Some of the more outstanding of these we shall now consider: 1. In John's Gospel there is no genealogy, neither His legal through Joseph, nor his personal through Mary. Nor is there any account of His birth. Instead, as we have seen, He was "In the beginning." For a similar reason, John is silent about Herod's attempt to slay the Christ Child ...

Feb 3, 2016 · 4. The simple answer is that there are some older manuscripts that lack the reading. If credence is placed in the older manuscript, then the reading is left out. The assumption is that the older manuscripts are closer to the source documents. By the way, many view the New World Translation with suspicion.

Johns Gospel omits a large amount of material found in the synoptic Gospels, including some surprisingly important episodes: the temptation of Jesus, Jesus transfiguration, and the institution of the Lords supper are not mentioned by John. John mentions no examples of Jesus casting out demons. The sermon on the mount and the Lords prayer are not fo...
According to John, Jesus public ministry extended over a period of at least three and possibly four years. During this time Jesus goes several times from Galilee to Jerusalem. The synoptics appear to describe only one journey of Jesus to Jerusalem (the final one), with most of Jesus ministry taking place within one year.
The synoptics are written from a third person point of view, describing the events as if the authors had personally observed all of them and were reporting what they saw at the time. Thus they are basically descriptive in their approach. Johns Gospel, on the other hand, although also written from a third person point of view, is more reflective, cl...
There are numerous passages in Johns Gospel which could serve as an example of this later perspective. Four will serve as examples: John makes frequent use of the misunderstood statement as a literary technique. Jesus says something to someone which is misunderstood, thus giving Jesus a further opportunity to clarify what he really meant. Examples:...
In each of these passages it may be easily seen that John has adopted the post-resurrection point of view. He looks back on the events and emphasizes the inability of the apostles to understand the things that were happening in their true perspective at the time they occurred. It is only possible for us to understand these things when we consider t...
The Gospel of John passed on the words of Jesus predominantly in another genre than the synoptics; it did not do so in sayings, parables, and controversy dialogues, but in connected or dialogical discourses.25
Much of this symbolism takes the form of dualistic antitheses: light/darkness (1:4; 3:19; 8:12; 11:9; 12:35, 46); truth/falsehood (8:44); life/death (5:24; 11:25); above/below (8:23); freedom/slavery (8:33, 36). Much of this antithetical dualism is also found in the Qumran (Dead Sea Scrolls) texts. See J. H. Charlesworth, A Critical Comparison of t...
The problem of so-called realized eschatology in the Gospel of John (the term was popularized by C. H. Dodd) can be seen in microcosm in John 5:20b-30. On the one hand there are statements that speak of the parousia (second advent) as a future event in the traditional sense: for an hour is coming when all who are in the tombs will hear his voice an...

Repentance is woven into the very fabric of the Gospel of John, though the word itself is never employed. In the account of Nicodemus, for example, repentance was clearly suggested in Jesus' command to be "born again" (John 3:3-7). Repentance was the point of the Old Testament illustration our Lord gave Nicodemus (John 3:14-15).
Aug 6, 2023 · 9. The Gospels according to Matthew, Mark and Luke narrate the Transfiguration to which three apostles namely, Peter, James and John were the privileged witnesses. But it is quite intriguing why neither the Gospel according to John, nor the Epistles written by him, give an account of the Transfiguration to which he himself was a witness.
A. Data peculiar to John. The relationship between John and the other gospels is seen not only in what John omits, but also in what John includes and the others omit. The prologue is found nowhere else in the Scriptures, and the distinctive contribution is John’s use of the term logos and its application to Christ. The great affirmation is ...

Jun 19, 2018 · This suggests that John 5:4 does not belong in the New Testament, which explains why many modern Bible translations have omitted it. After 1900, translators used new manuscript discoveries from the 1800s, which revealed that the verse was likely not original. This is why verse 4 is listed in the pre-1900 KJV “as is” without brackets (the ...
