Assuming John wrote the Gospel, why did he write it? The best place to start is with his own purpose statement in John 20:30–31: “But these [signs] are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name.”

John was most certainly a Jew and he identifies himself in this gospel as “the disciple whom Jesus loved” (13:23). John and his elder brother James (Acts 12:2) were known as the sons of Zebedee” (Matt 10:2-4) but were also referred to as the “Sons of Thunder” (Mark 3:17) and so there is little doubt that this was the disciple John that is mentioned...
John was written to the church, both then and now, but I also believe it was written for unbelievers as well because the Gospel of John focuses more on the divinity of Jesus Christ than any of the other gospels. It is much different than the synoptic gospels of Matthew, Mark, and Luke. These gospels are closely related in material and their narrati...
If this gospel had a specific purpose statement it would be “that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name” (20:31). The word “believe” appears over 100 times and ties in belief with having eternal life. The most famous or at least the most familiar verse in all the Bible may be J...
The gospel of Johnis my favorite because it elevates the divinity of Jesus Christ and that He is God that humbled Himself and condescended to our level. He was both human and divine…both Man and God.

One theory suggests that John wrote his Gospel in order to offer an eyewitness account of Jesus’s life, teachings, and miracles from an unconventional viewpoint. John wanted to emphasize Jesus was more than a simple prophet or teacher – that He was truly divine!
Apr 26, 2024 · Author: John 21:20–24 describes the author of the gospel of John as “the disciple whom Jesus loved,” and for both historical and internal reasons this is understood to be John the Apostle, one of the sons of Zebedee (Luke 5:10).
In the Gospel of John, Jesus and his disciples go to Judea early in Jesus's ministry before John the Baptist was imprisoned and executed by Herod Antipas. He leads a ministry of baptism larger than John's own.
John wrote 5 books in the New Testament. He wrote The Gospel According to John, First, Second and Third John, and he was the penman of the Book of the Revelation of Jesus Christ. All of his books were written later in life and after all the other books in the Bible were recorded.
