1. Eternal Life: In the Fourth Gospel Eternal Life takes the same place as the kingdom of God in the other three.

1. Denial of Christ's Moral Perfection: Where the Gospels present us in Jesus with the image of a flawless character--in the words of the writer to the Hebrews, "holy, guileless, undefiled, separated from sinners" (Heb 7:26)--modern criticism is driven by an inexorable necessity to deprive Jesus of ...

1. Temptation Follows Baptism: (Mt 4:1-11; Mr 1:13-14; Lu 4:1-13) On the narrative of the baptism in the first three Gospels there follows at once the account of the temptation of Jesus in the wilderness.

1. Withdrawal to Galilee: Toward the close of this Judean ministry the Baptist appears to have been cast into prison for his faithfulness in reproving Herod Antipas for taking his brother Philip's wife (compare Joh 3:24; Mt 14:3-5 parallel). It seems most natural to connect the departure to Galilee ...

1. Healing of Nobleman's Son: (Joh 4:43-54) From sympathetic Samaria (Joh 4:39), Jesus had journeyed to unsympathetic Galilee, and first to Cana, where His first miracle had been wrought.

1. The Chronology: The arrival in Bethany is placed by John "six days before the Passover" (12:1).

The Crucifixion: (Mt 27:31-56; Mr 15:20-41; Lu 23:26-49; Joh 19:16-37) Crucifixion was the form of punishment reserved by the Romans for slaves, foreigners and the vilest criminals, and could not be inflicted on a Roman citizen.

Then Jesus said to the crowds and to his disciples: “The teachers of the law and the Pharisees sit in Moses’ seat. So you must obey them and do everything they tell you.
