Abstract
A detailed comparative analysis of the fragments Jn 4 and Acts 8 reveals that Jn 4 is linked to Acts 8 with the use of 48 sequentially ordered correspondences.These correspondences are mainly conceptual-thematic (John’s use of Lucan ideas), but also linguistic (John’s use of Lucan phrases, keywords, etc.).In order to illustrate the ideas from Acts, John often used motifs borrowed from other works (all three Synoptic Gospels, the Septuagint, the Pauline letters,the First Letter of John, etc.). However, it is the Acts of the Apostles that constitutes the main base text (hypotext) for the conceptual structure of the Fourth Gospel. This surprisingly close structural-conceptual connection of the Fourth Gospel to the Acts of the Apostles permits us to regard John as in fact the fourth Synoptic.
