Instead it is argued that the Beloved Disciple is identified in these verses as the real author of the Gospel and that the dominating function in John 21 :24-25 is the testimonial function (also known as the function of attestation). It is also argued that the intended effect of this junction is undermined by the awkward manner in which it is fulfilled.7 pagesPDFenFaculty of Theology, University of PretoriaBible -- N.T. -- John 21:24-25Article
