The Gospel of John

The Gospel of John

John’s Gospel differs from the Synoptic Gospels (Matthew, Mark, and Luke) by focusing on Jesus’ divine nature. It begins with the famous statement: “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.”
John highlights Jesus’ seven miracles (signs), such as turning water into wine and raising Lazarus, proving His divine authority. He also records the seven "I AM" statements, where Jesus declares His identity (e.g., "I am the Bread of Life," "I am the Good Shepherd").
John contains long discourses, including Jesus’ conversation with Nicodemus about being "born again" and His prayer for unity before His crucifixion. The book ends with Jesus’ death, resurrection, and His post-resurrection appearances. John’s Gospel emphasizes Jesus as the Son of God who offers eternal life to all who believe.
