Gordon D. Fee on the Inauthenticity of John 5:3b-4.

The following article is now available on-line in PDF:

Gordon D. Fee, "On the Inauthenticity of John 5:3b-4," The Evangelical Quarterly 54.4 (Oct.-Dec. 1982): 207-218.

John 5:3-4 reads in the King James Version:

"In these lay a great multitude of impotent folk, of blind, halt, withered, waiting for the moving of the water. For an angel went down out at a certain season into the pool, and troubled the water: whoever then first after the troubling of the water stepped in was made whole of whatever disease he had."

The authenticity of most of this passage has long been rejected by textual critics, but this is the first article to explain why it is not accepted written for the general reader. Very helpful.
