The John ending - the true ending of the Gospel of John -- is an issue that is legitimately debated. There are strong reasons to conclude that its authentic ending is at John 20:31-31 as follows:
| “ | Now Jesus did many other signs in the presence of the disciples, which are not written in this book; but these are written so that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name. | ” |
Analysis
Virtually everyone agrees that the Mark ending was a later addition, so it is proper to ask if the somewhat rehashed text after the clear ending above was likewise a later addition to the Gospel of John.
