John

John begins before Bethlehem, before creation itself: in the beginning was the Word. The fourth Gospel moves at its own pace, built around seven signs and long, luminous conversations, with Nicodemus at night, a Samaritan woman at a well, a man born blind. Jesus speaks in majestic I am sayings, bread of life, light of the world, resurrection and life. The farewell discourses in the upper room are among the most intimate chapters in Scripture. John writes, he tells us plainly, so that readers may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and have life in his name.
