To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
In adopting this idea and method the evangelist followed the example of preceding writers, as may be seen in the first Gospel, the Epistles of Paul, Hebrews, Barnabas, and other writings. This ap- propriation and Christianizing of the Old Testament as the revealed word of God answered an urgent need of the Church in the second century, and we accordingly find that the writer of this Gospel in common with his con- temporaries saw its chief significance in the supposed testimony which it could be... made by the current methods of interpretation to bear to Christ. Consistently with this point of view it is declared that Moses wrote of Christ, f while in apparent inconsistency with it an unconcealed hostility to the Jews leads the writer to depreciate the law and the entire Old Testament and to put into the mouth of Jesus the harsh declaration that all the teachers who had preceded him were thieves and robbers.^ Not only is Moses expressly contrasted to his disadvantage with Christ, but the events at Cana and the pool of Beth- esda are perhaps allegorical representations of the inade- quacy of the ancient economy.
