<P> The narrative of Jesus' post-Resurrection appearance to his disciples by the lake, the miraculous catch of fish, the prophecy of the crucifixion of Peter, the restoration of Peter, and the fate of the Beloved Disciple . A majority of scholars believes this chapter to be an addition to the gospel . </P> <P> The Gospel of John is anonymous . Traditionally, Christians have identified the author as "the Disciple whom Jesus loved" mentioned in John 21: 24, who is understood to be John son of Zebedee, one of Jesus' Twelve Apostles . These identifications, however, are rejected by many modern biblical scholars . Nevertheless, the author of the fourth Gospel is sometimes called John the Evangelist, often out of convenience since the definitive name of the author is still debated . </P> <P> John is usually dated to AD 90--110 . It arose in a Jewish Christian community in the process of breaking from the Jewish synagogue . Scholars believe that the text went through two to three redactions, or "editions", before reaching its current form . </P> <P> John, which regularly describes Jesus' opponents simply as "the Jews", is more consistently hostile to "the Jews" than any other body of New Testament writing . Historian and former Roman Catholic priest James Carroll states: "The climax of this movement comes in chapter 8 of John, when Jesus is portrayed as denouncing' the Jews' who were gathered at the Temple as the offspring of Satan ." In John 8: 44 Jesus tells the Jews: "You are of your father the devil, and the desires of your father you will do . He was a murderer from the beginning, and he stood not in the truth; because truth is not in him ." In 8: 38 and 11: 53, "the Jews" are depicted as wishing to kill Jesus . However, Carroll cautions that this and similar statements in the Gospel of Matthew and the 1 Thessalonians should be viewed as "evidence not of Jew hatred but of sectarian conflicts among Jews" in the early years of the Christian church . </P>
