Mystery: Was John a Samaritan (view source)
Revision as of 04:17, October 15, 2025
, 04:17, October 15, 2025this anger by John at the Samaritan village suggests that he felt betrayed by it, as a fellow Samaritan, rather than an underlying Jewish-Samaritan enmity that would not have sought hospitality from the village in the first place.
:'''Rebuttal''': It would not have been helpful to suggest during early [[Christianity]] that [[John]] was a [[Samaritan]], as Grok itself admits to Samaritan-Jewish enmity (and cites the [[Gospel of John]] on that point). The inclusion of John on missions to [[Samaria]] reinforces the likelihood that he was Samaritan, rather than negating it.

John and his brother James oddly suggest destroying a Samaritan village for refusing to accept [[Jesus]] because He was on His way to [[Jerusalem]]. See [[Luke, Chapter 9|Luke 9:51–56]]. But this anger by John at the Samaritan village suggests that he felt betrayed by it, as a fellow Samaritan, rather than an underlying Jewish-Samaritan enmity that would not have sought hospitality from the village in the first place.
