John

The book of John begins with the introduction of Jesus as the Word, who is God and created all things, and who came into the world but was not recognized by it. Jesus gathers his disciples, including Andrew, Peter, Philip, and Nathanael, and performs his first miracle at a wedding in Cana. He then travels to Jerusalem, where he drives out the moneychangers and merchants from the temple, and begins teaching about the kingdom of God. Jesus meets with various individuals, including Nicodemus, a Samaritan woman, and a man born blind, and performs miracles, including healing a man who had been sick for 38 years and raising Lazarus from the dead. Jesus teaches about his divinity and his role as the good Shepherd, and he is met with both admiration and hostility from the Jews. As Jesus' time on earth comes to an end, he washes the feet of his disciples, predicts his betrayal, and gives them a new commandment to love one another. Jesus is then arrested, tried, and crucified, but on the third day, he is resurrected and appears to his disciples, giving them the Holy Spirit and granting them the power to forgive sins. After his resurrection, Jesus appears to his disciples several times, including at the Sea of Tiberias, where he instructs Peter to feed his lambs and sheep and foretells his death.
