The letters were written later than the gospel, and while the gospel reflects the break between the Johannine Christians and the Jewish synagogue, in the letters the Johannine community itself is disintegrating ("They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would have continued with us; but they went out ...
The Jews' response is that Jesus is not yet fifty years old, i.e. has not yet reached the age of "full manhood" [12] as indicated in Numbers 4:3, 4:39 and 8:24. The evangelist brings the chapter to its climax with Jesus' words, "before Abraham was, I AM" ( John 8:58 ), words which inevitably are interpreted as Jesus "[taking] to Himself the ...
12 And they went out, and preached that men should repent." RV: (omits second sentence of verse 11). Reason: Many (perhaps most) modern versions emulate the Revised Version and simply omit the sentence in question, without any explanatory comment. This is a complete sentence and yet it did not receive, in the Textus Receptus editions, a verse ...
Jesus said to her, "Do not cling to me, for I have not yet ascended to the Father; but go to my brothers and say to them, 'I am ascending to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.'"

And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also" (John 14:2-3).

Cornelius a Lapide notes that the first precept of Christ is to only go to the Jews, and not the Gentiles or Samaritans. [2] Saint Jerome and Robert Witham both state that this restriction does not contradict the verse in Matthew 28:19, "Go, teach all nations", since this was said to them after the resurrection.
John uses the same word, προσκυνειν, proskunein, literally to kneel and kiss the ground, [31] in John 4:20–24 in relation to the Jewish-Samaritan debate over the sacred place "where one ought to worship" (John 4:20; NKJV translation), where He announces that "the hour is coming when you will [worship] neither on this mountain (Mount ...
With this statement, Jesus was not only reaching out to Thomas, but is reaching out to all future believers (cf. John 17:20–24) and embraces them all. [3] The followers of Jesus since the time of Jesus rely on 'secure evidence' (Scripture, the witness of the church through the ages, personal experiences in faith) without having actually seen ...
