefore went on board, and drew the net to land full of great fishes, a hundred and fifty three; and though there were so many, the net was not broken. Jesus saith to them, Come and breakfast. But no one of the disciples durst ask him, Who art thou? knowing that it was the Lord. read more. Jesus cometh and taketh the bread, and giveth them, and the fish likewise. This is now the third time that Jesus manifested himself to his disciples, after he had risen from the dead. So when they had breakfasted, Jesus saith to Simon Peter, Simon, son of John, lovest thou me more than these? He saith to him, Yea, Lord, thou knowest that I love thee. He saith to him, Feed my lambs. He saith to him again a second time, Simon, son of John, lovest thou me? He saith to him, Yea, Lord, thou knowest that I love thee. He saith to him, Tend my sheep. He saith to him the third time, Simon, son of John, lovest thou me? Peter was grieved because he said to him the third time, Lovest thou me? And he said to him, Lord, thou knowest all things; thou knowest that I love thee. He saith to him, Feed my sheep. Truly, truly do I say to thee, when thou wast young, thou didst gird thyself, and walk whither thou wouldst; but when thou hast grown old, thou wilt stretch forth thy hands, and another will gird thee, and carry thee whither thou wouldst not. This he said, signifying by what manner of death he was to glorify God. And having thus spoken, he saith to him, Follow me. Peter, turning round, seeth the disciple whom Jesus loved following,who also at supper leaned back on his breast, and said, Lord, who is he that betrayeth thee? Peter, seeing him, saith to Jesus, Lord, and how will it be with him? Jesus saith to him, If it be my will that he remain till I come, what is it to thee? Follow thou me. This report therefore went abroad among the brethren, that this disciple was not to die. And yet Jesus did not say to him, He will not die; but, If it be my will that he remain till I come, what is it to thee? This is the disciple who testifieth of these things, and hath written these things; and we know that his testimony is true. (...)
