USCCB - NAB - John - Introduction |
 | | The whole gospel of John is a progressive revelation of the glory of God's only Son, who comes to reveal the Father and then returns in glory to the Father. |
| | John 21 seems to have been added after the gospel was completed; it exhibits a Greek style somewhat different from that of the rest of the work. |
| | Among them are the opposition to the synagogue of the day and to John the Baptist's followers, who tried to exalt their master at Jesus' expense, the desire to show that Jesus was the Messiah, and the desire to convince Christians that their religious belief and practice must be rooted in Jesus. |
