Jesus’ crucifixion and resurrection are the climax of John. The first
ten chapters cover roughly three and a half years; chapters 11–20,
in contrast, cover about one to two weeks.
The four Gospels present the death of Jesus in different ways.
Though their accounts are compatible, each author emphasizes key
points that especially resonate with the themes of his Gospel. Matthew
emphasizes the fulfillment of Scripture; Mark emphasizes the parallel
between the baptism of Jesus and the Cross; and Luke focuses on the
Cross as healing and salvation (the story of the thief on the cross).
But John presents the Cross as the enthronement of Jesus, particularly tied to the idea of the hour, which is referred to numerous times
throughout the book (John 7:30, John 8:20, John 12:27). This idea of
enthronement is an ironic picture since crucifixion was the most ignominious and shameful way to die that the Romans used. This contrast
points to the deeply ironic depiction that John presents: Jesus is dying
in shame, but it is, at the same time, His glorious enthronement as the
Savior.👉🏻Bible study lesson -
