John 1—12

John is unique among the Gospels. Unlike the Synoptic Accounts, John omits some major events such as Jesus’ virgin birth, temptations, and transfiguration and focuses on His private encounters rather than His public sermons. David L. Lipe offers a readable yet in-depth look at vivid narratives which reveal that the text was written by an eyewitness.

He highlights Jesus’ seven “I am” statements and seven “signs” recorded in John. This commentary offers a personal look at the One who became flesh so He could die that we might live.
