sacred in Christianity. Separated in many sections‚ the Bible includes four gospels by four different authors that tell stories‚ miracles‚ parables‚ teaching and stories telling the world on Jesus’ life.

12/06/2013 Comparing the Gospel of John vs. Mark We can analyze the similarities and divergences between the Gospel of John and the Synoptic Gospel of Mark with Christology‚ Anthropology‚ Soteriolgy‚ and Eschatology. Even though many of the passages could refer to more than just one theology‚ it is achievable to separate the different theologies into the four categories.

PORTRAIT OF JESUS ACCORDING TO THE GOSPEL OF JOHN Prologue: The Gospel according to John presents Jesus as the eternal Word of God who ’became a human being and lived among us’. John has portrayed Jesus as the promised Saviour‚ the Son of God and that those who believe in him and have faith in him will have life (20:31). John’s Gospel and the Book of Genesis both begin with the words ’in the beginning’. The Word is said to be God and with God. The existence of the Word precedes creation and through

passages in the Gospel of John that mention the “beloved Disciple” there is no evidence that it would be one person in particular. The book of John does an excellent job of remaining consistent in story and character of this mystery Disciple. Although Jesus is with him and speaks of him frequently‚ he is certain to not be mentioned by name.

I first heard about the gospel of John‚ but I do remember when we had a big argument about the four gospels. I was born in the Philippines and maybe around seventy to eighty percent of the people believe in Jesus Christ. I was in second year high school then when we had the biggest discussion among my friends. I got four friends and we all have different religions. As much as possible‚ we tried not to talk about religion until we talked about how common the name John was. One thing led to another

things‚ Jesus began His teaching‚ not with words which might have been missed by them‚ but with the two significant actions. The first action was the washing of the disciples feet‚ recorded in John 13:2-11. The second action‚ which I will not talk much about‚ was the giving of the sop to Judas‚ recorded in John 13:21-30. In each case the action is followed by important teaching. Many wonder why Jesus did these actions. The disciples were preoccupied. They disciples were terrified of the Jewish

REQUIREMENTS FOR RLGN 4314 BY JJ LITTLE ANCHORAGE‚ AK SEP 6‚ 2016 It is clear that the lives of the authors of the Gospels and humankind in general were changed by Jesus of Nazareth. The fact that He was both human and Devine and thus a miracle are reinforced by those that have‚ and continue to experience redemption and salvation through His action at Calvary.

Is John Written to a Jewish Audience?

The Gospel of John selects only seven miracles as signs to demonstrate the deity of Christ and to illustrate His ministry. Some of these signs and stories are found only in John.
