When John died, people were scared about what would happen to
John has confessed to the court of the affair he had had with Abigail. He did this to show Abigail had a motive to kill Elizabeth since Abigail was still in love with John. The court wanted evidence of the affair so they brought Elizabeth in to confirm. John said she would never tell a lie. Since Elizabeth was weak and in love she lied to save his name.
(137) This shows that it is his fault for his sin and it is only his right to take them wherever he goes, even as it may be below the ground. These chains around his soul dragged him to the breaking point, where he would do anything to rid himself of them. Elizabeth tried anything to take this weight of of John, to the point where she was saying it was her fault for
This shows that John is a merciful being and desires forgiveness from his wife and God, therefore demonstrating traits of a good man. Furthermore, John has a heated argument with his wife, due to his encounter with Abigail, alone. Although, he thinks his wife will doubt him, she states on the contrary, “I do not judge you. The magistrate sits in your heart that judges you. I never thought you but a good man, John - only somewhat bewildered” (55).
John Proctor from Arthur Miller’s The Crucible is a tragic hero among tragic heroes. John is a noble man; however, he does have his flaws. His imperfections are visible to the audience throughout the play. Many people may see themselves in Proctor, for aside from all his grandeur, he is still a sinner in the eyes of an angry God. John Proctor’s role in The Crucible rouses three emotions: fear, shock, and empathy; the same three emotions found in a tragic hero.
There is very little on the early life of the Apostle John. It is known that John was one of two sons of Zebedee and Salome. While John, James and his father were repairing their fishing nets Jesus came to them saying, “Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.” (Matthew 4:19 pg.538) Both sons followed him and told testimonies of Jesus gathering many sheep for their shepherd.
While writing his eyes are filled with tears and his heart swell with adoration. After writing about crucifixion, he plans to add more after gathering information from Mary and Jesus’ disciples. He visits many places and gets firsthand information about Jesus. The physician meets James and John ‘Sons of thunderstorm’ (465),informs them that he is a Christian and about the gospel he is writing. John starts explaining about Christ’s miracles and His teachings, John the Baptist and the great revelations.
The Jews were seeking the promised Messiah, who was spoken of by the Prophets. John was a disciple of John the Baptist, who was the last of the Apostles. In the book of John, Jesus is revealed as the Word of God, because John 1:1 states that" In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God." In the Gospel of John there were miracles performed by Jesus to show his Deity.
He believed in doing the right thing and he was willing to fight for it. During the witch-hunts that affected us all, John tried with every ounce of strength he had to stop the court from going along with Abigail’s manipulations and lies, and in the process confessed to the court the truth of his lechery to make it known that Abigail was just pretending. He knew that his reputation would be ruined, but he knew that it had to be done to save the innocent people accused of trafficking with the devil. I don’t know how many other people would do the same and be able to risk their own reputations knowing that they would no longer be looked at as a respectable person. Some people doubt whether or not John is in heaven.
Christianity, like Judaism, is monotheistic, yet in the Gospels, Jesus reveals that God is one and God has three co-eternal persons or natures. The Trinity is not explicitly called out in the New Testament but is certainly taught by Jesus in the Gospels. This is especially true of the Gospel of John, which brings the reader to the understanding that Jesus is not just the Messiah – he is God Incarnate. John attests to the eternal Divinity of Jesus Christ in the opening verses of his book: In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
This showed that he was trying to keep his name clean by telling the truth. When John was in prison, they give him another chance to be freed of charges. They tried to persuade him
The Gospel of John contains some of the most profound truth which is expressed in the simplest way. It is full of imagery and symbolism which though concise and limited bears deep spiritual meaning. In his book, The Interpretation of the fourth Gospel, C. H. Dodd must have been the first to identify the leading ideas and thus separate in form and function the allegories of the Gospel of John from the synoptic parables and connect them with the Old Testament and the Hellenistic-Jewish symbolic tradition. That is to say the author of this Gospel mostly uses common things present in the life and tradition of his listeners and uses them to make the divine understandable. Koester in his book on Symbolism in the Fourth Gospel says that:
In the Gospel of Mark, Jesus is presented as the “Christ, the Messiah” (Mk 1:1 NAB). These are the first words of Mark. However, what does this mean? Through the Gospel, Mark wants to answer this question with several facts. The Gospel is divided in two main sections: first, chapter 1 to 8 shows the human part of Jesus and performing several miracles.
While the other gospels emphasize the Kingdom of God and the Kingdom of Heaven, John instead emphasizes new life found in Jesus. It’s from John that we get Christ’s famous claim “I am the way the truth and the life. No one comes to the father except through me” -John 14:6. Jesus frequently uses metaphors to hint at his identity. John records more of these analogies than any other gospel, giving us some of the most famous word pictures for Christ.
Also by classifying these gospels, people will be able to envision better the timeline of Jesus’ life and which are actual true facts about
