The Gospel of John

The gospel of John tries to show us a diferent imasge from the rest of the gospels. It tries to show us something like christ and it's origins more than its life or any other thing. It includes the basics of Jesus’ ministry—his preaching, miracles, trial, crucifixion, and resurrection. It is likely that John heard the details about these events from a very early oral source common to all the Gospels, but the freedom he uses to interpret these events helps us see clearly that all accounts of Jesus have come to us through the filter of interpretation. The gospel of John is divided into two. It is divided into the book of signs and into the book of glory. The first part explains miracles Jesus made and it significances while the seccond part explains Jesus’ glorification through crucifixion and resurrection.

“Sir, give me this water so that I may never be thirsty” (4:14-15). This part extracted from the gospel of John is a very simbolic part of his writting. it tries to tell that the samaritan woman is trying just to tell Jesus to guide her. To let her never be lost again. She knows she is a person who can guide her through her life and this is why she asks him to give her spiritual guidance so she never falls in darkness once again. It has a very similar meaning to that of of the girl who was dead which I mentioned in one of my recent blogs. She was dead and he revived her or gave her the meaning of life, and in the other case the woman was thirsty which actually meant didnt know where to go and Jesus made the path for her. For some the bible might be literal but for others it may be very simbolic and that is free to interpret.
