John

The book of John tells the story of Jesus' life, ministry, death, and resurrection. It begins with Jesus as the Word, who is God, and his creation of all things, and then describes his incarnation as a human being. Jesus gathers disciples, including Andrew, Peter, Philip, and Nathanael, and performs many miracles, including turning water into wine, healing a blind man, and raising Lazarus from the dead. Jesus teaches about the kingdom of God, the importance of faith, and the need for people to be born again. He also claims to be the door to salvation, the good shepherd, and the bread of life. As Jesus' popularity grows, the Pharisees and other Jewish leaders become increasingly hostile towards him, and eventually plot to kill him. Jesus is betrayed by Judas, arrested, and put on trial, where he is sentenced to death by crucifixion. After his death, Jesus is buried, but on the third day, he rises from the dead and appears to his disciples, giving them the Holy Spirit and instructing them to spread his teachings. The book concludes with Jesus' final appearances to his disciples, including a meal with them and instructions to Peter to feed his sheep.
