The New Testament, Gospel of John

This is the New Testament Gospel of John itself, the primary scriptural text rather than any secondary account of it, and it is the correct source for what the gospel actually says, in its own sequence and wording. Its limit is exactly what follows from being a primary religious text: it is a theological and narrative document written to advance a particular understanding of Jesus, by its own stated purpose so that readers may believe, not a neutral historical record, and its authorship, date and relationship to the other gospels remain matters of ongoing scholarly argument, so a claim about the historical circumstances behind the text, rather than its own content, needs a scholarly source addressing that separately.
