Overview of The Gospel of John:
The Gospel of John is written by one of Jesus Christ’s disciples, John, the son of Zebedee. This Gospel is 21 Chapters long. John is described as the “Disciple of Whom Jesus loved”. It has been determined by biblical scholars that John wrote The Gospel of John (also known as “According to John”).
It was written around A.D. 80-90, about 50 years after he witnesses Jesus’ earthly ministry under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit and as an eyewitness in composing the gospel. He is not John the Baptist. However, in this book, John the Baptist is discussed.
The Gospel of John explains who Jesus Christ is before creation. It establishes his deity as Creator of the World, The Father (I AM), and is the long-awaited Messiah, the Son of God in the flesh. Its purpose is to explain that even though Jesus is the Creator and God (I AM), believers are to understand that Jesus is the Son of God that came in the flesh and yet while we were sinners, died for our sins and rose again to become Savior of the World-reconnecting us to God. That is why we pray to the father in Jesus Christ’s name.
Defeating death and sin by the shedding of his blood and life, Jesus gives the gift of everlasting life with repentance. That by believing you may have life in his name (20:31) John 3:16 “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” God is omnipresent meaning he can be in more than one place at the same time. He can be on earth (flesh) and in heaven (spirit) at the same time.
Revelation 19:6 “And I heard as it were the voice of a great multitude, and as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of mighty thundering, saying, Alleluia: for the Lord God omnipotent reigneth.”
Isaiah 9:6 “For unto us a child is born, unto us a son, is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.”

Time: 45 minutes to complete lesson: 30 minutes to read the entire post and take the interactive quiz, additional 15 minutes to read the bible chapter.
Overview of Chapter Eleven
Jesus goes to Judea to see Lazarus of Bethany, the town of Mary, and her sister Martha. Lazarus is the brother of Mary. This is the same Mary who anointed the Lord with expensive oil and wiped his feet with her hair. Jesus loves Mary, Martha, and Lazarus. He wept for them. Jesus raised Lazarus from the dead by calling him by name. Lazarus had been dead four days. In a previous chapter, Jesus referred to a personal relationship with his followers (sheep), as he knows them by name. He also states that he will call them by name and raise them up on the last day. In this chapter, we learn that Jesus states he is the resurrection.
He has life in him. Jesus declares he has the power to lay down his own life and pick it up again. People believed in Jesus because of the miracle. Some people told the Pharisee’s officials what Jesus had done. The Pharisees became afraid that Jesus would have too many believers, and the Romans would come and take away their place and nation. The Pharisees decided to “put Jesus to death”. Jesus and his disciples left and went to Ephriam. The Passover of the Jews was near. The Pharisees told everyone that if any of them saw Jesus report to them where he was so they could seize him.

Highlights of Gospel of John- Chapter Eleven (KJV) Scripture for Quiz.
The miracle that demonstrated that Jesus calls his followers by name to raise them from the dead. A miracle that glorified the powers of Jesus Christ. John 11: 31-45 KJV, and Jesus’ love for Lazarus, Mary, and Martha.
31The Jews then which were with her in the house, and comforted her, when they saw Mary, that she rose up hastily and went out, followed her, saying, She goeth unto the grave to weep there.
32Then when Mary came where Jesus was and saw him, she fell down at his feet, saying unto him, Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died.
33When Jesus, therefore, saw her weeping, and the Jews also weeping which came with her, he groaned in the spirit, and was troubled,
34And said, Where have ye laid him? They said unto him, Lord, come and see.
35Jesus wept.
36Then said the Jews, Behold how he loved him!
37And some of them said, Could not this man, which opened the eyes of the blind, have caused that even this man should not have died?
38Jesus therefore again groaning in himself cometh to the grave. It was a cave, and a stone lay upon it.
39Jesus said, Take ye away the stone. Martha, the sister of him that was dead, saith unto him, Lord, by this time he stinketh: for he hath been dead four days.
40Jesus saith unto her, Said I not unto thee, that, if thou wouldest believe, thou shouldest see the glory of God?
41Then they took away the stone from the place where the dead was laid. And Jesus lifted up his eyes, and said, Father, I thank thee that thou hast heard me.
42And I knew that thou hearest me always: but because of the people which stand by I said it, that they may believe that thou hast sent me.
43And when he thus had spoken, he cried with a loud voice, Lazarus, come forth.
44And he that was dead came forth, bound hand and foot with graveclothes: and his face was bound about with a napkin. Jesus saith unto them, Loose him and let him go.
45Then many of the Jews which came to Mary, and had seen the things which Jesus did, believed in him.
The political reason government officials plot to “put Jesus to death”. Even though many believed in Jesus because of his miracle, and his love for Lazarus, Mary, and Martha. John 11: 45-52
45Then many of the Jews which came to Mary, and had seen the things which Jesus did, believed in him.
46But some of them went their ways to the Pharisees and told them what things Jesus had done.
47Then gathered the chief priests and the Pharisees a council, and said, What do we? for this man doeth many miracles.
48If we let him thus alone, all men will believe in him: and the Romans shall come and take away both our place and nation.
49And one of them, named Caiaphas, being the high priest that same year, said unto them, Ye know nothing at all,
50Nor consider that it is expedient for us, that one man should die for the people, and that the whole nation perishes not.
51And this spake he not of himself: but being high priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus should die for that nation;51And this spake he not of himself: but being high priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus should die for that nation;
52And not for that nation only, but that also he should gather together in one the children of God that were scattered abroad. 53Then from that day forth they took counsel together for to put him to death.
