beheaded by Agrippa I in the year 44 CE long<br />

before this gospel was written. It should be known<br />

that for two centuries it was hotly debated whether<br />

the Gospel ofJohn should be accepted as a reliable<br />

According <strong>to</strong> Luke and According <strong>to</strong> Mark."
