About John's Gospel

John's Gospel is one of the four Gospels. Those are the books that tell us about Jesus' life on earth. ‘Gospel’ means ‘good news’. John was one of the three apostles who knew Jesus best. John called himself ‘the disciple that Jesus loved’. We think that John wrote his Gospel some years after Matthew, Mark and Luke wrote their Gospels.
John's Gospel tells us about who Jesus was, as the Son of God. Jesus is the only person who can give us true life with God. John teaches us more about God's Holy Spirit too.
At the beginning of his Gospel, John calls Jesus ‘the Word’. Jesus is the one that God sent into the world so that we could see and understand his message of grace and truth.
