' The idea that the Galilean portions of John were interpolations was suggested by Delff at the end of the last century, reviewed in W. Sanday , The Criticism of the Fourth Gospel (London & New York [1905]), 18.

B.P. Robinson , 'Christ as a Northern Prophet in St. John' (Scripture 17 [1965], 104f) has also argued that John wished to represent Jesus as an Elijah-Elisha figure, citing the water to wine and feeding miracles, but comparing Jesus's first miracle to Elisha's first, the sweetening of the water.
