| Summary: | John 21:24-25: A case of� failed attestation In� this article� the� tendency� to� interpret John� 21:24-25 narratologically as a highly sophisticated and effective� technique� is disputed.� 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. |
