The Gospel According to John

3 Simon Peter saith unto them, I go a fishing. They say unto him, We also go with thee. They went forth, and entered into a ship immediately; and that night they caught nothing.
4 But when the morning was now come, Jesus stood on the shore: but the disciples knew not that it was Jesus.
5 Then Jesus saith unto them, Children have ye any meat? They answered him, No.
6 And he said unto them, Cast the net on the right side of the ship, and ye shall find. They cast therefore, and now they were not able to draw it for the multitude of fishes.

- John 21:3-6
 
7 Therefore that disciple whom Jesus loved saith unto Peter, It is the Lord. Now when Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he girt his fisher's coat unto him, (for he was naked) and did cast himself into the sea.
8 And the other disciples came in a little ship; (for they were not far from land, but as it were two hundred cubits) dragging the net with fishes.

- John 21:7,8
 
9 As soon then as they were come to land, they saw a fire of coals there, and fish laid thereon, and bread.
10 Jesus saith unto them, Bring of the fish which ye have now caught.
11 Simon Peter went up, and drew the net to land full of fishes, an hundred and fifty and three: and for all there were so many, yet was not the net broken.

- John 21:9,10,11
 
12 Jesus saith unto them, Come and dine. And none of the disciples durst ask him, Who art thou? knowing that it was the Lord.
13 Jesus then cometh, and taketh bread, and giveth them, and fish likewise.
14 This is now the third time that Jesus shewed himself to his disciples, after that he was risen from the dead.

-John 21:12,13,14
 
Christ speaks to Peter

15 So when they had dined, Jesus saith to Simon Peter, Simon, son of Jo'-nas, lovest thou me more than these? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. He saith unto him, Feed my lambs.
16 He saith to him again the second time, Simon, son of Jo'nas, lovest thou me? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. He saith unto him, Feed my sheep.
17 He saith unto him the third time, Simon, son of Jo'nas, lovest thou me? Peter was grieved because he said unto him the third time, Lovest thou me? And he said unto him, Lord, thou knowest all things; thou knowest that I love thee. Jesus saith unto him Feed my sheep.
18 Verily,verily I say unto thee, When thou wast young, thou girdest thyself, and walkedst whither thou wouldest; but when thou shalt be old, thou shalt stretch forth thy hands, and another shall gird thee, and carry thee whither thou wouldest not.
19 This spake he, signifying by what death he should glorify God. And when he had spoken this, he saith unto him, Follow me.
20 Then Peter, turning about, seeth the disciple whom Jesus loved following; which also leaned on his breast at supper, and said, Lord which is he that betrayeth thee?
21 Peter seeing him saith to Jesus, Lord, and what shall this man do?
22 Jesus saith unto him, If I will that he tarry till I come, what is that to thee? follow thou me.
23 Then went this saying abroad among the brethren, that that disciple should not die: yet Jesus said not unto him, He shall not die: but, If I will that he tarry till I come, what is that to thee?

- John 21:15-23
 
The Conclusion of John's Gospel

24 This is the disciple which testifieth of these things, and wrote these things: and we know that his testimony is true, 25 And there are also many other things which Jesus did, the which, if they should be written every one, I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that should be written. A-men'.

-John 21:24,25

This thread is dedicated to Lord Jesus Christ. It is the Book of John. Some people do not own a bible. By being able to read the bible on USMB they do not have to leave the board to look up a scripture they can just go to USMB and look up the Book, Chapter and verse. I would love to be able to type out the entire New Testament on USMB and perhaps that will happen but for now we can begin with the book of John.

The introduction to the Book of John from my bible is the following:

Just as a coin has two sides, both valid, so Jesus Christ has two natures, both valid. Luke presents Christ in his humanity as the Son of Man, John portrays Him in His deity as the Son of God. John's purpose is crystal clear, to set forth Christ in His deity in order to spark believing faith in his readers, John's gospel is topical, not primarily chronological, and it revolves around seven miracles and seven "I am" statements from Christ.

Following an extended eyewitness description of the Upper Room meal and discourse, John records events leading up to the Resurrection, the final climactic proof that Jesus is who He claims to be - the Son of God.

The title of the Fourth Gospel follows the same format as the titles of the synoptic Gospels: Kata Ioannen, "According to John." As with the others, the word "Gospel" was added later. Ioannes is derived from the Hebrew name Johanan. "Yahweh Has Been Gracious."

This is from NELSON 2625 Bible Authorized King James Version from Thomas Nelson Bibles - A division of Thomas Nelson, Inc. Thomas Nelson
Through out the book John and Jesus remind everyone he is the SON of God NOT God. he insists that all his power comes from his father and that nothing he does is from his own power. Yet you would have us believe that he is God.
 
Wrong. Read through the thread and note the Scriptures that Jesus never denied He was and is God. Jesus is God, Sarge.
 
For those seeking a relationship with Jesus Christ as their Personal Savior - this is the Book to read. The Book of John is where a person seeking to know God can truly encounter Him in a most wonderful way. Please read through this book today and let the LORD minister to you.
 
I did notice that--in addition to being the most supernatural of the gospels--it is the only one that states the divinity of Jesus.

the entire bible declares the divinity of Jesus Christ - both Old and New Testament beginning with Genesis and ending with The Revelation of Jesus Christ.
