John

The Gospel of John was revealed and given to the churches by John while still in the body, just as Papias of Hieropolis, the close disciple of John, related in the exoterics, that is, in the last five books.  Indeed he wrote down the gospel,  while John was dictating carefully.  But the heretic Marcion, after being condemned by him because he was teaching² the opposite to him [John], was expelled by John.  But he [Marcion] had brought writings or letters to him [John] from the brothers which were in Pontus.
