- John in Greek (ancientlibrary.net)
‘In the beginning was the Word’ — so opens John, the fourth gospel of the Greek New Testament, traditionally attributed to the apostle John and written in Koine Greek in the first century AD. Distinct in shape from the other gospels, it narrates a sequence of signs, from water made wine at Cana to the raising of Lazarus, interwoven with long discourses and the ‘I am’ sayings of Jesus.

The first section of the gospel presents a schematic account of the ministry of Jesus, with seven signs that culminate in the raising of Lazarus and validate the truth of his words. The second part of the text portrays the final week of Jesus’s life, recounting the Farewell Discourse and the passion and resurrection narratives.
