INTRODUCTION 06 Week 01 / John 1-2
OVERVIEW
The first two chapters of John set the tone for the entire book. John reminds us that Jesus is both the Son of God and also God. John 1 points us to the Trinity (God the Father, Jesus the Son and The Holy Spirit). John reminds us of the incarnation of Jesus - God with skin-on. John the Baptist prepares the way for Jesus’ coming.
Sometimes we picture Jesus as nice and safe, however in John 2 we find Jesus in the temple making a whip and flipping tables over. Jesus was passionate about God’s house.
MEMORIZATION
JOHN 1:17-18
17 For the law was given through Moses, but God’s unfailing love and faithfulness came through Jesus Christ. 18 No one has ever seen God. But the unique One, who is himself God, is near to the Father’s heart. He has revealed God to us.

OVERVIEW
Jesus tells the Pharisee Nicodemus that unless someone is born again, they cannot see the kingdom of God. You must be born of water and the Sprit. As Moses lifted up the bronze serpent in the wilderness, so shall the Son of Man be lifted, that whoever believes in him shall not perish, but have eternal life. The Son is sent to save, not condemn. Light has come into the world, but humanity love the darkness more. Those who believes in the Son will have eternal life.
Jesus travels to Galilee via Samaria. Jesus asks a Samaritan woman at a well for a drink. The Samaritan woman is surprised, as Samaritans have no dealings with Jews. Jesus says that whoever drinks water from this well will thirst again, who whoever drinks living water shall never thirst. Jesus confronts the woman for having five husbands. A time is coming when God will be worshipped neither on a mountain nor in Jerusalem, but in spirit and truth. Jesus tells the woman that he is the Messiah. The woman tells her neighbours, and spreads the news. Jesus says his food is to do the will of Him who sent him. Through Jesus, his disciples may reap that for which they have not laboured – fruit for eternal life. Jesus heals a Government official’s son at Capernaum.
MEMORIZATION
JOHN 4:23
23 But the time is coming—indeed it’s here now—when true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and in truth. The Father is looking for those who will worship him that way.

OVERVIEW
Those who are sick hope to be cured by bathing in the pool of Bathesda. Jesus heals a man who has been lying there sick for 38 years. Jesus tells him to take up his mat and walk – he is healed. Some religious leaders take offence that this has been done on a Sabbath. Jesus speaks to them. The Son can do nothing of himself. The Father commits all authority to the Son. Jesus is a just judge who follows the will of God. Jesus does not bear witness for himself (which would be invalid in a court of law) – another bears witness to him. If you do not believe the Son, you do not have the word of the Father dwelling within you.
Jesus feeds the five thousand with five loaves of bread and two small fishes. The crowd want to force him to be their king, but he slips away. The disciples go out on the sea of Galilee, and a storm is upon them. Jesus walks on water. Do not be concerned about food that perishes, but for the food that leads to eternal life. Focus on what lasts beyond life.Jesus says he is living bread from heaven, and the bread of life. Everyone who sees the Son and believes will have everlasting life. The bread is his flesh – this speaks to communion that we do (also called Eucharist) where we eat Jesus’ flesh (bread) and drink his blood (wine), remaining in him. No one can come to Jesus unless it has been granted by him by the Father. Jesus knew from the beginning that Judas would betray him.
MEMORIZATION

