How Does John Portray Jesus?

John portrays Jesus as “a God striding over the face of the earth.” He does this by highlighting his divine qualities which can be seen in many of the gospels stories. John portrays Jesus' relationship with Judas much differently than in the gospel of Mark

gospel of Mark
Jesus, in the Gospel of Mark is portrayed as more than a man. Mark, throughout the Gospel of Mark tells us that Jesus was of flesh and skin but also tells us what attributes he had that set him apart from the other humans.

How is Jesus presented in John's Gospel?

Throughout John's Gospel, Jesus openly presents himself as the divine Son of God, not hiding his identity as he does in The Gospel According to Mark. Thus, the author of John's Gospel does not merely narrate a series of events but singles out details that support an ordered theological interpretation of those events.

What John tells about Jesus?

John says nothing of a supernatural birth. He regards Jesus as a human being who possessed actual flesh and blood, the same as other people. The most significant thing about Jesus is that the divine Logos was present in him, and all of the marvelous things that he accomplished were by virtue of the power of God.
