John 20, is one of the most understood passages, but the most important to us today. In John 20, it speaks to the world about one of the most exciting, loving, signs from God that was displayed in the bible. The resurrection give all of us the hope and faith we need to have that eternal relationship with the father. The narrative of the resurrection started early with the arrest and crucifixion of Jesus. The resurrection gives us instruction just like Jesus gave instruction to Mary after his resurrection. The gospel of John narrative story is like the conclusion to chapter 20, even though John continued at a later time and wrote chapter 21 on Thomas on a fishing trip. John through his writing has given the reader’s a clear understanding of

  • Analysis of the Gospel of John

    868 Words  | 2 Pages

    The Gospel of John, the last of the four gospels in the Bible, is a radical departure from the simple style of the synoptic gospels. It is the only one that does not use parables as a way of showing how Jesus taught, and is the only account of several events, including the raising of Lazarus and Jesus turning water into wine. While essentially the gospel is written anonymously, many scholars believe that it was written by the apostle John sometime between the years 85 and 95 CE in Ephesus. The basic story is that of a testimonial of one of the Apostles and his version of Jesus' ministry. It begins by telling of the divine origins of the birth of Jesus, then goes on to prove that He is the Son of God because of the miracles he performs and finally describes Jesus' death and resurrection.

  • John 20 19: 29 From The Gospel Of John

    1337 Words  | 3 Pages

    In this particular pericope, John 20 19:29, from the gospel of John provides for the reader an account of the resurrected Christ appearing to his disciples. I have clearly demarcated the boundaries of this passage to contain full, clear thoughts and capture the story that is at hand. Verse 19 begins with, “so when it was evening on that day” which tells the reader that there is a change in scenery and narrative. Verse 30 begins with “therefore” and begins a short explanation as to why the gospel was written. One might say that this pericope could be broken up at verse 24, but the use of δέ (but) tells us that 24-29 is contingent on what is happening in 19-23 and is therefore included. This text belongs in the genre of narrative, as it continues the story of the resurrected Christ that began in the beginning of the chapter. Not only is the text narrative, but it is a gospel narrative which is of note. When reading the gospels, and particularly John, every aspect of the story is important for it was carefully chosen, discerned, and retold “so that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing you may have life in His name” (Jn. 20:31b).

    I find Lanes understanding of the disciples experience of the resurrection very helpful. There is no way to come up with your opinion fully without hearing all possible stories. When you hear many different stories, opinions, and facts it gives you more knowledge and insight about the subject where you can draw your own conclusion from that. Listening to these different ideas and opinions doesn’t mean you have to necessarily agree with it, the choice is left up to you to decipher truth from fabrication, lies, embellishment, persuasion stories, etc. Which is extremely relevant and difficult in this situation.

    ...e, but Jesus knew what would happen. Then Jesus did something extraordinary. He walked on water. Jesus saw that the disciples were in trouble and so he went out to help them. In the twelfth chapter of John, he predicts his death. He told the disciples that who ever served him, that his father would honor them. In chapter thirteen Jesus predicts his betrayal. Jesus knew that Judas Iscariot would betray him for money. Judas was offered thirty silver coins. The people who hated Jesus arrested him. Jesus also told of Peter. He said, "I tell you the truth, before the rooster crows, you will disown me three times" (Holy Bible 803). Later it talks about Jesus and his crucifixion. John loved the Lord so much. He stayed in Jerusalem until the death of Mary. John was also the only disciple to die of a natural cause. John died at about the age of one hundred.

  • John The Savage Analysis

    1097 Words  | 3 Pages

    John the Savage is a peculiar case within Aldous Huxley 's "Brave New World." His thoughts ran deep, deeper than any primitive native within his reservation. Three distinctly different views aided these thoughts, Linda 's highly spoken words of the brave new world, the Pueblo men and their traditional beliefs, and Shakespeare 's romanticized notions. The collision of these three worlds thus compose the mind of John the Savage, a mind with a belief in a god, a naive view of a world only spoken of, and a dependence on Shakespeare for emotional expression. Undoubtedly, John is a product of tragedy and disorder, conditions necessary for great art, beauty humanity can no longer risk.

