2 With what words does the Gospel according to John start?
Answer: In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God and the word was God.

3 According to John 8:1, where had Jesus spent the evening before he was asked to rule on the woman caught in adultery?
Answer: Mount of Olives

The correct answer is the Mount of Olives, a favorite retreat of Jesus. Luke 19:29 states the hill was near Bethany and Bethpage and Acts 1:12 states it was a "Sabbath day's walk" from Jerusalem. Luke 21:37 states Jesus would spend each day teaching at the temple and each evening he would spend on "the hill called the Mount of Olives."

Answer: Bethany

Bethany was less than two miles from Jerusalem. According to Luke 24:50-51, it was in the vicinity of Bethany that Jesus ascended into Heaven after his crucifixion. It was in the same community that Jesus was anointed with expensive perfume, as per John 12:1-11.

5 What do Matthew, Mark, and Luke have to say about the resurrection of Lazarus?
Answer: Nothing

It is surprising that only one of the Gospels mentions this very important miracle.

Fortunately, John gave us many details in chapter 11.

6 The story begins in John chapter 4, with Jesus leaving one place to go to another. From where was he leaving?
Answer: Judea

He left Judea because of the Pharisees. They were concerned that He was baptizing more people and gaining more disciples than John the Baptist already had, even though it was actually His disciples baptizing these people. (John 4:1-2)

7 John has arguably the grandest opening of all the gospels. How does he describe Jesus in the gospel's first few words?
Answer: The Word of God

"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning." (John 1 v. 1-2)

"The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the One and Only, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth." (John 1 v. 14)

The Greek word "logos", here translated as word, is meant to convey something of the creative impulse bursting forth and being made real, just as words articulate the thoughts that come from within.

Right from the beginning, John roots his gospel in two statements about Jesus:
1. This was no mere holy man. His self-identification with God, vindicated by the things the disciples had witnessed, could only mean that he was God himself;
2. Jesus was properly human and not just a spirit.

Scholars have speculated about John's audience. At what is believed to be the original ending to the gospel, he states that he is writing that "you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name" (John 20 v. 31). Whilst John may have meant the gospel to be used for evangelistic purposes, it is considered more likely that his intention was to bolster the faith of an existing church community, possibly one that had recently been expelled from their local synagogue.

8 What is the first word in John in the King James Version?
Answer: In

It says in John 1:1, "In the beginning was the Word. And the Word was with God, and the Word was God."

John's book is different than the other three Gospels because he does not go into the lineage of Jesus, but rather tells everyone that God and Jesus are the same person, and Jesus has always existed.

9 When and where did Jesus stop to rest after His long walk through Samaria?
Answer: at noon in Sychar

John says it was about the sixth hour. (John 4:6) Since the Jews started their day at 6:00 am (dawn), the sixth hour would be noon. A few experts think maybe John used Roman time, which would mean Jesus arrived at 6:00 pm. However, the place He took a break was definitely Sychar.

10 According to John 2:1-11, what town was Jesus in when he turned water into wine at a wedding?
Answer: Cana

In Jesus's first miracle, He turned six stone water jars filled with water into about 120 to 180 gallons of wine.
