It is named for seven notable events, often called `` signs '' or `` miracles '', that it records. Contents 1 Location in text 2 Seven signs 2.1 Crucifixion as the seventh sign 2.2 Eighth sign 3 References Location in text Main article : Gospel of John § Structure and content There is a widespread scholarly view that John 's gospel can be broken into four parts : a prologue, ( John 1 : - 1 : 18 ), the Book of Signs ( 1 : 19 to 12 : 50 ), the Book of Glory ( or Exaltation ) ( 13 : 1 to 20 : 31 ) and an epilogue ( chapter 21 ). John 20 : 30 Therefore many other signs Jesus also performed in the presence of the disciples, which are not written in this book ; 31 but these have been written so that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God ; and that believing you may have life in His name. It is this indication by the author of the gospel that the signs are selected, which leads to the examination of them as a sequence of seven. Seven signs The seven signs are : Changing water into wine at Cana in John 2 : 1 - 11 - `` the first of the signs '' Healing the royal official 's son in Capernaum in John 4 : 46 - 54 Healing the paralytic at Bethesda in John 5 : 1 - 15 Feeding the 5000 in John 6 : 5 - 14 Jesus walking on water in John 6 : 16 - 24 Healing the man blind from birth in John 9 : 1 - 7 The raising of Lazarus in John 11 : 1 - 45 The seven signs are seen by some scholars and theologians as evidence of new creation theology in the Gospel of John, the resurrection of Jesus being the implied eighth sign, indicating a week of creation and then a new creation beginning with the resurrection. Crucifixion as the seventh sign Others, such as John Marsh and Stephen Smalley, have suggested six initial signs ( seeing the walking on the water as part of feeding the 5000, rather than a separate sign in itself ), and that the seventh sign is the crucifixion of Jesus. Eighth sign Others, such as John Hutchinson and E.W. Bullinger, have emphasized a sequence of eight signs, concluding with the miraculous catch of fish in John 21 : 1 - 14.
