John’s Gospel

Ch. VII

I The Jews seeking to kill Jesus, he refuses to from Galilee to the feast of Tabernacle at Jerusalem, this urged by his brethren saying his time is not come: So VIII 20. but afterwards goes thither secretly 1

II (Neither did his brethren believe in him v. 5.) The Jews some believe him honest, others a deceiver 11

(III Jesus, in the midst of the feast teaches in the temple. The Jews wonder how he came by his learning. He asserts his mission from God — says that none of them keep Moses’s law 14

IV The people say he has a devil, because he says some go about to kill him 20

V. He vindicates his having cured a man on the Sabbath & why not heal as well as circumcise?

21

VI Some say he is not the Christ: for they know whence he came, and nobody will know whence Christ comes 25

VII He says he comes from God 28

VIII Seeking to take him no man dares lay hand on him because his hour is not yet come. Many believe in him saying Christ will not do more miracles than he 31

IX Officers sent by the Pharisees and Chief Priests to take him return saying Never man spake like this. Meantime he reappears the last and great day of the feast 32

X Nicodemus the only Pharisee who supports him: saying he ought

to be heard in his own defence. ‘Art thou (say they) also of Galilee? Out of Galilee

ariseth no prophet. And every man went unto his own house

50 to 53

Ch. VIII

(33.) Jesus. Written in your Law I said Ye are Gods Ergo known,

Ch. X. continuum Jesus. All that ever came before me were thieves and robbers (9.) no blasphemy. 36. John did no miracle 41 Jesus I lay down my life that I may take it up again. (17.)

Note on John

John

Chap. XIII. Ch XIV

Vague and contradictory discourse

XIII 36 Peter. ‘Lord whither goest thou?'

Jesus ‘Whither I go, thou must not follow after wards me now: but thou shalt follow me afterwards.’

Conf. XIV. 4. ‘Whither I go ye know, and the 'way ye know.’ ib. 5.

Thomas ‘Lord we know not whither thou goest, and how can we know the way.’

(6) Jesus. I am the way, and the truth, and the life: no man cometh to the Father, but through me.’

Ch. XIV. 1. ‘Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God: believe also in me.’

Here then Jesus and God are distinct persons.

ib. V. 8. Philip saith unto him Lord, shew us the Father, and it sufficeth us. (9.)

Jesus. Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me Philip? He that hath seen me hath seen the Father.

John

Ch. XIV.

Throughout this Chapter Jesus is sometimes one identical with the Father, sometimes different.

XIV. 28. ‘For my Father is greater than I.

ib. 31 ‘as the Father gave me commandment, even so I do.

ib. 24. ‘The word which you hear is not mine but the Father’s who sent me.’

Yet in v. 10. 11 it has been said Believest though not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? The words that I speak unto you, I speak not of myself: but the Father, that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works.

v. 11. Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me:…

V. 26. The comforter the Holy Ghost if a separate being is an inferior and dependent one. V. 26. But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance.

John Ch. XV

V. 1. to 8. Allusive parable Jesus the Vine, his disciples its branches

9. Jesus an object of love to the Father: ergo different.

10. Jesus ‘even as I have kept my father’s commandments, and abide in his love.’ Ergo inferior.

XV When the Comforter is come, whom I shall send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth which proceedeth from the Father he shall testify of me.

Ch. XIII v. 36. Peter Lord Whither goest thou?

Ch. XVI. 5. to 16 different chapter but same conversation. Jesus. ‘Now I go my way to him that sent me, and none of you asketh me whither goest thou?

Thus on all subjects the talking backwards and forwards is perpetual.

Vague and self contradictory generalities which to recount them are to must be understood sometimes literally, sometimes figuratively: according to the purpose which is to be answered.

Ch XVI 16 to 24. You shall see me and you shall not see me &c.

25. ‘Now proverbs, soon, plain speech.

26 to 33. the last He says he leaves the world and goes to the Father: say they—you now speak plainly: nonsense on both sides.

N.B. verse to exactly this same effect at the beginning of the chapter after which they made no such observation All this is to shew that he foresees his approaching end

Ch. XVII

1. to 26 (the last). Prayer of Jesus to the Father — disciples as before present — Vague stuff about I in thee and thou in me, and glorification given by the father to Jesus and by Jesus to them

9. ‘I pray not for the world, but for them which thou hast given me: more and more tending to keep up their attachment

Ch. XVIII. XIX. XX. XXI. Arrestation, Death Ascension &c added to the Harmony of the three other Evangelists

Ch. XXI is the last

Description: Dec r 29 th 1778. Linc. Inn.

M r Far has quitted his chambers and retired to Q.S.P.

there to be nursed &c till Midsummer when Charles & he go to

their new purchase. He has sent to me a writing table with

a green cloth to it and a dumb waiter to take charge of till

he comes to want them.

I have just been dining at Q.S.P. to meet our dear friends

the Burtons. Burton has asked leave to introduce to me a D r

Smith who wrote a pamphlet giving an account of the state of

the prisons in London and has spent between 4 & 500 £

in medicines for the prisoners not to mention his own advice

Burton speaks of him as a 2 d Howard. He is busy with

Blackstone in framing the Hard Labour Bill. Burton says he

is to have the place of Inspector general of the H. Lab. Houses

which is to be £300 a year & all expences.

I have just received your letter - what you tell me

of the Cot astonishes me — I told you I believe of my Porter's

having assured me that they told him at the Inn it went

on the Thursday after the day it should have gone — I will

see farther about it

The day after I received & answered your letter about

the Cub, I wrote a penny letter which I sent by a Porter

to Sambouski, telling him I understood he had a young Gentleman

under his care &c that if he had not concluded with a

person &c I should be glad to talk with him & should be glad

to know when it would be agreable to him I should wait on

him there or if he came my way I should be equally glad

to see him here. The Porter brought me word that he was

not in town nor was he expected till Saturday (that is last Saturday.
