  1. Look beneath the surface so you can judge correctly.

  2. Outline of the Gospel of John God’s glory revealed in signs and teachings Chapters 1-4 God’s glory revealed in conflict and fulfillment Chapters 5-11 God’s glory revealed in sending Chapters 12-17 God’s Glory revealed in sacrifice Chapters 18-21

  3. Conflict: Jesus performs some kind of miracle or teaching meant to challenge people with who He really wasFulfillment: Jesus sets Himself up as the resolution to the conflict and reveals a truth about his identity

  4. Difficult Passages … Jesus’s seemingly contradictory statements in 7:8-10 What to do with the story of the woman caught in adultery…

  5. Dealing with John 7:53-8:11The Facts This text does not appear in any of the earliest Greek manuscripts No Eastern church Father commented on this  until the 12th century The story is placed in several places by later scribes The language does not fit John “teachers of religious law and the Pharisees” “Mount of Olives” “Teacher” It disrupts the Festival Cycle of John

  6. Dealing with John 7:53-8:11So, what? The evidence shows John never included this story in his Gospel  – it was added later.   Nonetheless, it is most likely that this is a true story, an authentic piece passed down from the apostles.  Knowing this, the scribes tried to include it  in its most logical place, but it was not written by John. A displaced story, a text without a context.  It is authentic, but should be treated separately. And as a result, we'll not be studying it in this study John
