Episode notes

John only includes seven miracles in his book. They go from changing water into wine, healing the nobleman's son to feeding the five thousand. He selects those miracles because there are deeper meanings reflected in the signs. We're going to see that powerful dialectic all the way through these chapters as well.

How do we receive hard sayings? Dr. Jenet Erickson explores the doctrine that Jesus teaches at the Feast of Tabernacles and shows mercy to the woman taken in adultery.
