Comparing Simon And John
Andrew and his brother Simon were awaiting the Messiah of Israel and they were suddenly going out of patience. Andrew and Simon were both fishermen along with John and James. John the Baptist preached in the wilderness of Jordan in those days. John wore a huge belt and his clothes were made of camel's hair. He preached the baptism of water and he told the people,“I am not the Christ, but I am preparing the way for Him.”
When many of John's listeners heard him they believed and were baptized. Simon, Andrew, and John believed and were baptized too.
The next day John saw Jesus coming and he said to the crowd,“Look! Behold the Lamb of God which takes away the sins of the world!”
Jesus came to John and was baptized and immediately the Spirit

We lived at the junction of great trout rivers in western Montana, and our father was a Presbyterian minister and a fly fisherman who tied his own flies and taught others.

    below the surface of the text resonate with signals from below the surface of the text, allowing the gospel to say more than it otherwise might seem to be saying. Since the gospel’s humor constitutes a form of commentary that is by saying definition implicit, our task is to make some of the humorous explicit, and to consider how the humorous elements function and how they relate to the gospel’s message.” It is not very important about John’s gospel date because “one of the points urged by those who favor a late date is the contention that the manner of referring to the Jews points to a time when they had become enemies of the church.” Perhaps, “throughout this study I argue that John’s gospel with its rhetoric of distance is a text of imperial…

    “Not only is John 's gospel written for evangelism, it seems to be written particularly for Jewish evangelism. From the beginning, the book of John is geared to Jewish thinking. John 1:1 sounds very much like the beginning of Genesis, the first book of the Hebrew Scriptures Taken with the Genesis account that Elohim (God) created the heavens and the earth, the gospel of John reinforces the idea of Messiah as the Creator Himself. Genesis 1:26 records Elohim as saying, "Let Us make man in Our image.…" The Hebrew Elohim is a plural noun. It embodies a sense of composite unity which, seen in the context of the gospel accounts, relates to God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit working…

Most think that he never did, because our sacrament of baptism commemorates the death and resurrection of…
