Abstract

Peter as Shepherd in the Gospel According to John
In this article the way in which Peter is characterised as shepherd in the Gospel according to John is investigated. Most Johannine scholars accept that Peter’s role as spiritual shepherd is emphasised in John 21. In this article this notion is taken a step further: it is argued that, in the portrayal of Peter, shepherd imagery already plays an important role earlier on in the Gospel, in particular in Chapters 13 and 18. In order to show its significance for understanding the way in which Peter is portrayed in this Gospel, the way in which the characterisation of Peter is developed in this Gospel is considered.
