The Gospel of John (Greek: Εὐαγγέλιον κατὰ Ἰωάννην, romanized: Euangélion katà Iōánnēn) is the fourth of the canonical gospels. The book went through two to three stages, or "editions", before reaching its current form, at the latest, around AD 80–100. It is written anonymously, although it identifies an unnamed "disciple whom Jesus loved" as the source of its traditions.
