    Day 3: John 5:31-47


    Stories: Jesus’ Testimony
    Curiosities:
    1) Why are Jesus and the Jewish leaders so concerned about Jesus’ testimony (teaching)?
    2) Why doesn’t Jesus accept glory from human beings? Isn’t that what we have been taught God desires?
    3) How does Moses condemn the Jewish Leaders?
    Paradoxes: Jesus says that if He testifies about Himself, it is not true, yet elsewhere He says that even if He did testify about Himself it would still be true (John 8:14). Why say it both ways?

    Day 2: John 5:16-30 Stories: The Work of the Father Curiosities: 1) Why did they want to kill Jesus for claiming to be equal with God? 2) Why doesn’t Jesus do what He wants? Why does He only do what He sees the Father doing? Isn’t He God too? 3) Jesus quotes Daniel 12:2 about […]

    Day 2: John 5:16-30


    Stories: The Work of the Father
    Curiosities:
    1) Why did they want to kill Jesus for claiming to be equal with God?
    2) Why doesn’t Jesus do what He wants? Why does He only do what He sees the Father doing? Isn’t He God too?
    3) Jesus quotes Daniel 12:2 about some being resurrected to eternal life and some to shame
    Paradoxes: “the Father judges no one, but entrusts all judgment to the Son.” Why does Jesus say He is the one who judges? Later He will say that He doesn’t judge, but the Father does, and then again later He will say that He is the one who judges? Why is Jesus so paradoxical about judgment in John?

    Day 1: John 5:1-15 Stories: Healing of the lame man Curiosities: 1) Why does John give us such detail about the gate and the area surrounding the pool? 2) Why would Jesus ask the man if he wants to get well? 3) Why did Jesus tell the man to pick up his mat on a Sabbath? […]

    Stories: Healing of the lame man
    Curiosities:
    1) Why does John give us such detail about the gate and the area surrounding the pool?
    2) Why would Jesus ask the man if he wants to get well?
    3) Why did Jesus tell the man to pick up his mat on a Sabbath? Why not leave it there? This is the thing that offended the Pharisees about the healing.
    Paradoxes: Why would Jesus ask the man He healed to pick up his mat when it was forbidden by Jewish law? Wouldn’t that be disrespectful to the governing authorities? (Even though the law was not biblical, but a derivative)

    Day 5: John 4:43-54 Stories: Royal Official’s Son Curiosities: Why does John mention the phrase about a prophet not being accepted in his own country? In the synoptic gospels, that statement fits when the Jewish people reject Jesus’ teaching, but it seems out of place here. Why does Jesus respond to a father’s genuine plea for […]

    Day 5: John 4:43-54


    Stories: Royal Official’s Son
    Curiosities: Why does John mention the phrase about a prophet not being accepted in his own country? In the synoptic gospels, that statement fits when the Jewish people reject Jesus’ teaching, but it seems out of place here.
    Why does Jesus respond to a father’s genuine plea for his son’s life by insinuating that everyone around only wanted to see signs? Doesn’t this seem rude and off-putting? What was Jesus’ point?
    The man took Jesus “at His word” and departed. Many times we like to assign faith to a belief in something, but John will make the point repetitively in his Gospel that faith requires action. We turn our belief into faith when we take action. Here the man “departed.” This is no small notion in the book of John.
    Paradoxes: none

    Day 4: John 4:27-42


    Stories: Samaritan Salvation
    Curiosities: Cultural background on Rabbis speaking with women
    Why, after being so clear with the woman, does Jesus go back to being obscure with His disciples about His “food?”
    John alludes to the fact that Jesus sent out His disciples to heal and testify as stated in the other Gospels, yet he doesn’t mention it himself. Jesus gives them an illustration about harvesting.
    The Samaritan village follows Jesus because of the woman’s testimony and then they hear it for themselves. It is interesting to note that John specifically points out that their faith happened first from her word and then was backed up by meeting Jesus. This reinforces Jesus’ point to His disciples about reaping being easy after the hard work of others.
    Paradoxes: none
