	When it comes to John’s Gospel, you have all kinds of possibilities as to who the human writer, or the author might have been. I took some courses at the University with regard to the NT and one of the signs of scholarship was to say that John the apostle did not write the book of John, we don’t know who did, but John didn’t. That was supposedly scholarship. Well, John the son of Zebedee, the Apostle certainly is the traditional view, and the one to which I hold, but there are other options that people have recommended or suggested as possibilities.

 The family of John were Galileans and the Galileans were of course simpler people than those who were in the south and Judea they were freer from traditionalism.  We know that John was a disciple of the forerunner of Jesus, that is he was a disciple of John the Baptist and then subsequently became a disciple of Jesus at the beginning of his public ministry.

- John’s relation to Christ developed as a very intimate companionship.  That is John was among the inner three of the disciples and also the nearest one of all the disciples to Jesus in fact there is expression used frequently that he was, “the disciple whom Jesus loved.”  The one who leaned on Christ’s breast at the last supper, the one who was given the responsibility for Mary, the mother of Jesus by Christ.  He was also quite young in age and so there was this close intimacy which we pick up in the Gospel account itself in terms of the way he talks about Christ.

 In character he was clearly a turbulent, ambitious young man.  In fact, Jesus gave to him and his brother the name Boanerges which means the “sons of Thunder.”  Probably implying that they had a very impetuous temperament that they were exclusive and intolerant and ambitious.  Remember that so violent was their temper that they were prepared to blast the whole Samaritan village out of existence, because they would not provide hospitality when they were taking their trip on their journey to Jerusalem.
