Furthermore, John presents his Gospel as historical - e.g. chapters 2 - 4 form on trip (starting and ending in Cana), discourses are often attached to a sign in the first half (feeding of 5,000 flows right into the bread of life discourse), and John 7-8 seem to be a single narrative as well.<br /><br />Josh: I think he is saying that those who _don't_ use a spiritual reading have to harmonize some difficult passages.

Therefore, it isn't arbitrary to give Mark more weight in matters of historical detail, while the Gospel of John is rich in teaching.Aaronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08822852297658533311noreply@blogger.com
