The Influence of Neil Platonism on the Gospel of John

The language of the gospel of John authentically represents pious, devout Jewish religious jargon from the lifetime of Jesus. The accounts that we're getting about Jesus in the gospels were written by people who knew and understood and reflect and express the cultural patterns and the language of that era.
