Abstract

[This chapter proposes that the Fourth Gospel was written by an early church leader named John, different from the Apostle John. This John, who later became an elder in the church at Ephesus (and is hence known as John the Elder), was likely a Sadducean priest in the Jerusalem Temple and an eyewitness to those events in Jesus’ ministry that occurred during Jesus’ festival visits to Jerusalem. He may well have owned the house where the Last Supper was eaten. The Gospel of John was written between 85 ce and 90 ce. I conclude by explaining how these hypotheses may stimulate future research into the relationships between the Fourth Gospel and eyewitness testimony and between the Fourth Gospel and the Temple establishment.]
