As to positive evidence

Lets quote
an author from the 2nd who heard Polycarp in his youth and
Polycarp knew the Apostle John, Irenaeus of Lyons.

"So Matthew ... issued a writting of the gospel...Peter and Paul
were preaching the gospel at Rome...after their decease, Mark, the
disciple
and interpreter of Peter, also handed down to us in writting what Peter



had preached. Then Luke, the follower of Paul, recorded in a book
the gospel as it was preached by him. Finally John, the disciple of the



Lord,
who had also lain on his breast, himself published the Gospel,
while he was residing at Ephesus in Asia."


"Early Christian Fathers", Cyril C. Richardson,

Please quote an ancient author that says
Irenaeus of Lyons circa 180 A. D. is wromg.

Let me see if I've got this straight. Irenaeus of Lyons wrote that Polycarp
said that He know the Apostle John who related a narrative about Jesus.
And you accept the narrative about Jesus because no ancient author disputes
Irenaeus' claim about hearing Polycarp's hearsay. Have I got that right?
