  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," probably the leader of the Johannine community that produced the text.
John 3:16 is one of the most widely known passages in the New Testament: For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him may not perish but may have eternal life.

 Gospel Of St John - LoveToKnow 1911
John the Baptist testified concerning Him, the Logos-Light and Logos-Life incarnate; but this Logos alone, who is in the bosom of the Father, bath declared the very God.
John omits, at the last supper, its central point, the great historic act of the holy eucharist, carefully given by the Synoptists and St Paul, having provided a highly doctrinal equivalent in the discourse on the living bread, here spoken by Jesus in Capernaum over a year before the passion (vi.
The Fourth Gospel is the noblest instance of this kind of literature, of which the truth depends not on the factual accuracy of the symbolizing appearances but on the truth of the ideas and experiences thus symbolized.

 Gospel of St. John
Although in many of the ancient copies this Gospel was, on account of the Apostolic dignity of the author inserted immediately after or even before the Gospel of St. Matthew, the position it occupies today was from the beginning the most usual and the most approved.
As regards its contents, the Gospel of St. John is a narrative of the life of Jesus from His baptism to His Resurrection and His manifestation of Himself in the midst of His disciples.
On such occasions John's interest, both in the narration of the circumstances and in the recording of the discourses and conversation of the Saviour, is a highly theological one.

The Gospel of John begins with a magnificent prologue, which states many of the major themes and motifs of the gospel, much as an overture does for a musical work.
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.

It is the constant and unbroken voice of Tradition that John, the son of Zebedee - the beloved disciple and Apostle of Christ - wrote the fourth Gospel.
St. John wrote his Gospel partly with a view to supplementing those of his predecessors but principally to establish on a firm basis the Divinity of Christ, even then impugned by Cerinth and other heretics.
John's aim is not to rewrite the Synoptics but to give the Church another Gospel, a more profound presentation of the Person and teaching of Christ.

OBJECT AND IMPORTANCE The intention of the Evangelist in composing the Gospel is expressed in the words which we have already quoted: "But these are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God" (xx, 31).
For all time it remains for the Church the most sublime testimony of her faith in the Son of God, the radiant lamp of truth for her doctrine, the never- ceasing source of loving zeal in her devotion to her Master, Who loves her even to the end.

Second, Johannine Christians, the Rosicrucian Brothers, whose symbol was the Rose Cross, representing the mystery of the reborn God, knew that the writer of John's Gospel was the first human to be initiated by Christ Jesus, to be raised from the death of mortal-ego consciousness.
They knew that Lazarus was Christed and renamed John, and that John was subsequently embodied in the 14th century as the Founder of the Brotherhood of the Rose Cross, Christian Rosenkreuz.
John's Gospel, the New Testament's most esoteric account of the life of Christ Jesus, alone elaborates and meditates on the three Persons of God: the Spirit of Truth or Comforter, the I AM or Christ Logos, and the Father.

St. John’s Gospel is placed somewhere sixty to seventy years after the death of Christ.
And St. John’s Gospel is full of fact and familiarity with Jewish customs, seasons, and ritual, the layout and features of Jerusalem, the situation of the Samaritans, the politics of the Romans, Pharisees, Sadducees, and all the rest.
St. John has much of his reflection on sacramental things - bread and wine, body and blood, and baptism - tied into chapter 6, with the feeding of the 5000, and on the Cross in chapter 19.

 The Gospel of St. John
John's subsequent exile to the island of Patmos undoubtedly provided much time for his continuous recollection, understanding, reviewing and meditating on all he had heard Jesus speak and all that he had witnessed.
John's gospel also differs from the other gospels in that John writes of "signs" that Jesus performs rather that "miracles" as do the other evangelists.
John's gospel portrays precisely a supreme effort on the part of Jesus to tell people who He is and to tell people what He has to offer.

 Gospel of St. John: Lecture I
The festival of St. John reminds us that the greatest Individuality who participated in the evolution of humanity was preceded by a `Forerunner', and we here touch upon an important point which must precede our further considerations, also as a kind of `forerunner'.
The author of the Gospel of St. John definitely indicates that the deepest Being enfolded in Jesus of Nazareth was naught else than the Being out of which all beings proceeded; that it was the living spirit, the living Word, the Logos Himself.
John the Baptist, as the forerunner of Jesus of Nazareth, might well say: ‘I came into the world and prepared the way for a [person] Mightier than I. I have preached before men that the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand and that men must change their heart.

To this must be added the express assertion made repeatedly by the Evangelist that he speaks the truth and claims for his words unqualified belief (19:35; 20:30 sq.; 21:24; 1 John 1:1-4).

 Gospel of St. John: Lecture XIII
Then followed a time in which the Gospel of St. Mark began to be less understood; human understanding tended to grasp the whole force of Christ in its inner value for the human soul, and to regard the outer physical world with a certain contempt.
But the Gospel of St. Matthew was originally written in a community in which the chief place was given, not to Christ, but to that individuality who appeared to the world in the person of the Initiate Jesus of Nazareth.
The study of the Gospel of St. John will guide mankind to the fullest comprehension of the scene which was enacted on Golgotha, and will help men to understand the Mystery by which death in its untrue form was overcome in the evolution of humanity.

 THE GOSPEL OF ST. JOHN
John's Gospel is a mystical reflection on the Word Made Flesh, Jesus Christ.
While the Gospel of John has many elements in common with the Synoptic Gospels of Matthew, Mark, and Luke, John's Gospel gives a fresh depiction of the life, passion, death, and resurrection of Jesus.
John portrays Jesus in control of the events leading up to the Crucifixion, as events He must undergo to be obedient to his Father and save mankind.

 NOVA NOTES : THE GOSPEL OF ST. JOHN: THE MOVIE REVIEW
We're used to reading the Gospels all together, and as anyone who reads the Bible knows, there are the three Synoptic Gospels---Matthew, Mark, and Luke, all derived from the same source---probably Mark or the mysterious "Q" that is hypothesized...and then there's John's.
John's claim to be an eyewitness of same is actually pretty solid.
Many have criticized this Gospel for being anti-Semetic, for all that practically all the major characters, good and bad, save for Pilate and the captain of the guard whose son was sick, were Jews.

 The Gospel of St. John and its Relation to the Other Gospels - Rudolf Steiner Anthroposophy lectures
The fourteen lectures given by Rudolf Steiner at Kassel in June and July, 1909 bearing the title The Gospel of St. John and Its Relation to the Other Gospels have to a certain extent been neglected in the English-speaking world.
It covers many of the subjects discussed in the much more popular 1908 cycle on the Gospel of St. John given at Hamburg, but never in exactly the same manner.
Thus there is relatively little duplication between the two cycles, while the later lectures in this beautiful cycle, especially those on what is meant by the overcoming of death by Christ are unique among Steiner's lectures, and ought not to be missed by any student of Anthroposophy.

Also, the commentary bears the fruit of having been written over a time in which Lincoln came to be persuaded that John knew the synoptics.
Lincoln provides his own fresh translation of the gospel text, preferring to make it more literal in nature for purposes of study.
One significant feature of Lincoln’s own perspective is that he joins those scholars who believe that John knew the Synoptic Gospels and that his own gospel represents a unique and creative interpretation of the Synoptic tradition.
