And then we have some guidelines in the catechism about it being a revelation of who Jesus Christ is. And that's where we get to today with the Gospel of John. And the Gospel of John is different. Everybody knows there's four Gospels. And the question would come up, well, wouldn't it have been okay to just do maybe one? Just have one.

Right, right. But the reason for that is that all four Gospels have a different emphasis, and some of the Gospels share stories. So, for example, Matthew, Mark, and Luke seem to be sharing material, the same stories, the same miracles, some of the dialogue. And so, John stands out because John is really different than those other three Gospels in

Not to mention that John is really for more of a universal audience. But there is an emphasis on each of the Gospels. In Matthew, we see Jesus as king. In Mark, we see Jesus as the servant. In Luke, we see Jesus the man, the humanity. And in John, we see God, Jesus as king. God.

In fact, you know, in Matthew's gospel, it starts off with a genealogy and it goes back to a son of David, whereas John starts off and says, in the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. And so, it starts off with the divinity of Jesus. A few other things that are really interesting as people are going to go through this with you.

There's only eight miracles recorded in John, and six of those miracles are very peculiar to John. John doesn't have any parables, whereas Matthew had nine of them. Luke had five. 35 parables. He taught very much in a Hebraic way that way.

But one of the things that's beautiful about John is that every single chapter provides kind of a separate portrait of who Christ is and what he has demonstrated as far as being God. And so you could say that the synoptic gospels, Matthew, Mark, and Luke, they tell us what Jesus did. John tells us who he is. in a real beautiful way.

Another thing that's interesting is that John, over one-third of John's gospel, chapters 12 through 19, covers the last week of Jesus. And so it really focuses on that crucial work that he did, that centerpiece of his death, burial, and resurrection. That's a really, really important point. And our response to the Gospel of John is the word believe.
