What did I find in my investigation? John’s Gospel has always been recognized as quite different from the other three gospels. Matthew, Mark, and Luke are together called the “synoptic” Gospels, synoptic coming from Greek words meaning “seeing things (opsis) in the same way (syn).” Many of the distinctive features of John’s Gospel make sense on thi...
But in John’s Gospel, from the start the divinity of Jesus is asserted, implicitly but clearly, by Mary. “They are out of wine” she says (2:3). Think about it: what is she suggesting that he do? “Do whatever he tells you,” she says to the servants (2:5). What does she think he might say to them? After all, it was a large wedding feast. The wine had...
Other characteristics of John’s Gospel can be explained in a similar way. Consider the fact of the so-called Prologue, “In the beginning was the Word . . . and the Word became flesh and dwelt among us.” It is a profound theological reflection on the generation of the Son from eternity, and then the Son’s generation as God-man, taking on flesh. It i...
Another large-scale characteristic of the Gospel of John is that it consists of a string of conversations pieced together by a narrative frame. I first understood this clearly when I watched the (fairly good) 2003 movie, The Gospel of John, directed by Philip Saville. The late Christopher Plummer is the narrator. The movie’s script consists solely ...
A last large-scale characteristic which I’ll mention are the details of Our Lord’s compassion so evident in the Gospel of John. He weeps at the tomb of Larazus. He’s moved by the paralytic at the pool. He makes a poultice with his own spittle to apply to the eyes of the man born blind to be washed off in the pool of Siloam. Many commentators have e...
We can view the Magnificat as something like the general framework for the Gospel of John. It should not be surprising that Mary composed, sang, and remembered the Magnificat. Holy persons do similar things all the time, composing prayers and hymns for their private devotion that they say for the remainder of their lives. David is credited with doz...
