"When we read the Gospel of John in the Bible, we find that the events of Christ's life, death and resurrection are recorded in order to secure converts. The writer is ultimately not a biographer but an evangelist. We are not provided with an exhaustive record of every miraculous sign and event, but rather one that is selective to the express purpose of seeing unbelieving people come to trust unreservedly in who Christ is and what he has accomplished on the cross."
