The Gospel of John, like all the gospels, is anonymous. [14] John 21:22 [15] references a disciple whom Jesus loved and John 21:24–25 [16] says: "This is the disciple who is testifying to these things and has written them, and we know that his testimony is true". [11]
Gospel of John: c. 90–110 CE, the upper date based on textual evidence that the gospel was known in the early 2nd century CE, and the lower on an internal reference to the expulsion of Christians from the synagogues. [97] 𝔓 52 (125–175 CE) Acts
The Fourth Gospel is written by someone who, based on their style and knowledge of the Greek language and grammar, would have to have been well-educated in Greek; on the other hand, as an uneducated illiterate Galilean fisherman, John the Apostle would most likely have had Aramaic as his native language, and no knowledge of any other language ...
The Gospel of John is perhaps quoted by Justin Martyr, and hence is highly likely to have been written before c. 160 CE; [20] but 20th century New Testament scholars, most influentially Kurt Aland and Bruce Metzger, have argued from the proposed dating of 𝔓 52 prior to this, that the latest possible date for the composition of the Gospel ...

The Prologue to St. John's Gospel, 1:1-18, is read on Christmas Day at the principal Mass during the day in the Roman Catholic Church, a tradition that dates back at least to the 1570 Roman Missal. [38] In the Church of England, following the Book of Common Prayer (1662), St. John 1:1-14 is appointed to be read on Christmas Day.
The gospel identifies its author as the disciple whom Jesus loved, commonly identified with John the Evangelist since the end of the first century. [4] Scholars have debated the authorship of Johannine literature (the Gospel of John, Epistles of John, and the Book of Revelation) since at least the third century, but especially since the ...
