John
John has 21 chapters. Read John in the Literal Standard Version, chapter by chapter, free and without an account.
John presents Jesus as the Word made flesh who reveals the Father. Signs and extended conversations explore his identity and the life he offers. As conflict grows, Jesus prepares his disciples with teaching about love, the Spirit, and abiding in him. His death and resurrection lead to renewed witness and the stated invitation to believe and have life in his name.
