| Summary: | In this paper the issue of the structure and coherence of the text of John 13-17 is reconsidered from a narratological point of view. Special attention is paid to the introductory function of John 13:1-38 as a prolepsis to the farewell discourses. It is observed and substantiated that paradigms of understanding play a decisive role in hypotheses about the macrostructure of John's Gospel. Furthermore it is maintained that Jesus launched (at least the initial part of) these discourses at a working supper with his disciples. Moreover, it is observed that John 13-17 (and 20:1-21:22) can be identified as representative of a well- established prevalent tradition of genre entitled as 'testament/farewell discourse'. |
