Gospel of John

The Gospel of John is unlike the rest of the Gospels. Over 90% of the text in John is unique. John has had more effect on the Christian community then all of the other Gospels. The Gospel of John contains four main parts:
    1. Prologue
    2. The Book of Signs
    3. The Passion narrative
    4. The epilogue

The Prologue is a hymn identifying Jesus as the Logos and as God. The Book of Signs recounts Jesus' public ministry, and includes the signs worked by Jesus and some of his teachings. The Passion narrative recounts The Last Supper focusing mostly on Jesus' farewell discourse, Jesus' arrest and crucifixion, his burial, and resurrection. The epilogue records a resurrection appearance of Jesus to his disciples in Galilee.
