Gospel of John created by Melbourne Archdiocese
Catholic Schools (MACS).
 Quick summary of the Gospel of John

• The trailer tells us that a characteristic of the Gospel of John is the

proclamation of Jesus as the incarnation of the Son of God
• The prologue of the gospel of John’s opening words match the opening words
of the Pentateuch(the first five books of the Hebrew Bible: Genesis, Exodus,
Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy)
• The Gospel of John has as its central focus the revelation that in Christ, the
Maker of the Universe, YHWH, the great ‘I Am’ takes flesh and lives among
us.
• One of the ways in which this conviction is expressed in the Gospel is through
an extraordinary series of claims made by Jesus, all of which reveal different
aspects of the divine reality and the relationship of that divine reality to human
beings.
