John
The Gospel of John is very different from the Synoptic Gospels which you have just finished. The first thing you will notice is that there are fewer stories, but John goes into much more detail than Matthew, Mark, and Luke. It is estimated that the Gospel of John was written around 90 A.D. There are four major sections as follows: Prologue (Jn 1:1-18), The Book of Signs (Jn 1:19-12:50), The Book of Glory (Jn l3:1-20:31), Epilogue: The Resurrection Appearance in Galilee (Jn 21:1-25).
