Author: The apostle John.

Date Written: Between a.d. 85 and 96.

Time Span: About three and a half years 29–33).

Title: From the book’s author, John.

Background: Although the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, and Luke have different viewpoints, they are quite similar in content and, therefore, are called the Synoptic Gospels. John is called the Supplemental Gospel because it stands uniquely in a class by itself. The book of John is different in many ways: style, structure, use of personal interviews, lack of parables, and spiritual explanations of events. John and his brother James follow John the Baptist until Jesus calls them to follow Him. Jesus refers to these two as “Sons of Thunder,” but later John is referred to as the disciple “whom Jesus loved.” John, along with Peter and James, becomes especially close to Jesus. They alone are with Jesus at the transfiguration (Matthew 17:1-8) and at Gethsemane (Mark 14:32-41). John wrote this book for the specific purpose “that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life through his name” (20:31). John also wrote 1, 2, and 3 John and the book of Revelation.

Where Written: Probably at Ephesus.

To Whom: To the Gentiles and all Christians.

Content: While Luke presents Jesus as the “Son of Man,” John presents Jesus in His deity as the “Son of God.” Jesus’ relationship to the Father is emphasized as He teaches, heals, prays, and ministers. Miracles listed in John include: turning water to wine (2:1-11), feeding of the 5,000 (6:1-14), walking on water (6:16-21), and the raising of Lazarus (11:1-46). But in addition to being totally God, Jesus’ humanity is shown by His being tired, hungry, thirsty, and sorrowful. Seven times Jesus refers to himself in “I am” passages that clearly show His claim to godhood and the way to salvation. After Jesus’ death and resurrection, great detail is given to appearances of the Lord before His ascension.

Key Words: “Word”; “Life”; “Believe.”
Jesus is the preexistent, eternal “Word” who became a man. In order to gain eternal “life,” one must “believe” on the name of Jesus—who always was with God and indeed is God.

Themes: • God loves each of us so much that He gave up His Son so that anyone believing in Jesus shall not perish but shall have eternal life (3:16). • Miracles are given not only to heal but also as signs pointing to Jesus. • God expects us to love not only Him but also our neighbors. • Christ fully understands our hurts—He paid the supreme price to heal them. • The Holy Spirit gives us an eternal peace that the world cannot manufacture or purchase.
