Was that line written by the original author of John, it is clear if you use form criticism that the New Testament has been reacted by the 'Porto-Orthodox' at various stages, mostly in order to refute assorted 'Heresies'
Bart D Ehrman argues to a limited extent very well in Forged. However he is too timid to suggest what is obviously a lot more 'forgery' and reaction in the New Testament. For example the original Marcionite Gospel of Luke has been edited to a large extent by the same person who wrote the Book of Acts.
