  Gospel of John - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Gospel of John is the fourth gospel in the canon of the New Testament, traditionally ascribed to John the Evangelist.
This date is assumed in large part because John 21, the so-called "appendix" to John, is largely concerned with explaining the death of the "beloved disciple," supposedly the leader of the Johannine community that would have produced the text.
One of the earliest known manuscripts of the New Testament is a fragment from John.

 SparkNotes: The New Testament: The Gospel According to John (John)
The Gospel According to John develops a Christology—an explanation of Christ’s nature and origin—while leaving out much of the familiar material that runs through the synoptic Gospels of Matthew, Mark and Luke, including Jesus’ short aphorisms and parables, references to Jesus’ background, and proclamations about the kingdom of God.
John the Baptist has continued his baptizing, and someone informs him that Jesus too has begun to baptize, assuming that John would be angry at the competition.
The Gospel of John is perhaps the most difficult of the Gospels to understand, not because John is more complex than the others—Luke is perhaps the most technically difficult of the Gospels—but because it is so different from the other Gospels.

Johns awareness of Jesus as incarnate enables him, in a Gospel so characterized by a sense of Jesus divinity, to portray Jesus submissiveness to the Father, the equally necessary (because expressive of Jesus humanity) characteristic of the "Word made flesh", i.e., the Son of God become man: 5:19, 20-23 l0:14f 12:28
For St. John Jesus is The Word made flesh, come to give life to men, and this, The mystery of The Incarnation, dominates The whole of Johns thought.
