Oct 3, 2019 · Irenaeus says that John, the disciple of the Lord who was with Jesus in the upper room, wrote the gospel of John while living in Ephesus (Haer. 3.1.2). Even though such sources are subject to the same historical scrutiny as other ancient documents, this is a remarkable chain of historical witnesses—from Irenaeus, to Polycarp, to John himself—enjoyed by no other New Testament book.

1 John is an anonymous letter, but 2 and 3 John are written by someone called “the Elder.” The language and style of all three letters are identical to each other as well as to John’s Gospel, so most people think that all of them were written by the “disciple whom Jesus loved” (John 21:20-24).
Jan 14, 2024 · In his gospel, John uniquely refers to himself as the “disciple whom Jesus loved” (John 13:23; 19:26; 20:2; 21:7). He humbly avoided naming himself out of deference to Christ. Using the term “elder” in 1 John and 2 and 3 John fits John’s tendency to avoid self-promotion while acknowledging his spiritual authority.
Jul 22, 2024 · The dual purpose of 1 John is explicit: 1) “We proclaim to you what we have seen and heard, that you . . . may have fellowship with us. And our fellowship is with the Father and with his Son, Jesus Christ” (1 John 1:3); and 2) “I write these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God so that you may know that you have eternal life” (1 John 5:13).
Jul 25, 2024 · Author: 1, 2, and 3 John have from earliest times been attributed to the apostle John, who also wrote the Gospel of John. The content, style, and vocabulary seem to warrant the conclusion that these three epistles were addressed to the same readers as the Gospel of John.
Mar 14, 2024 · John was also acquainted with rabbis and Jewish teachers, such as the high priest (John 18:15–16). Also worth considering is the use of a scribe, known as an amanuensis. Literate Paul employed the skill of Tertius , an amanuensis, to write the book of Romans (Romans 16:22).

In 3 John, the apostle greets Gaius (1-2), commends the Gaius for standing for truth (3-4), discusses issues with Gaius (5-12), and discusses his future visit with Gaius (13-14). The letters of John are quite powerful and important for teaching about the nature of God and of the believer’s stance during difficult times.
