Historical Background

This verse comes from John's Gospel, written in the late first century by one of Jesus' disciples. It was directed at early Christian communities, reminding them of their faith and guidance they would receive post-Jesus’ ascension, within a Jewish cultural context mixed with emerging Gentile influences.
