Answer: if everything Jesus did was written down, there wouldn't be room for all the books
Although all four of these statements can be considered true, the book of John ends with the line "And there are also many other things that Jesus did, which if they were written in detail, I suppose that the world itself would not contain the books that would be written" John 21:25. This tells us that Jesus did innumerable things and that only a fraction were recorded. Those things, however will be remembered forever.
From Quiz: BBB Bible Series: John
Answer: There is no mention of him.
What's truly missing in this story are details about the man who was involved in adultery with the woman. Verse 3 states she was "caught in adultery" so her accusers obviously knew the identity of the second adulterer. For whatever reason, he was not hauled before Jesus to be humiliated with the poor woman.

Answer: "Take off the grave clothes and let him go."
Jesus said to them, "Take off the grave clothes and let him go." It must have been an incredible sight when Lazarus was raised from the dead. Only a few moments before, the people were mourning the death of Lazarus. Now there is unbelievable jubilation. According to John 11:45-57, the raising of Lazarus from the dead triggered events that led to the crucifixion of Jesus. The chief priests and the Pharisees called a meeting of the Sanhedrin, and the rest, as they say, is history.

Answer: Because of Lazarus' resurrection, many people were believing in Jesus.
Fortunately, the Bible does not speak again of this plot against Lazarus. Several church traditions tell of him becoming an early Christian missionary and bishop.
It is a clear contrast that while the love of Jesus gave Lazarus new life, the hatred of the chief priests desired to give Lazarus death.

Answer: Many of the Samaritans
Many of the Samaritans believed in Jesus because of the woman's testimony, but after spending two days with Him themselves, they told her that they believed in Him for themselves, not just from her testimony.

Answer: Jesus washes the disciples' feet
"It was just before the Passover Feast. Jesus knew that the time had come for him to leave this world and go to the Father. Having loved his own who were in the world, he now showed them the full extent of his love." (John 13 v. 1)
The duty of washing feet was that of a slave. According to John, Jesus used the opportunity to teach his disciples that they should love one another with the same level of humility and that this love would characterise the future community of Christians (John 13 v. 34-35).
There are some problems in trying to match up John's account with those of the other gospel writers. They describe the Passover meal whilst he locates his meal just before the Passover. Both, however, agree that Jesus was arrested shortly afterwards and it, therefore, seems extraordinarily unlikely that they are talking about different meals.

Answer: 3
It says in John 21:14, "This is now the third time that Jesus shewed himself to his disciples, after that he was risen from the dead."
Three is a very common number in the Bible, and we especially see it in the Gospels.
Peter denied Christ three times, Jesus asked Peter three times "Do you love Me?", Jesus was in the grave three days before he rose, and He appeared three times before ascending to Heaven. These are just a few times we see the number 3.
From Quiz: The Gospel of John
Answer: God
The Life Center Church takes this verse to support the belief that, "upon sincere repentance and a whole-hearted acceptance of Christ, we are justified before God through Jesus' sacrificial death" (Romans 10:6-10; 1 John 1:9) and that "salvation is wholly through grace; that no human righteousness or merit can contribute to our receiving God's love and favor" (Ephesians 2:8).

Answer: The Holy Spirit
"And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Counselor to be with you forever- the Spirit of truth." (John 14 v. 16-17)
Jesus promises that, when he leaves them, they will be sent the Holy Spirit, so that the work he has begun may be continued. The gospel even gives an alternative account of the giving of the Holy Spirit to that found in Acts. John records this as happening during one of Jesus' post-resurrection appearances:
"Again Jesus said, 'Peace be with you! As the Father has sent me, I am sending you.' And with that he breathed on them and said, 'Receive the Holy Spirit'" (John 20 v. 21-22).
Scholars believe that chapter 20 was, originally, the final chapter, in which case this act would have served as the climax to the gospel.

Answer: He was in the company of someone who knew the high priest.
"Simon Peter and another disciple were following Jesus. Because this disciple was known to the high priest, he went with Jesus into the high priest's courtyard, but Peter had to wait outside at the door. The other disciple, who was known to the high priest, came back, spoke to the girl on duty there and brought Peter in." (John 18 v. 15-16)
It is impossible to identify Peter's companion but the assumption is that it must have been somebody fairly high up in the Jewish hierarchy. Both Nicodemus and Joseph of Arimathea have been suggested but largely because they are named elsewhere in the gospel.

Answer: It is finished.
"Later, knowing that all was now completed, and so that the Scripture would be fulfilled, Jesus said, 'I am thirsty.' A jar of wine vinegar was there, so they soaked a sponge in it, put the sponge on a stalk of the hyssop plant, and lifted it to Jesus' lips. When he had received the drink, Jesus said, 'It is finished.' With that, he bowed his head and gave up his spirit." (John 19 v. 28-29)
Again, John gives the impression of an all-knowing Jesus "signing off" on the mission that he came to earth to complete. It is a long way from the sense of pain and abandonment found in Mark's account.
From Quiz: Quizzing the New Testament: John
Answer: He cooks breakfast for the disciples.
The disciples had been fishing all night without success. Not only do they find the risen Jesus waiting for them on the shore with a cooked breakfast, but he also directs them to where they can find a bumper catch of fish (John 21 v. 1-9). In the previous chapter, the physical nature of the body had been highlighted when Thomas was invited to feel the holes in Jesus' hands and side (John 20 v. 26-27).
There are many similarities in style between John's gospel and the three letters that bear his name, and commentators have suggested that they originate from the same church community. One heresy addressed in the epistles is that of Docetism - the belief that Jesus only existed in spirit form - and it is probable that the physical details are emphasised here as part of that controversy.
