VIII. THE EVIDENCE OF THE FOURTH GOSPEL: Jewish Festivals in the Fourth Gospel: The Readers of the Fourth Gospel: The Chronology of the passion; The Anointing: The Triumphal Entry; The Last Supper Narrative; The Meaning of Deipnon: John's Introduction to the Last Supper; Why did Judas leave the Room? The Last Supper Discourses; The Trial of Jesus: Ceremonial Defilement; The Pesach; The Release of Barabbas: The Sentence of Death: The Meaning of Paraskeue: That Sabbath was a Great Day: Not a Bone of Him shall be Broken: The Hasty Burial; The Meal by the Lakeside: Conclusion.
IX. ADDITIONAL PAULINE EVIDENCE: Conclusions.
The Fourth Gospel therefore, far from contradicting the Synoptics with regard to its basic chronology of the Passion, stands firmly with them on all essential points, and any dogmatic conclusions drawn must be in the light of an integrity of the four.Gospels, rather than setting one against the rest. The silence of St. John about the Bread and Wine must be interpreted in this setting, and also with due regard for his evident sacramental interests, as well as his close interest in the Jewish cultus.
