The Gospel of John was likely scribed by Andrew in the presence of John and others, just as Hebrews was Paul’s Gospel, sent by Luke by way of Mark to Ephesus after the June 29, 57 A.D. deaths of Peter and Paul, John (and the Church of Ephesus) being the recognized “son of thunder” leadership of the Churches (with Peter’s departure) until John’s death about 41 years later.
In John 1:35 we also read, “John stood there with two of his disciples.” Perhaps they were the Zebedees, and others could have been on hand or gone ahead to the Temple mount. Probably referring to the Sukkot huts, Jesus offers to show the disciples where he is staying, with the narrative concluding: “So they went and saw where he was ...
And John seems to have very different emphasis, but much the same narrative. Connections of other writings ( the epistles) to the Apostles and Paul are debated ( the latter case Hebrews – and in the case of the last Biblical book a distinct “John”), but there is a lot more tangible connection.
Commentators have long debated whether John provides the truest portrait of Jesus or the least accurate. But perhaps they should be asking another question altogether: What kind of book is the so-called Gospel of John? The brisk dialogue and memorable sayings of the Synoptics give way to a handful of elaborate set pieces in John.
Then in 1961, a papyrus codex containing the Gospels of Luke and John in Greek (P.Bodmer XIV–XV or P75 to specialists) was published. It is often called the most important New Testament papyrus so far discovered because it was dated, on the basis of its handwriting, to about A.D. 175–225, and its text agrees very closely with that of Codex ...
The Book of Jacob (i.e., the Book of James) is addressed to “the twelve tribes in the diaspora” (James 1:1) and full of references and allusions to the Torah and Wisdom Literature of the Jewish Bible (Christians’ Old Testament). Scholars consider James the most “Jewish” book in the New Testament.
According to the Gospel of John, it was at the Siloam Pool where Jesus healed the blind man (John 9:1–11). Traditionally, the Christian site of the Siloam Pool was the pool and church that were built by the Byzantine empress Eudocia (c. 400–460 A.D.) to commemorate the miracle recounted in the New Testament.
Most general Bible readers have the mistaken impression that Matthew, the opening book of the New Testament, must be our first and earliest Gospel, with Mark, Luke and John following. The assumption is that this order of the Gospels is a chronological one, when in fact it is a theological one.
He is well known for creating web resources on New Testament and Christian origins, including his podcast, the NT Pod. Goodacre has acted as consultant for several TV and radio programs including The Passion (BBC / HBO, 2008) and Finding Jesus (CNN, 2015-17). Goodacre is currently working on a book on John's knowledge of the Synoptic Gospels.
The book of Enoch talks about the Son of Man. Jesus is called the Son of Man in so many verses. people saying Jesus is not the Messiah and that he is Satan and they say the same thing about the Book of Enoch. And 2 Tesalossians 2:1-12 is really powerful are we believing the lies? we think we have faith but do we?
