Gospel of John

The Proclamation of John the Baptist 1 The beginning of the good news of Jesus Christ, the Son of God. 2 As it is written in the prophet Isaiah, “See, I am sending my messenger ahead of you, who will prepare your way; 3 the voice of one crying out in the wilderness: ‘Prepare the way of the Lord, make his paths straight,’” 4 John the baptizer appeared[e] in the wilderness, proclaiming a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins. 5 And people from the whole Judean countryside and all the…

assertion in Chapter 6 of his Gospel would have led to a much better outcome for Dido. He writes the words of Jesus, "Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you. If someone slaps you on one cheek, turn to them the other also. Do to others as you would have them do to you" (Luke 6;27-31). In Chapter 13, John reasserts this notion of love, in the words of Jesus Christ, "love one another: just as I have loved you" (John 13; 34).…

The prologue of John differentiates itself from the synoptic gospels. It does not start with the story of Mary and Joseph and the birth of a baby in Bethlehem. Instead it starts with a story of creation. A story readers have heard a similar version of. This unique poetic opening gives us the readers the idea of the limitless power this word has. Scholars refer to this as the Logos theology, which is a fancy way of saying the Word theology. This theology establishes the importance of the divinity…

like Jesus forgot His mission. Why did Jesus say this? He quoted the first verse of Psalm 22 verbatim. This is a messianic Psalm according to most biblical scholars. When you cross-examine (pun intended) Psalm 22 with what happened to Jesus in the gospels' crucifixion narratives, the similarities are shocking! I'll let you compare them yourself. 3: Jesus Was Called "The King Of The Jews" Plaque nailed above Jesus' head read "King Of The Jews". Recorded in Mark…

These gospels contain a great deal of information about the theology of Christ with some facts of his life included. Unfortunately the history provided by these gospels could have been adapted to fit certain purposes within the faith. Matthew, Mark and Luke are believed to be more accurate than John as they share a larger amount of information as 90% of the book of Mark is included in Matthew. Furthermore, the book of John doesn’t include key events such as the exorcism…

John’s Background John was called by Jesus when he was with his brother James on the shores of Galilee. This calling occurred early in Jesus’ Ministry (John Exiled, 2013). The brothers were fishermen by trade, and preparing to cast their nets when Jesus called them. The story is recorded in Matthew 4, and reports that after the Lord’s call, they immediately left their nets and their father, and went and followed Him (Holy Bible, NIV, 2016). We are not certain if John heard about Jesus…

Christ’s Death and Resurrection in Prophecies Paul in writing many letters to various churches is able to write in great depth on many topics of concern to the early churches. In his first letter to the church of Corinth, Paul conveys that his teachings on the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ are “in accordance with the scriptures” (1 Corinthians 15.3-4). While Paul is directly referencing the prophecies of Jesus, he is also alluding to greater themes within Israel’s Scriptures.…

signs to a hostile world that He was indeed the Christ. John also reveals to his readers that the reason he includes such occurrences in his Gospel is so that “[they] may believe that Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of God, and… have life in his name” (John 20:30-31). Even secular sources record His “wonderful works,” as seen in the written work of first century Jewish historian Josephus (qtd. in Wayne). Back in the Gospels, according to scholars, John accounts for a number of the miracles in a…
