This structure was destroyed, along with the rest of the city, in 70. This structure really existed, and archaeologists were able to locate it and bring its ruins to light. Today, we can visit it in Jerusalem. So, John was written before this date.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ravioli: So, in any case, even the latest Gospel, John\u2019s, was still written only 40 years after the events it narrates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Banani: Not to mention that John was the disciple closest to Jesus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Igor: &#8220;Papaia, you ALWAYS have auditory hallucinations!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2026 especially when you\u2019re booking flights over the phone!&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2026 the proof of that?
