But these are written, that you might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing you might have life through his name.
All Commentaries on John 20:31 Go To John 20
Irenaeus of Lyons
AD 202
The Gospel, therefore, knew no other son of man but Him who was of Mary, who also suffered; and no Christ who flew away from Jesus before the passion; but Him who was born it knew as Jesus Christ the Son of God, and that this same suffered and rose again, as John, the disciple of the Lord, verities, saying: "But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing ye might have eternal life in His name"
