Follow the connections
Chapters help us find our place, but an argument or story can continue across a chapter boundary. Look for a change, contrast, consequence, or repeated concern that joins today’s sections. Reading those connections can prevent an isolated line from carrying a meaning it does not have.
Life in the Son
John arranges signs, conversations, and teaching to bear witness to Jesus and invite belief. Repeated images such as light, life, bread, and shepherd deepen across the narrative. Notice both what Jesus says and how listeners understand or misunderstand him.
With John 13–16 in view: What does this sign or conversation reveal about Jesus and the life he offers?
Reflect on today’s passage
How does the end of the reading develop something introduced earlier?
One response
Record one connection between two parts of today’s reading.
Pray
Bring one observation, one question, and one need from today’s reading to God. Ask for understanding and wisdom to respond faithfully.
