John 1

John goes all the way back to the beginning! He identifies Jesus as the Word. The idea of word or logos has both Jewish and Greek implications. According to the Archeological Study Bible (pg 1721), "The phrase, "in the beginning was the Word"Jn1:1 obviously echoes Genesis 1, which records that God created simply by speaking..." and in Greek tradition logos was used by the Greek philosopher Heraclitus, "in the sense of an ordering principle for the universe... logos is the divine logic that gives order to the universe" We see that John elegantly is targeting two audiences with opening of his book by pointing out that Jesus is the Word!

In verses 35-40 we see Jesus call two of John the Baptist's disciples. One is mentioned (Andrew) and one is not. This could be John the author of the Book of John?!?!??!
