There is another important testimony against the Johannine origin of the fourth Gospel to which we must briefly refer.

Supernatural Religion, Vol. II. (of III) |Walter Richard Cassels
The stronghold of the evidence alike for and against the Johannine authorship is to be found in the facts of the Gospel itself.

The Christian Faith Under Modern Searchlights |William Hallock Johnson
The next passage pointed out as derived from the Johannine Gospel occurs in the same chapter: "My sheep hear my voice."

Supernatural Religion, Vol. II. (of III) |Walter Richard Cassels
This chapter was added to counteract the Johannine influence and exalt the Petrine teachings so dear to Rome.

The Bible |John E. Remsburg

Their movement (second and third centuries) was a most legitimate outcome of the Pauline and Johannine gospel.
