Though John very probably depends here upon Mk. 9 ; 37.. it 

 is suggestive in this connection.

The phraseology is suggestive, yet the similarity is probably acci-

Conclusion on the Johannine Literature. 



Professor Cone notes that " distinct foreshadowings of the ideas 

 of the Fourth Gospel and the epistles ascribed to John are indeed 

 not wanting. The absence of the mystical profundity of Paul 

 and the softening of some of the harsher lines of his teaching as well 

 as several striking accords with Hebrews, shows the writer (of our 

 Epistle) to have been in contact with the later Paulinism which 

 marks the transision to the Johannine theology," (Encyc. Bib. 

 p. 3680).
