One of the four gospels in the New Testament. It was the latest to be written. It has almost nothing in common with the synoptic gospels, and shows a unique theological attitude that can be called "John's theology." The gospel begins with the famous words, "In the beginning was the Logos, and the Logos was with God, and the Logos was God." It contains unique accounts such as the light as the incarnation of the Logos, an explanation of John the Baptist who appeared to bear witness to the only Son of the Father, John's testimony to Jesus, the miracle at the wedding feast in Cana of Galilee, a dialogue with Nicodemus, the healing of the lame and blind man of Sisse of Bethesda, an explanation of Jesus' own testimony, the resurrection of Lazarus, and the resurrection of Jesus himself. It also explains many deeds and signs as testimony of Jesus, the Son of God, and in their organic or symbolic connection with Christian doctrine (especially the church). Compared to the other gospels, it also emphasizes life and love (God's love, Christ's love, Christian love) more than any other gospel, and is therefore called the Gospel of Love. Irenaeus attributes the authorship to John the son of Zebedee, one of the Twelve Apostles, but this is uncertain.

新約聖書4福音書の一つ。最も遅く成立した。共観福音書とは内容的にほとんど共通したところがなく,「ヨハネの神学」ともいうべき独特の神学的態度がうかがえる。福音書は「初めにロゴスがあった,ロゴスは神とともにあった。ロゴスは神であった」との有名な言葉に始り,ロゴスの受肉としての光,父のひとり子についてのあかしのために現れたバプテスマのヨハネについての説明,ヨハネによる神の子イエスについてのあかし,ガリラヤのカナにおける婚礼の宴での奇跡,ニコデモとの対話,ベテスダのシセの足なえや盲人の治癒,イエス自身のあかしについての説明,ラザロの復活,イエスの復活など,ほかにはない記事があるだけではなく,多くの事跡,しるしが神の子イエスのあかしとして,またキリスト教教理 (特に教会について) との有機的ないし象徴的連関において解説されている。また他の福音書に比べて生命や愛 (神の愛,キリストの愛,キリスト教徒の愛) が一層強調されており,愛の福音書とも呼ばれている。エイレナイオスは十二使徒の一人ゼベダイの子ヨハネを著者とするが確かでない。
