Messiah in the Gospel of John
The word Χριστός (Christos), translated as both Messiah and Christ, occurs 19 times in the Gospel of John. ^[1]^. The word is first used in the prologue (1:17). Messiah was an OT expectation held by most observant Jews, so there is particular significance that the first time that Jesus is called the Messiah is where John contrasts Jesus and the law of Moses.
