The word "believe" is found 75 times in the NIV Bible's Gospel of John.
A:The fourth gospel refers several times to a "disciple whom Jesus loved". The Gospel was originally anonymous, but during the later part of the second century, Church Fathers came to the conclusion that this disciple must have been John, and subsequently attributed the Gospel to John.
The gospel now known as John's Gospel was originally written anonymously and only attributed to John later in the second centuries. The Church Fathers noted that only this Gospel ever referred to the "disciple whom Jesus loved" and that this disciple was never referred to at the same time as the apostle John. They decided that the "disciple whom Jesus loved" and John were actually thesame person and that this must have been the author of the Gospel, which they consequently attributed to John. There is no historical reason to believe that the author of this gospel really was John and therefore no reason to believe that he was referring to himself in the third person. The three epistles now attributed to John were written in the first person.
John clearly mentions in john chapter 20 verse 31 This is written so that you may believe that Jesus christ is the Messiah.
The author of John's gospel, traditionally John himself, refers to himself as "the disciple whom Jesus loved" or "the one Jesus loved" depending on the translation. This passage is found in John 13:23. You can tell that the name "John" is missing from the text and from the context in the other gospels you can infer that the disciple in question is John.John 13:23 - One of them, the disciple whom Jesus loved, was reclining next to him.The author of John's Gospel was originally anonymous and for decades, the Church Fathers sought to establish who, in their view, probably wrote the fourth gospel. Finally they decided that the author must be the disciple referred to as "the disciple whom Jesus loved," saying that modesty prevented him from using his own name. They then decided that the beloved disciple was probably John, son of Zebedee, since John was not otherwise mentioned.However, modern New Testament scholars believe that John was not the author of the gospel that now bears his name. They say that the gospel could not have been written by an eyewitness to the life and mission of Jesus.
John never says "believe in the Gospel of John". John says that his gospel was written: "that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing you may have life in His name". .....................John20:31

The gospel of John
AnswerThe earliest of the New Testament gospels, now known as Mark's Gospel, did not include an account of the birth of Jesus. THese accounts were added by the authors of Matthew and Luke.The author of John knew Luke's account of the birth of Jesus, but did not include it in his gospel. In fact, he suggests that he did not even believe that Jesus was born in Bethlehem.
In the gospel of John, the eleventh chapter, the name of Jesus appears twenty four times, the most of any chapter in the Bible. It is interesting to note that the book of the Revelation of Jesus Christ (full title), also written by John and about the same size as the gospel of John only mentions the name of Jesus fourteen times in the entire book.
The two disciples Matthew and John wrote Gospels about Jesus' life. Many also believe that Peter was an important source for the Gospel of Mark.

A:According to Luke's Gospel, Jesus was related to John the Baptist. His mother Mary was the cousin of John's mother Elizabeth. There are several reasons to doubt this, including that John's Gospel says that the Baptist did not even know Jesus.
