Narrative Movement in the Gospel of John
[Comments in brackets have to do with relationship to Synoptic tradition]
John the Baptizer operating in Bethany beyond the Jordan (1:28).
Jesus goes to Galilee (1: 43)Jesus apparently comes there from Nazareth (v. 29, 45), where John acknowledged him. v. 35 – Andrew, Peter’s brother, is one of John’s disciples. He follows Jesus. There is a possible allusion to Jesus’ baptism in v. 32.
[Mk 1:16f has Jesus pass by Sea of Galilee and call the four fishermen. In John they have already encountered Jesus, and were connected to John the Baptist’s work previously]Calls Philip, who along with Andrew and Peter were from Bethsaida (north Sea of Galilee), v. 43. Also calls Nathanael, who was from Cana (21:2).
To wedding at Cana (2:1f)
Withdraws to Capernaum with his mother, brothers, and disciples, for a few days (v. 12)
Jesus goes to Jerusalem, 1st Passover (2:13f)
Back to Judea, where John was baptizing at Aenon (3:22). Joint campaign of baptizing in the Jordan area.Driving out of moneychangers from Temple
Dialogue with Nicodemus (3:1f)
Leaves Judea, back to Galilee, passing through Samaria, because of plots of Pharisees (4:1; see note on John’s arrest in 3:24).
[This might be where MK 1:14f and the Galilee ministry would fit in. See below at 6:1f.]He is in Cana and Capernaum, where he heals official’s son (4:46f)
Trip to Jerusalem for unnamed Feast (5:1f)
Back to Sea of Galilee (6:1f). Time of 2nd Passover (6:4).Heals paralyzed man on the Sabbath
[This is the best hook-in to the Synoptic tradition. See Mark 6:36f. Note where this is in Mark’s narrative. Does all of the Markan narrative, set in Galilee (Chapters 1:14-8:27) fit in here, at the time of the 2nd Passover, when he is in the Galilee area? This would begin with John 4:43f. Note that in John 3:24 John had not yet been arrested! But in Mark 1:14 he begins his Galilee ministry after John’s arrest.]Feeding of the 5000
Walking on the sea
Teaching in synagogue at Capernaum (bread of life/blood sayings 6:35-59)
General movement in Galilee (7.1). Danger in Judea.
To Jerusalem at Feast of Tabernacles (Fall of year) (7:10f).
Still in Jerusalem at Hanukkah (December) (10:22).Taught in Temple, stayed on Mt. of Olives. Strong confrontation with Jews, heals man born blind (chapters 7, 8, 9, 10)
Withdraws again across Jordan, where John used to baptize (10:40).
Goes to Judea, to Bethany near Jerusalem, to raise Lazarus (11:1f).Here he is in danger, and hiding out. (See 4:3; 7:1, 10; 8:59 for previous examples)
Has to withdraw to Ephraim (north of Jerusalem) to hide (11:54).
Returns to Jerusalem area one week before 3rd Passover (12:1).
[Here we face the question of where to place the material in MK 8:27-10:1. Notice though, in MK 10:1, he is in the region of Judea and beyond the Jordan. But according to John, he spent the whole Fall and Winter in the general area (7:10ff).]
At Bethany, when Mary anoints him (12: 1-8)
[Note Mk 14: 1-9 this occurs later, just before Passover and after Jesus had entered the city, cleaned out the Temple, and pronounced its doom]
Entrance into Jerusalem (12:12f).