39 You search the Scriptures because you think they give you eternal life. But the Scriptures point to me!

OVERVIEW
Jesus brothers advise him to carry out his ministry at Jerusalem, at the time of the Feast of Tabernacles. Jesus says his time has not yet come. Jesus goes secretly to Jerusalem, where he is accused and questioned. Jesus teaches in the temple, explaining his doctrine is that of He who has sent him. (Jesus talks many times about being sent and not acting on his own authority in John.) Some try to seize him, but they do not, because Jesus’ hour had not yet come. ‘If anyone thirsts, let him come to me and drink.’ The crowds are divided as to whether Jesus is a true prophet or not.
The scribes and Pharisees ask if they may stone a woman accused of adultery. Let the one who is without sin cast the first stone. ‘I am the light of the world.’ Jesus does not bear witness of himself; He who sent him bears witness. The Father is known through the Son. Jesus reminds people that unless they turn to him, they will die in their sins. They are of this world, Jesus is not of this world. ‘He who sent me is with me…The truth shall set you free.’ Whoever commits sin is a slave of sin.
MEMORIZATION
JOHN 8:12
12 Jesus spoke to the people once more and said, “I am the light of the world. If you follow me, you won’t have to walk in darkness, because you will have the light that leads to life.”

OVERVIEW
Jesus heals a blind man. The Pharisees cast him out when the blind man declares that Jesus’ power is from God. The blind man worships Jesus. Jesus comments on the Pharisees’ spiritual blindness.
Jesus is the true, legitimate shepherd, who enters in the way that is proper and prepared (by Old Testament prophecies). ‘I am the door of the sheep’ – others are thieves and robbers. Jesus has come that people might have life, and have an abundant life. Jesus is the good shepherd, who gives his life for his flock. Jesus speaks of other flocks, ie gentile believers. Jesus claims power over life and death. Jesus is accused of being demon-possessed, but asks whether a demon-possessed man can open the eyes of the blind. During Hanukkah, Jesus says that his sheep respond to his voice, whereas those who are not his sheep do not. ‘I am my Father are one.’
MEMORIZATION
JOHN 9:39
39 Then Jesus told him, “I entered this world to render judgment— to give sight to the blind and to show those who think they see that they are blind.”

OVERVIEW
Mary of Bethany, who had anointed Jesus’ feet with oil, has a brother, Lazarus, who is sick. Jesus arrives in Bethany when Lazarus has died and been buried for four days. Jesus says he is the resurrection and the life. Jesus comes to the tomb. Jesus wept. Jesus commands the stone of the tomb to be rolled away. Jesus thanks the Father for hearing him, then commands Lazarus to come forth. The Jewish rulers plot Jesus’ death, so Jesus no longer openly walks among them.
Jesus comes to Bethany, where Martha serves him, and Mary anoints his feet with expensive oil. Judas Iscariot objects that Mary might have sold the oil and given the money to the poor (in actual fact, he embezzled the money that he received). Jesus replies, ‘the poor you have with you always’. The Jews plot to kill both Jesus and Lazarus. Jesus enters Jerusalem on a colt, lauded by crowds with palm leaves. Jesus says that the hour has come that the Son of Man should be glorified. A grain of wheat that is buried produces life. A troubled Jesus prays: ‘Father bring glory to your name.’ A voice from the heavens answers: ‘I have brought glory to my name and will do so again.’ Jesus says the voice is not for his benefit, but for onlookers. Jesus says he will lifted up from the earth, and draw all people to him. ‘Put your trust in the light, while there is still time; then you will become children of the light.’ People do not believe, despite signs – a fulfilment of Isaiah. ‘He who believes in me, believes not in me but in Him who sent me.’
MEMORIZATION
JOHN 11:25
25 Jesus told her, “I am the resurrection and the life.[a] Anyone who believes in me will live, even after dying.

OVERVIEW
Jesus washes his disciples’ feet. Peter objects to Jesus washing his feet. Jesus says that if he doesn’t wash his feet, he will have no part with him. Peter then asks Jesus to wash his feet, hands and head. Jesus says that not all of the disciples are clean, for he knows who will betray him. Jesus says that as he has washed his disciples’ feet, so they should wash each others’. ‘Anyone who welcomes my messenger is welcoming me.’ Jesus gives bread to Judas to indicate that he is the one who will betray. Satan enters Judas. ‘The Son of Man is glorified, and God is glorified in him.’ Jesus commands his disciples to love one another. Jesus tells Simon Peter he is going somewhere where he cannot be followed.
‘In my Father’s house are many rooms.’ ‘I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.’ To know Jesus is to know the Father. He who has seen Jesus has seen the Father. Jesus is in the Father, and vice versa. The Father will send an advocate – the Holy Spirit. If people love Jesus, then both he and the Father and the Son will make their home with them. The Holy Spirit will be sent in Jesus’ name. Jesus is going to the Father – a cause for celebration.

