Gospel of John Commentary

John’s gospel was the last written; his style and content differs much from the other gospels. Most of the book covers only 3 weeks in the life of Jesus with John devoting 10 chapters to the final week before the crucifixion. John's purpose for writing is so that you might believe that Jesus is the Christ, and you might have life through His name (John 20:30-31); he chooses specific events from the life of Jesus to meet that goal.

John was in the “inner circle” of disciples (which included Peter and James also) and many times had first-hand experience of events the other disciples didn’t. John was also the last disciple alive (even Paul was gone) and possessed considerable apostolic authority — his account is authoritative and provides details not found in the other gospel accounts.

This study in the Gospel of John began in 2004 and was completed in 2006, providing a complete verse by verse commentary on the entire book.

For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast. For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them. (Ephesians 2:8-10 KJV)