  • Essay On The Gospel Of John

    1149 Words  | 3 Pages

    Reading the Bible takes time and patience. Understanding the meaning of the stories can make the Bible more interesting to read. The baptism of Jesus is one such story that may seem small, but it has a deeper meaning to it that sheds some light on Jesus’s mission. The baptism of Jesus is recorded or indicated in all four gospels of the New Testament. It was specifically mentioned in Matthew 3:13-17, Mark 1:9-11, Luke 3:21-22, and John 1:24-34. All the gospels give different accounts of how the baptism took place. True to their name, the Synoptic Gospels have stories that are almost similar, but the Gospel of John has its own unique story. Understanding the different accounts of the baptism is crucial to understanding the significance of why Jesus was baptized and by whom.

    In the gospels of Mark and John, both showed a vivid portrait of Jesus in their writing. Mark’s gospel describes much more of Jesus' life, miracles, and parables as suffering servant. However, John’s gospel was written to convince people to believe that Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of God. Nonetheless, both John and Mark present many of the crucial events of Jesus' life, including his trial, crucifixion, and resurrection.

    The four gospels are detailed accounts of the life and ministry of Jesus Christ. Each portrays a unique story and angle of Jesus, who is the savior of the Jews and the world. Apostle Matthew’s writings are to prove to the Jews that Jesus is their Messiah. Mark stressed the humanity of Jesus and also his deity. Luke wanted to show that the gentile Christian in God’s kingdom is based on the teachings of Jesus. John speaks of Jesus as one sent from God to reveal His love and grace to man. The four gospels work together to elaborate on the several key themes; salvation, spreading His word, and the fulfillment of Jesus’ promise.

    The movie The Gospel of John (Seville, 2005) is a visual representation of the accounts of Jesus Christ life on earth. The big picture is that of God’s plan for a personal relationship with us. When God created humans, he put them into relationships, first with him and then with each other. The strength of the movie is how Jesus core values of truth, love and compassion are portrayed through his relationship with his disciples. Jesus fostered the relationships with his disciples, showing love through his teachings and interactions with societal outcast.

  • The Importance Of Eternal Life In The Gospel Of John

    618 Words  | 2 Pages

    In the Gospel of John, Jesus is always talking about “eternal life.” “Do not work for the food that perishes, but for the food that endures for eternal life,”24 he tells the crowd that is following him. “I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never be hungry, and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty.”25 “Eternal life” is often interpreted to mean living forever in heaven after we die, but Jesus uses this term in a more urgent way, to mean the abundant life we receive when we live in the “unending presence of God.”26 Because God is the Creator of life, God is the only true Source of life. Jesus informs the crowd that he has come to bring them back to the Source of life, and they can partake in this abundance right now. If they will only drop their preoccupation with finding life in other places, if they will only stop trying to stockpile life for themselves, if they can only trust Jesus, then they will find life that is more abundant than they could ever have imagined. Of course, the crowd cannot obtain the life that Jesus offers without help. John Wesley understood...

  • The Gospel According To St John Analysis

    1764 Words  | 4 Pages

    The Gospel According to St. John was written during the first century AD in Asian Minor. The author of the book cannot be definitively proven according to the Zinderfan Pictorial Bible Dictionary but there is strong evidence that the author was John the apostle. The author had an intimate knowledge of Jewish traditions and the geography of Palestine. The gospel goes into many explanations of these things because its intended audience was gentiles. It is unlikely a gentile would have had the knowledge to give the background information that the author presents. The writer of the gospel identifies himself as the "disciple who Jesus loved." In the gospel most of the disciples were mentioned by name and so can be eliminated as the author of the gospel. Those not mentioned included Mathew, James the less, Simon the Zealot, James, and John.
