The Gospel of John Commentary: Who wrote the Gospel of John and how historical it is?

The Gospel tells the story of Jesus’ life, the first four books of the New Testament. Nevertheless, only one – John’s Gospel – claims to be an eyewitness account, an unknown “student who liked Jesus.” Witness of (“This is the disciple who is testifying these things and writes these things, and we know that his testimony is true.” [John 21:24]) “Who wrote the good news of John?” There is a question that does not answer, although religious experts have said about the whole life that it was really a student who wrote the famous Bible book.

It is easy to find the Gospel of John commentary. It is believed that an Alexander Christian scholar and religious expert, Origin, wrote his good news of John Commentary, while 218 ads in Alexandria after St. Augustine, who is the father of a famous church of the fourth -century, said about John Commentary about the Gospel of John. About Gospler, about St. Thomas’s Gospler about St. Thomas’s Gospler.

We can never know that the Gospel of John has written, even more we can know who wrote the books of Matthew, Mark and Luke. However, we know that John is in addition to a gospel. Early Matthews, Mark and Lukes are so equal in their telling that they are called Synoptic Gospels, which means “viewed together” – when they appear side by side, parallel become clear. Matthew and Luke Mark follow the version of events, which is thought to be the scholars of the early and extremely historically accurate gospel. However, life does not include the same events or historians found in the other three Gospels, and the fact is that it is so different whether the gospel of life is historic or not, there is something that has been noted in the Gospel of John Commentary for hundreds – even thousands of years.

Many assumptions have tried to convince that the life of Jesus’ life that has not been presented in synoptics exists. A speculation claims that John recorded many incidents before the arrest of John Baptist, while the ministry of Jesus begins only after the arrest of Sinoptics. Another believes that John was last written, someone who knew about the other three Gospels, but who wanted to write a spiritual gospel instead of a historical. This would mean that the person who wrote the good news of John is not contemporary to Jesus, and that is why there was no eyewitness according to the author’s claim. There is also the possibility that John’s author did not know about Mark and that is why he did not have the same information.

One of the facts in the dispute between the four Gospels is the length of the ministry of Jesus. According to Synoptics, it continued for only one year, while Jesus served between two to three years. Jerusalem was well aware of Jesus’ saying, and he traveled there three or four times. However, Synoptics forces Jesus to meet Jerusalem only once. In John, Jesus was a friend near Jerusalem, including Mary, Martha and the city of Bethlehe, who is out of the city on the eastern slope of the mountain of olive.

John’s author also knew Jerusalem well, as the whole book shows geographical and space name information. He has well mentioned the gate pool (Bethesda), Salom Pool and Jacob among others. The geographical feature gives credibility to John’s account.

Another aspect of John that can be more historically accurate than Synoptics is crucified and calculated its events. Synoptics says that Jesus’ last meal was a Passover meal – the same year (Jewish holidays begin at sunset) that same year (Jewish holidays begin at sunset) – and they will believe that the High Court, at the beginning of a big holiday, was gathered to ask Jesus and hand them over to the Romans. On the contrary, John has handed over the crucifixion “about the sixth hour, the day of the Passover’s Week preparation”. According to John, the last dinner is not a Passover (because this year’s holiday did not start until Friday evening), and Jesus is crucified and buried before the start of the Passover. In John’s account, Jesus became a crowd of Passover, which was offered for afternoon before the Passover holiday. Some scholars suggest that John may be more historic about being crucified than the other three Gospels.

Given the familiarity of Jerusalem and its environment, it is very possible that he visited the Salom Pond, which he mentioned in connection with the story of a blind man’s cervical story (a story that only appears in the Gospel of John). This is the pond that has just revealed recently, as described in the adjoining article.
