The Gospel of John was likely scribed by Andrew in the presence of John and others, just as Hebrews was Paul’s Gospel, sent by Luke by way of Mark to Ephesus after the June 29, 57 A.D. deaths of Peter and Paul, John (and the Church of Ephesus) being the recognized “son of thunder” leadership of the Churches (with Peter’s departure) until John’s death about 41 years later.
There is a very intriguing story, unique to the Gospel of John, about a wedding attended by Jesus and his disciples at the Galilean village of Cana (John 2:1–11). Within the Gospel of John the story functions in a theological and even allegorical manner—it is the “first” of seven signs, the “water into wine” story, but that is not ...

Traditionally, the Christian site of the Siloam Pool was the pool and church that were built by the Byzantine empress Eudocia (c. 400–460 A.D.) to commemorate the miracle recounted in the New Testament. However, the exact location of ...
Most general Bible readers have the mistaken impression that Matthew, the opening book of the New Testament, must be our first and earliest Gospel, with Mark, Luke and John following. The assumption is that this order of the Gospels is a chronological one, when in fact it is a theological one.

The elderly man’s response was, “It says in the Book of Revelations [sic] that the angels will stand on the four corners of the earth. The earth couldn’t have four corners if it was round.”.
