1. The Gospel by St. John shows the Lord Jesus Christ as a divine Person, the Son of God, and come into the world. Why did the Son of God thus become Son of Man? —2. Chapter 1, as far as verse 18, may be called the introduction to the Gospel. What are the two subjects of these verses? —3. Upon what occasions did the Baptist bear witness of Christ? (See chapter 1:19-40)— 4. It is believed that while Andrew was one of the two disciples of John who "followed Jesus," "came and saw where He dwelt, and abode with Him," John the apostle was the other. To what other people did Christ first manifest Himself? (See chapter 1:41-51.)—5. Mention, with references, and in the order of their occurrence, some events in the life of, Jesus which are told by St. Luke before the time when the history given by St. John begins.—6. From the Gospels we know that St. John was the son of Zebedee and Salome. (Compare Matt. 27:5656Among which was Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James and Joses, and the mother of Zebedee's children. (Matthew 27:56) and Mark 15:4040There were also women looking on afar off: among whom was Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James the less and of Joses, and Salome; (Mark 15:40).) What do we learn (a) of his father; (1) of his mother? Do we know anything of another member of the household? Tell all you can of him.—7. As Galilee is the scene of the narrative of the earlier gospels, what is especially that of the fourth? —8. St. John calls himself "the disciple whom Jesus loved." Can you remember any words which show that St. Paul knew that he was loved by the Son of God?
NOTE.—Ask yourself this question, and answer it to yourself: Does Jesus love me?
