Moses, witness, writingAbstract
This paper demonstrates that in John’s Gospel the figure of Moses acts as a witness who fosters belief in Jesus. From the evangelist’s self-designation as an “eyewitness” (ἑωρακὼς) in John 19:35, the gospel defines witnesses as those who lead others to belief. This paper discusses the role of witnesses in John’s Gospel in general and then presents Moses as a written witness.
