Start in John
Open any Bible to the Gospel of John. Read from chapter 1 with the five questions in front of you.
Write it down
Every time Jesus answers one of the five questions, note the verse and what He said. Keep a running record.
See the pattern
By the time you finish all four Gospels, the dots connect themselves. The pattern is unmistakable.
Whether it's your first read or your thousandth – these five questions will make it feel like a first read.
Which Bible?
The best one is the one you already have. If you need a recommendation, these modern translations offer clarity and stay closer to the oldest manuscripts.
The GWT is the easiest to read. The NET includes full translator notes – ideal for serious study.
