Gospel of John
Beloved disciple's account
The Gospel of John is the fourth book of the New Testament, traditionally attributed to John the Apostle.
Distinguished from the synoptic gospels (Matthew, Mark, and Luke) by its more theological and philosophical approach, it opens with the famous declaration "In the beginning was the Word" and emphasizes Jesus's divine nature.
John's gospel contains unique material including the raising of Lazarus and extensive farewell discourses, and is the source of widely quoted verses like "For God so loved the world."
