| Summary: | Researchers disagree concerning depictions of "Jews" and "high priests" in John. Many trace the gospel's apparent animosity toward these identities to Christian rivalry with rabbinic Judaism after Javneh or emerging ethnic differences. Others detect Galilean resentment of Judeans, sectarian polemics, or Qumran-influenced hostility toward the Temple's high priesthood. The study undertaken here, however, proposes that John does not vilify a religious, ethnic, or priestly identity. Instead, the evangelist's goal was to show readers who remembered issues and alignments of pre-66 Judea and who valued the priesthood as central to God's covenant, that the high priests of the Temple, despite the urging of some politically motivated colleagues, did not institutionally authorize the betrayal of Jesus. |
