Now Jesus did many other signs in the presence of his disciples, which are not written in this book — the sign-formula (sēmeia) here includes resurrection appearances as signs of Jesus' identity. John's statement that only a selection of Jesus' works are recorded establishes the Gospel as interpretive theology rather than exhaustive chronicle. The focus on resurrection signs suggests the resurrection appearances constitute the climactic demonstration of Jesus' identity and power.
