Excerpt from The Gospel, Epistles, and Revelation of St. John: Edited, With an Introduction and Notes The application of this principle to the present case seems to follow naturally from what has already been said. St. John's work is a gospel: accordingly, like the other gospels, it will be made up of the the Acts and Sayings of Jesus. But its prologue has set forth a very special pur pose for the narrative the support of a theological position. In accordance with this we find, as a fact, that the 'acts of Jesus become in St. John's narrative 'signs, ' and the 'sayings' are all of the nature of 'witness.' From this point of view the work falls into natural divisions: seven incidents constitute the Earlier Signs and Witness of Jesus, seven more his Signs and Witness to the Jews; four divisions comprise the Signs and Witness among his own Disciples, and the three phases of the final Passion and Resurrection history may again be treated as Signs and Witness.

Excerpt from The Gospel According to St. John: With Introduction and Notes Like the rest of the disciples, John went back to his home and work. He was on the lake with his father and brother and their partners, Simon and Andrew, that eventful morning when Jesus appeared, preached to the people from the deck of Simon's boat, gave him the remarkable haul of fishes in his net, and then called him and the other three to follow Him. How long after the incident by the Jordan this second call took place we cannot say; but it decided conclusively for John, as for the others, his future as a fisher of men, Matt. Iv. 18 ff. Mark i. 16 fit; Luke v. I - I I. The ascendancy which Christ had already gained over these receptive youths is to be ex plained, however, not by the events of this morning, but by the events of those of that earlier time by the river Jordan.

Excerpt from The Gospel of St. John, Vol. 1 of 2 In order to read the Gospel of St. John with some intelligence, it is necessary to understand its purpose and its plan. For in the whole range of literature there is no composition which is a more perfect work of art, or which more rigidly excludes whatever does not subserve its main end. From the first word to the last there is no paragraph, sentence, or expression which is out of its place, or with which we could dispense. Part hangs together with part in perfect balance. The sequence may at times be obscure, but sequence there always is. The relevancy of this or that remark may not at first sight be apparent, but irrelevancy is impossible to this writer. The object which the Evangelist had in view in writing this Gospel we are not left to find out for ourselves. He explicitly says that his purpose in writing was to promote the belief that "Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God" (chap. xx. 31). This purpose, he judges, he will best accomplish, not by writing an essay, nor by framing an abstract argument in advocacy of the claims of Jesus, but by reproducing in his Gospel those manifestations of His glory which elicited faith in the first disciples and in others.

Excerpt from The Gospel According to St. John: The Authorised Version With Introduction and Notes In examining the indirect evidence which the fourth Gospel furnishes as to its authorship, it will be most convenient, as well as most satisfactory, to consider the available materials in relation to successive questions which become more and more definite as we proceed. How far then can we infer from the book itself, with more or less certainty, that the author was, or was not, a Jew, a Jew of Palestine, an eye-witness, an Apostle, and, last of all, St John, the son Of Zebedee?

Excerpt from The Gospel of St. John and the Synoptic Gospels Whoever undertakes nowadays to advo cate the genuineness and credibility of the Gospel of John, must be prepared beforehand for some prominent representatives of theo logical science and several among their pupils and adherents to say with indignation or pitiful smile: Lost effort! It is the surest of the sure, that the fourth Gospel as an historical source for the life of Jesus is no more to be taken into account. Who still considers it as such is under the Spell of church-tradition; custom goes ahead of truth; he has no idea particularly of the religio-historical method; science will take precedence over him in the order of the day, as over everything reactionary.
