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.
