Kermode brings out the serialelement in John's narrative, its episodic rather than sequential character, or, as he himself 12. Kermode, 'John', p. 440.

The narratee must know of them, but not the implied reader, who is bound to follow the sequence of the text. Nevertheless it is hard to see how this observation could be used, if not to suggest an author's anticipation of various types of intended readers.
