New Testament Bible Study Assignment Studying the Gospels Instructions: For this assignment, you will be studying a chosen narrative from the Gospels that includes a question asked by Jesus. You have chosen between the following three passages (in BRPA 1): 1. Matthew 15:32-39 2. John 5:1-17 3. John 14:1-12 You will use the template below in order to complete a study of this passage. In your study, you will use the skills of Observation, Interpretation, Correlation, and Application that you have become familiar with through your reading in Everyday Bible Study . You will also consult and cite at least three additional scholarly sources. I. Introduction and Thesis Statement John 14:1-12 discusses Jesus’ disciples, as they were anticipating and worrying about Christ’s death. The Bible also records Jesus speaking individually to Thomas, Judas, and Phillip about the promise of the Holy Spirit. Referencing the amplified study Bible, the two main topics in this chapter is the first topic of Jesus is comforting his disciples, which is seen in verses 1-6. The second point is Jesus explaining the relationship and unity that Jesus has with the Father which is from verses 7-12. Reflections on the Readings of Sundays and Feastm will serve as an aid in explaining the message that Christ is emphasizing to his disciples, reassuring them that He is with them (Sobb).

II. Observation A. I have read the passage in both a formal translation (KJV, NKJV, NASB, ESV, or CSB) and a functional translation (NIV, NLT, or NCV). Highlight the correct answer. You will find a copy of the NASB, ESV, CSB, and NLT in your myWSB Library. o Yes o No B. Identify the basic elements of the story you are studying 1.

Plot: (50-100 words) Jesus explains to His disciples that they should not be fearful, and they should trust in God. Jesus tells them the dwelling places in His Father’s house that He is preparing for His disciples when He comes back to take them. Furthermore, Jesus explains to His disciples that they know the way to the place; it is through Christ Himself because He is the way the truth and the life, that no one can come to the Father except through Him. Phillip then asks Jesus to show them the father. Jesus replies He is the father and if they have seen Jesus, they have seen the father. 3.

4. Question(s) asked in narrative: Thomas asked “Lord, we do not know where we do not know where You are going: so how can we know the way?” John 14:5 Jesus asks his disciples, “Have I been with you for so long at time, and you do not know me clearly who I am? Anyone who has seen me has seen the father: How can you say, ‘Show us the Father?’ Do you not believe that I am the Father, and the Father is in Me?” C. List basic observations about this passage using the “Key Questions” for observation. Remember to consult the list of items from the observation section in studying the Gospels in Chapter 36. This will help you be more detailed in your answers to “who,” “what,” “where,” “when,” “why,” and “how.” This is also an excellent place to consult scholarly sources to provide detailed answers regarding context. 1.
