Robertson Word Pictures - John 21:24 - 21:24


(Show All Books | Show All Chapters)

This Chapter Verse Commentaries:

That is (houtos estin). The one just mentioned in Joh 21:20, “the disciple whom Jesus loved.”

And wrote these things (kai ho grapsas tauta). Here there is a definite statement that the Beloved Disciple wrote this book.

We know (oidamen). The plural here seems intentional as the identification and endorsement of a group of disciples who know the author and wish to vouch for his identity and for the truthfulness of his witness. Probably we see here a verse added by a group of elders in Ephesus where John had long laboured.
