John21;1-23

Four
John21; 1-23

This is almost the entire chapter 21.It is made up of three parts.
1. Disciple goes fishing on Lake Tiberias.At dawn, the Lord appears on the shore and becomes a big catch (1-14).
2.The Lord gives Petro first place and leaves the church (15-19).
3.Disciples that Jesus loved (20-23)
Originally John's Gospel ended with twenty chapters. Chapter 21 is an afterthought. Marxsen responds in two ways. First, the person who wrote the main body (Chapter 2-20) has a slightly different idea than the person who wrote Chapter 21 later. Also, the person who wrote Chapter 21 has made some efforts toward the main body. Secondly, the body has a slightly innovative, new direction. In that way the person who wrote 21 chapters edites the innovative place of this main body and is going to pull it back to the traditional line once again.
Whether or not Marxsen's explanation is adequate is still to be considered by everyone. However, it is clear that chapter 21 is united with the main body of chapter 20 and reflects the problems of the church at that time, leaving a trace of efforts to address it.
Chapter 21 tells of the appearance of Christ on Lake Tiberias in Galilee. Three things are noticeable here. The appearance of the Lord in Galilee, Petro's presidency in the church, and his successors. None of these have been written by chapter 20. It is missing in the body. The person who wrote the body did not write it for some reason. That was what the author of Chapter 21 wrote. It seemed that something important was missing. So I added it all together as Chapter 21. This is a rough impression of reading the main body up to chapter 20 and chapter 21.
Also here is the "Disciple whom the Lord loved." However, the person who wrote this chapter must have been well aware of the names of the twelve disciples. Still, saying "the disciples that the Lord loved" is too reminiscent. If you were thinking of one specific disciple, you could have mentioned that name. Also, as some say, if it were the person who wrote this chapter, this is also very weird. Is he a disciple whom the Lord loved? And if you keep what you write in verse 23, those who wrote chapter 21 know that "the disciples whom the Lord loved" have died. Then the author here can only think that no one is thinking of a particular person. After all, here is the ideal figure of a disciple. Perhaps he wanted such an ideal person as a successor to Petro. Everything written there is even assured that the disciple had seen and heard on his own and that he was certain (verse 24). In this way, it may have seemed like a real person. Next, let's summarize a little about here.
