Appendage

In the 20th chapter of the Gospel of John, the text summarises the many signs that Jesus performed for his followers, not all of which could be recorded in the Gospel. The Gospel of John (literally According to John; Greek, Κατὰ Ἰωάννην Kata Iōannēn) is the fourth Gospel in the canon John 21 begins simply with After these things. . . (Greek: Μετὰ ταῦτα) and recounts another appearance of Jesus. Greek (el ελληνική γλώσσα or simply el ελληνικά — "Hellenic" is an Indo-European language, spoken today by 15-22 million people mainly This chapter is more ecclesiastically oriented than the rest of the book, stressing the role of Peter as the shepherd. The Nestle-Aland Novum Testamentum Graece (27th ed. ) as well as the major translations of the New Testament (KJV, NASB, NIV, RSV, NRSV) retain this chapter in their editions as original. The New American Standard Bible (NASB is an English Translation of the Bible. The New International Version is an English Translation of the Christian Bible. The New Revised Standard Version ( NRSV) of the Bible, released in 1989, is a thorough revision of the Revised Standard Version (RSV One point of view is that the author simply decided to add an additional incident at some time after writing the book, but before final publication. Westcott stated,

It is impossible to suppose that it was the original design of the Evangelist to add the incidents of chapter 21 after the verses which form a solemn close of his record of the great history of the conflict of faith and unbelief in the life of Christ. Brooke Foss Westcott ( January 12, 1825 &ndash July 27, 1901) was an English Churchman and theologian

But Donald Guthrie writes:

It is unlikely that another author wrote this section since there are several points of contact in it with the style and language of previous chapters. Donald Guthrie (1915-1992 was a conservative New Testament scholar . . (IVP New Bible Commentary)

John 21 provides the only Biblical information about Peter's death, traditionally held to have been by crucifixion. Crucifixion (from Latin crucifixio, noun of process crucifixio, from perfect passive participle crucifixus, fixed to a cross from

The Church Father Tertullian wrote, "And wherefore does this conclusion of the gospel affirm that these things were written unless it is that you might believe, it says, that Jesus Christ is the son of God?", which describes the end of Chapter 20, not Chapter 21. Quintus Septimius Florens Tertullianus, Anglicised as Tertullian, (ca However, the Nestle-Aland critical text of the New Testament lists no surviving copies of the Gospel that omit this chapter. Novum Testamentum Graece is the Latin name of the Greek language version of the New Testament.

The description of the "beloved disciple's" (normally assumed to be John) fate is presented as an aside to Peter. The phrase the disciple whom Jesus loved or Beloved Disciple is used several times in the Gospel of John, but in none of the other accounts Jesus says that it is not Peter's concern, even if Jesus should wish that that disciple remain alive until the end of time. The following verse clarifies that Jesus did not say "This disciple will not die", but that it was not for Peter to know.

Verses 24-25

The chapter is closed by two verses that sit incongruously with the remainder of the chapter - referring to the author of the gospel (whoever it might be) in the 3rd person (". . . for we know that what he says is true").

Manuscript evidence

In an essay, contributed on behalf of scholars unconvinced of any decisive sense of "originality" to John 21 published in 2007, Felix Just wrote noted: "We (unfortunately!) do not possess any ancient manuscript of John that actually ends at 20:31. "^[1] In other words, ancient manuscripts that contain the end of John 20 also contain text from John 21. So if John 21 is an addition, it was so early and so widespread, that no evidence of the prior form has survived.

Both Novum Testamentum Graece (NA27) and the United Bible Societies (UBS4) provide critical text for John 21. Novum Testamentum Graece is the Latin name of the Greek language version of the New Testament. A Bible society is a non-profit organization (usually Ecumenical in makeup devoted to Translating, publishing distributing the Bible at affordable costs Neither provides any evidence at all for omission of John 21, since none exists. However, the following are cited as witnesses for the various text-critical decisions in the chapter, as such they are evidence for the originality of John 21.
