Of the four Gospels in the Bible, the Gospel written by John is my favourite book in the Bible which is a collection of 66 books. I tell anyone who lacks time, yet desires an intimate relationship with Jesus Christ to read this Gospel.
John called himself the ‘beloved disciple’ of Jesus. He laid his head on Jesus’ chest during the Last Supper. This gospel has many personal accounts of Jesus.
Unlike the Gospels of Mathew, Mark, Luke which are synoptic Gospels, John’s Gospel has the highest number of statements by Jesus, including ‘I am’ statements. This gospel has many beautiful verses of great truth. I invite you to feast on a selection of verses as an appetizer so that you thirst and hunger to read the whole Gospel of John multiple times.
Many verses from John’s Gospel are treasured by many. These are grouped so you can relish them depending on your taste. Click on the verses you wish to navigate to.
