Scholars, pastors and even versions of Bible differ
as to whether 3:16 is attributed to Jesus vs John.
Some take 3:16 as Jesus speaking in the 3rd
person, indicating it is simply commentary by
the author of John about Jesus.

is there verse where learned Christians undisputedly
agree that Jesus himself directly said he wanted
his disciples to preach to all of humanity?

to my knowledge, James and Peter did not agree
with Paul or anyone taking the preaching to those
not compliant to Hebrew O.T. law observances.
>>Why would James and Peter take such a stance
if JC instructed them otherwise?


John is also unique in that its not considered among
the Synoptic Gospels [ie:] it does not present a
common view like Matthew, Mark and Luke.
