	COMMENTARY ON JOHN'S GOSPEL
		The Gospel of John is one of the four Gospels which the early church authorised as being based on the evidence of eyewitnesses to the life of Jesus.
		John is concerned with Jesus' activity in Jerusalem and the surrounding area but he says sufficient to show that he was aware of an extensive Galilean ministry, although he virtually ignores it.
		There is nothing in the Gospel to repudiate this idea, and the fact that John is not mentioned in the Gospel, and that John the Baptiser is simply called John would seem strong support for it.

	bible.org: The Gospel of John: Introduction, Argument, Outline
		Where John and the synoptics do overlap (only 8-10% of the time), there seem to be inherent contradictions, especially in three areas: the cleansing of the temple, the presentation of dominical sayings, and the chronology of the Lord’s supper.
		John was putting on the finishing touches of his gospel for Paul’s churches (since the churches of Asia Minor had none and since Paul did not know Christ according to the flesh) when Peter was arrested.
		The Gospel of John has four major sections to it: prologue (1:1-18), the Son of God’s manifestation to the nation (or, the “Book of Signs”) (1:19–12:50), the Son of God’s ministry to his disciples (13:1–17:26), and the Son of God’s suffering and glory (18:1–20:31).

	The Gospel of John
		Certain similarities between the gospel, letters and Apocalypse that now bear that name led the early Christians to imagine that they had been the work of a single author; and since the redactor of Apocalypse had called himself Ioannes, that name was attached to the unsigned works also.
		The Fourth Gospel was written after the expulsion of Jewish Christians from synagogue life in the late 80s.
		In John 8:24, 28, the fourth evangelist appears to employ the Exodus formula, which the Scholars Version translates, 'I am (what I say I am)'...I AM may be understood to predicate the existence of God (I AM means 'I exist'), or it may be simply the name of God (my name is I AM).

		John 12.9-11 - (Meanwhile a large crowd of Jews found out that Jesus was there and came, not only because of him but also to see Lazarus, whom he had raised from the dead.
		The fourth gospel is not as anti-Jewish as some people thin anyway: salvation is still said to be "from the Jews" (4.22), and often the referent of "the Jews" is "the Jews in Judea" or "the Jewish leaders" or the like.
		THEREFORE--to assert that John (and the wider Christian community) attributed the death of Jesus to the GENERAL POPULACE known as "Jews" is FUNDAMENTALLY MISTAKEN; and that to accuse certain first-century Jews of being 'anti-Semitic' because of some general Roman cultural trend is entirely without foundation.

	"The Gospel of John" / review and/or viewer comments - Christian Spotlight on the Movies
		John's Gospel is probably heavier on dialogue and leaner on action when compared to the Synoptic Gospels, but this movie never suffers from that, largely due, I think, to Cusick's spirited performance and the filmmakers' inventive staging and filming.
		Some say "John" (the author's name is known only by tradition; the Gospel has no name attached to it) wrote his Gospel as an old man, after a lifetime of theological reflection on "The Word" that had become flesh.
		For those who have a perception that John's Gospel gives us a Jesus who is wholly or largely focused on the realm from which He came, this movie may come as a shock, for it shows that John's Jesus is a very earthly/earthy/fleshly/real Jesus.
