John (jan 1, 29 – jan 1, 33)

Description:

Writer(s): Apostle John
Place Written: Ephesus, or near
Writing Completed: c. 98 C.E.
Time Covered: After prologue, 29-33 C.E.

An account of Jesus Christ's earthly life and ministry, the last of the four to be written.

When and Where Written
It is generally thought that John had been released from exile on the island of Patmos and was in or near Ephesus, about 100 km (60 mi) from Patmos, at the time he wrote his Gospel, about 98 C.E. Roman Emperor Nerva (96-98 C.E.) recalled many who had been exiled at the close of the reign of his predecessor Domitian. John may have been among these. In the Revelation that John received on Patmos, Ephesus was one of the congregations to which he was commanded to write.

John had reached a very old age, being probably about 90 or 100 when he wrote his Gospel. He was undoubtedly familiar with the other three accounts of Jesus' earthly life and ministry, also the Acts of Apostles and the letters written by Paul, Peter, James, and Jude. He had had opportunity to see Christian doctrine fully revealed and had seen the effects of its preaching to all nations. He also had seen the beginning of "the man of lawlessness." (2Th 2:3) He had witnessed many of Jesus' prophecies already fulfilled, notably the destruction of Jerusalem and the end of that Jewish system of things.
