STUDIES IN JOHN’S GOSPEL
Part One
Requirement:
TheLife Application Bible, preferably the New King James Version (NKJV), as alsoavailable in the following Bible translations: NLT, NIV and the KJV. The LifeApplication Bible is a unique Study Bible with over 10.000 Life application Noteschallenging the student to apply the truths of Scripture to everyday life. It includes Bookintroductions, in text maps and charts, personality profiles, topical index, and otherfeatures bringing additional clarity to the Holy Scriptures.
How to proceed:
(a)
Read the portion through, and jot down rough notes on the main subject orsubjects with which it deals. When a clear grasp of the general contents of thepassage has been obtained, then write out the answers to the questions, leaving abrief time at the end for practical application.(b)
Look at the questions first and deal with them during the first reading of thepassage, jotting down rough notes on them. Maybe, there will be time for asecond reading.(c)
Whatever the actual system may be used, it is essential to realise that answeringquestions is simply a means to an end. However, at some stage, time should begiven to such prayerful meditation as will lead to personal appropriation of thespiritual message, and if desired, the recording of spiritual impressions.(d)
Share your results with others. Mutual discussion is the most effective andprofitable method of checking our own individual ideas; as it also deepens ourmutual fellowship in the things of Christ, and it provides a fresh stimulus toproceed in the study of the Word of God, that we may become:“… Those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern….”(Hebrews 5: 14)

His mother was one of those women who followed Jesus andcontributed to His support (compare Luke 8: 03; Matthew 27: 55-56; Mark 15: 40-41).John was unquestionably one of the two disciples who followed Jesus at the beginning of His ministry (John 1: 35-37). About a year later, John was named one of the twelveapostles (Matthew 10: 02). John, along with Peter and James, was one of the three who
