This portion of Al-Kitab takes its name from its author, the apostle John. It is sometimes referred to as “the Gospel according to John.” John was one of the early companions from whom ‘ISA AL-MASIH chose 12 to become his apostles or messengers. This scripture was written so that people might come to believe in ‘ISA AL-MASIH as the Saviour whom the Lord God sent into the world. John records 7 major miracles of ‘ISA AL-MASIH, and they are used as points from which ‘ISA teaches his followers new truths from God. The miracles were performed with one main purpose in view–to prove that ‘ISA AL-MASIH is genuinely from God and that we must listen to and obey what he says.
