This volume opens with the prologue on the eternal Word made flesh and follows John's selected signs, the wedding at Cana, the healing at Bethesda, the feeding of the multitude, the walking on water, the opening of blind eyes, and the raising of Lazarus, together with the conversations with Nicodemus and the Samaritan woman and the I AM declarations by which Christ identifies Himself with the God of the burning bush.

Each volume in the MacArthur New Testament Commentary works verse by verse through the Greek text, explains the passage in its context, and presents its theology with precision, in the service of expository preaching rather than academic debate. The series is written for pastors preparing sermons, teachers preparing lessons, and any believer willing to study carefully, and it is the fruit of more than five decades of pulpit ministry at Grace Community Church.
