My take on Comfort is that his goal is not to establish a 20-chapter
John but to support his Early Text theory.  If some of the early papyri
(e.g., P75) can be shown to come from the 20-chapter precursor that is
proposed by several Johannine scholars, then P75 would have a greater
claim to the readings of the autograph, thus strengthening his Early
Text theory.

In your opinion, does his theory hold water? I have noticed that while
Comfort quotes others NO ONE quotes him......