OVERVIEW
‘I am the true vine, and My Father is the vinedresser. Every branch in me that does not bear fruit He takes away.’ The branch cannot bear fruit in itself, but only as it abides in the vine. Jesus calls his disciples to a life of love and obedience. ‘Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one’s life for his friends.’ The disciples can expect persecution from an antagonistic world. The Holy Spirit, sent by the Son from the Father, will witness testify of the Son.
The disciples will face certain persecution. When Jesus departs, the Helper will come. The Helper will help the world to understand sin, righteousness and judgment. Jesus assures the disciples that their sorrow will be turned into joy. Whatever is asked of the father in Jesus’ name will be given. Jesus has come from the Father, and now returns to the Father.

OVERVIEW
Jesus prays: ‘Father, the hour has come. Glorify Your Son, that Your Son also may glorify You’. To know God is to have eternal life. Jesus has given to the world what the Father has given to him. ‘Holy Father, keep through Your name those whom You have given Me.’ Like Jesus himself, his followers are not of this world. Jesus prays that his followers may be kept in joy and sanctified, and be unified in belief. The glory the Father has given the Son, the Son may then give to those who believe in Him.
An army arrests Jesus. Jesus rebukes Simon Peter for cutting off the ear of Malchus, the high priest’s servant. Peter denied Jesus three times. Jesus is sent to Caiaphas the high priest, then to Pilate. Jesus explains to Pilate that his kingdom is not of this world. Jesus says that everyone who is of the truth hears his voice. Pilate replies ‘What is truth?’, giving voice to a skeptical humanism. Pilate can find no fault with Jesus, and attempts to get the crowd to release him, but the crowd want the release of Barabbas instead.

JOHN 18:36
36 Jesus answered, “My Kingdom is not an earthly kingdom. If it were, my followers would fight to keep me from being handed over to the Jewish leaders. But my Kingdom is not of this world.”

OVERVIEW
To appease the mob, Pilate has Jesus flogged, put in a purple robe, and made to wear a crown of thorns. Pilate says ‘Behold the man!’, but the crowd still demand Jesus’ crucifixion. Jesus is crucified. Pilate places a sign that says ‘The King of the Jews’ on the cross. The soldiers cast lots for Jesus’ seamless garment. He says, ‘Woman, behold your son!’ to Mary. Jesus receives the sour wine, says ‘It is finished’, and dies. Soldiers pierce the dead Jesus’ side, and water and blood issues forth. Jesus is buried by Joseph of Arimathea and Nicodemus.
Mary Magdalene comes upon Jesus’ tomb, finds it empty and tells the disciples about it. Peter and John investigate the empty tomb. Mary, stricken with grief, sees two angels dressed in white in the empty tomb. Mary meets Jesus, but mistakes him for a gardener. Jesus tells Mary not to touch him. Jesus appears to the disciples. Jesus breathes on his disciples and tells them to receive the Holy Spirit. Jesus convinces the previously absent disciple, Thomas, by inviting him to push his finger into his wound.

WEEK 10 86 Week 11 / John 21
OVERVIEW
Peter and six other disciples return to fishing. Jesus appears to them, where they catch a miraculous amount of fish. Jesus has breakfast with them. Jesus asks Peter to feed his lambs, and Simon to tend his sheep. Jesus hints at the manner of Peter’s death, saying his hands will be stretched out and he will be led where he does not want to go. Jesus does not say what the fate of John is. John is the person who wrote this gospel – if John had written everything that Jesus had done, the whole world could not contain the books that they would need to be written in.
MEMORIZATION
JOHN 21:25
25 Jesus also did many other things. If they were all written down, I suppose the whole world could not contain the books that would be written.
