John 13It seems very clear here that Judas was still with Christ when He washed the feet of His apostles. The reason that Christ told Peter that he would deny his Lord three times was that in the comfort of the feast room in the Presence of the Savior Peter felt that he would willingly…

John 12I wonder what became of Lazarus. I assume he was faithful throughout his life but I have to wonder if he became a very early martyr considering that the Pharisees wanted to kill him even before they succeeded in killing Christ because his very breath led people to Christ. John admits that they did…

John 11I didn’t realize that ten chapters covered three years. The rest of John covers the last month or so of Jesus’ life. Martha demonstrates a solid understanding of the doctrines of the plan of happiness and she shows that her faith is in Christ. I imagine that it was harder for the people who’s…

John 10Sometime I should go through and count the times that we have record of Christ escaping the people who desired to kill him. This is at least the third time in ten chapters of John.

John 9The whole dea of agreeing on an answer and a story in advance of giving testimony is contrary to the spirit of truth.

John 7It is interesting to see how the people wen through periods where many believed and then many turned away from Christ and how they had so many occasions where the people were divided. It sounds like what Nephi went through after he was tried for the murder of the chief judge. It also sounds…

John 6When Christ multiplied the loaves for the five thousand there was more left over than there had been to begin with. That (enough and to spare, even to overflowing and even from scarcity) is characteristic of our Savior. How will He do likewise for me when there seems to be nothing to begin with?…

John 5“When Jesus saw him lie, and knew that he had been now a long time …” Christ either watched for a time before healing that man or was otherwise informed of his situation. This was not about the Saviorinnately knowing the details of the man’s situation (although such is the case in some other…

John 4When she perceived that Christ was a prophet the Samaritan woman said that while her ancestors worshiped on the mountains in Samaria the Jews claimed that the place to worship was in Jerusalem. I had not realized that she was asking this prophet to address the discrepancy. Of course I recognized that Christ answered…
