• Inspired with what Jesus taught them.

CONCLUSION CH16:

• Jesus explains to the disciples his mission
• how he must be (crucified) taken away
• and leave them, but then resurrect again!

INCONSISTENCIES JOHN 2:11 2:23 4:54

• 2:11-'the first of his signs,' in Cana if Galilee,and revealed his glory;
• and his disciples believed in him.
• 2:23-when he was in Jerusalem during the Passover festival,
• many believed in his name because 'they saw the signs that he was doing'
• 4:45-'this was the second sign' that Jesus did after coming from Judea...

INCONSISTENCIES JOHN 5:1-6:1

• 5:1-'After this' there was a festival of the Jews
• and 'Jesus went up to Jerusalem.'
• 6:1-'After this Jesus went to the other side of the Sea of Galilee'
• also called the Sea of Tiberias.

• 14:30-'I will no longer talk much with you,'
• for the ruler of this world is coming...
• 14:31-but do as the Father......'Rise, let us be on our way.'

INCONSISTENCIES (CONTINUED) CH 15:1-18:1

• In 15:1-17:1 Jesus talks to his disciples through these chapters
• he does not leave like he said in 14:31
• 18:1- 'After Jesus had spoken these words, he went out with his disciples
• across the Kidron valley' to a place where there was a garden, which
• he and his disciples entered.

THESE LITERARY SEAMS SUGGEST: JOHN2:11,2:23,4:54

• The author of John received his information from two different sources.
• This is shown in a couple of ways. In 2:11 it says Jesus performs first sign..
• In 2:23 many people started believing in Jesus through the many signs he did.
• 4:54 states how Jesus performed his second sign.
• Jesus is in Cana, then Jerusalem and back to Galilee, resulting in 2 sources.

THESE LITERARY SEAMS SUGGEST: JOHN 5:1-6:1

• Source of information could be from a person not familiar with area.
• This is shown in 5:1 when Jesus went to Jerusalem to teach and heal.
• He spends most of his time there until chapter 6. Chapter 6 states:
• Jesus went to the other side of the Sea of Galilee. This is impossible
• Jesus was no where near the sea.

LITERARY SEAMS SUGGEST: JOHN 14:30-31; 15:1-18:1

• The author of John did not have all the information needed for the gospel
• This is shown by the end of ch 14. Jesus says "rise let us be on our way."
• After he says this he does not leave and continues talking for 3 chapters.
• Once ch 18 comes Jesus and his disciples leave.
• Why would Jesus say he is leaving but does not leave right away?
