"This chapter argues that the primary purpose of the translation of the record of John embedded into the May 1833 revelation was to provide authoritative and hermeneutical support for the theological innovations presented throughout this revelation. The claim that Smith had access to an unknown record of John supplied evidence for a nineteenth-century audience who saw in the convergence between Smith's revelations and the established biblical text the 'infallible proofs' of Smith's authority. Furthermore, the additional witness of a renowned biblical figure such as John to the innovations introduced by Smith in this revelation demonstrated that Smith's interpretations were sound and reliable."
