First Epistle of Peter. 



533 



We have noted at many points in the Gospels and the First Epistle 

 of John \vhere these " foreshadowings " have been developed into 

 extended discourses and not unfrequently have we been permitted, 

 in the former, to hear them from the mouth of Jesus, as a teaching 

 of his own. Ideas of Paul have been taken up by our author and 

 treated in a suggestive fashion for later writers. I Peter not only 

 " marks the transition," but also plays no small part in making the 

 later literature possible. From the parallels cited above it would 

 seem that our Epistle formed a bridge, as it were, between the Pauline 

 and the Johannine Literatures. Our study, therefore, seems to 

 require us to conclude that the Johannine Literature (especially 

 I John and the Gospel) depends directly upon the First Epistle 

 of Peter.
