Outlines of the Gospel of John

Plan #1: Outline of Gospel of John– Based on to whom Christ revealed Himself

When we try to get an overall perspective of the Gospel of John, we find that it divides fairly even down in the middle. The first half (chapters 1-12) is focused on presenting Christ before the world where the second (chapters 13-21) is presenting Christ before His intimate followers.

Plan #2: Outline of Gospel of John– Based on the way Christ revealed Himself to others

The division of the Gospel of John is seen not only in whom Jesus reveals Himself with but in the way He reveals Himself.

The seven signs or miracles that John selected are contained within the first half (1). In this first twelve chapters people get to see Jesus in His glory and hear His proclamation of the Gospel. Jesus did things to or for people.

The last chapters (13-21) were for His disciples. Jesus, however, now was the center part of the work rather than His works. The work would be done upon Him. It included intimate sharing, fellowship, His passion, His dying and His resurrection.
