The reasons that point to a late date for John's Gospel include:

A) John's material shows a spiritual maturity not present in earlier Gospels.

- This suggests a development in theological understanding over time.

C) John talks mostly of events after Jesus' resurrection.

- Emphasizing post-resurrection events could indicate a theological and reflective perspective that may have developed later.

D) John gives details of certain events that had not been disclosed earlier, possibly for the protection of persons involved.

- Providing additional details not found in earlier Gospels might indicate a later reflection on the events and a consideration for the well-being of individuals involved.

Reason B, "John quotes from the other Gospels," is not necessarily an indicator of a late date. It could suggest familiarity with earlier accounts rather than a later composition.
