Podcasts about st john's gospel

On this week's podcast, Vicky Walker talks to the actor Sir David Suchet, whose reading of the whole of St John's Gospel will be broadcast online on Easter Day at 4 p.m. The reading was recorded in the Jerusalem Chamber at Westminster Abbey, and will be streamed at www.youtube.com/c/WestminsterAbbeyLondon/. “I want the listener to feel very comfortable. I want you to be sitting with me,” he says. “And as I look into the camera, I'll be looking at you. And I'm just reading to you. I may be speaking to what may amount to millions, but my tone is intimate, warm, friendly, not to push you away, but draw you in and just share it.” Sir David also talks in the interview about his conversion to Christianity and his journey of faith since. In 2015, Sir David, best-known for playing Agatha Christie's fictional detective Hercule Poirot, recorded the first full-length audio version of the Bible, for the NIV Audio Bible App by Hodder & Stoughton (News, 1 January 2016). In 2017, he read the whole of St Mark's Gospel aloud in the pulpit of St Paul's Cathedral, to more than 2000 people (News, 7 April 2017). The video has received 2.4 million views online.

Saint Bartholomew was one of the Twelve Apostles, a Galilean; the Gospel accounts say little more about him. It is said that, after receiving the Holy Spirit at Pentecost, he traveled in the service of the Gospel to Arabia and Persia, and brought to India a translation of the Gospel according to Matthew. Eusebius writes that one hundred years later Pantaenus, an illustrious Alexandrian scholar, found this gospel when he traveled in India. By most accounts Bartholomew ended his life in Armenia, where he met his martyrdom by crucifixion. According to many, he and Nathaniel are the same person: the Gospel accounts that speak of Bartholomew do not mention Nathaniel; and St John's Gospel,which mentions Nathanael as one of the Twelve, does not mention Bartholomew. But according to the Greek Synaxarion, Bartholomew and Simon the Zealot are one and the same.   Saint Barnabas was one of the Seventy, from Cyprus, a Levite and at one time a fellow-student with St Paul under Gamaliel. After Christ's Ascension, he led the Seventy until the Apostle Paul's conversion. He is mentioned often in the Acts of the Apostles, which describes some of his travels as a companion of St Paul. By all accounts, he was the first to preach the Gospel of Christ in Rome and in Milan. His wonder-working relics were discovered on the island of Cyprus in the time of the Emperor Zeno; on this basis the Church of Cyprus was established as an independent Church, since it had an apostolic foundation.

This address - 11 days after Christmas - commences with readings of the familiar Christmas Story in St Matthew's Gospel written for Jews by St Matthew, a Jewish convert to a "blasphemous, breakaway Jewish sect calling themselves Christians" and the rather more succinct account of Jesus' arrival in St John's Gospel as "The Word made Flesh". There is also a brief account of "the Commercial Christmas" narrative that has insinuated itself into the spirit of Christmas, globally and terminally.The use of the Jewish didactic convention of the Midrash in St Matthew's account - saw the creation of a narrative on a human scale that has stirred the imagination of Christian artists, musicians, writers and poets for over two millennia. However, today's address soon takes listeners away from the familiar mythology of the Nativity to focus instead on the Christmas Stars that prompted that Magi to commence their journey in search of stable, manger and Jesus. The serenity and turmoil to be found in Nature and the Cosmos beyond, provides insights into ourselves and the natural world and suggests new stories and understandings shaped by Science.

One of the Twelve Apostles, he was a Galilean by birth. His name means "twin." The twentieth chapter of St John's Gospel describes how, when he doubted the appearance of the Risen Lord, Christ appeared to him again, saying "Reach hither thy hand, and thrust it into my side; and be not faithless, but believing," at which Thomas cried out "My Lord and my God!" Through this one event the Holy Scriptures attest that Christ is risen bodily, not merely as a spirit, as some heresies claim; and that He is in fact God. After Pentecost, St Thomas proclaimed the Gospel in the East, and established the Christian faith as far as India, where the small remnant of the ancient Church still traces its foundation to him. According to some accounts he met a martyr's end; according to others, he reposed in peace. St John Chrysostom mentions that his tomb was in Edessa in Syria; his relics may have been translated there from India in the fourth century.

In John 16 Jesus discusses the mission of the Holy Ghost. Why should the Spirit come? And what would be his job description? Our Lord gives a surprising answer that is likely to be very different from what is preached in many churches today. Some of the most difficult verses in St John's Gospel are found in chapter 16: " 7 Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you. 8 And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment: 9 Of sin, because they believe not on me; 10 Of righteousness, because I go to my Father, and ye see me no more; 11 Of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged." Why would the Holy Spirit's main mission be to convict the world? Why of sin, of righteousness and of judgment? What about the seemingly strange and incomprehensible reasons that Jesus gives for this? Tune in to Bible Time and find out!
