Gospel of John is the only gospel that portray Jesus as god himself;
"In the beginning was the Word [Christ], and the Word was with God, and the Word was God" (1: 1)..
And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us.John 1:14.
Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am. John 8:58.
I and my Father are one. Then the Jews took up stones again to stone him.John 10:30-31
The Father is in me, and I in him. Therefore they sought again to take him.John 10:38-39
He that hath seen me hath seen the Father. John 14:9
And Thomas ed and said unto him, My LORD and my God.John 20:28
Contrary to popular belief, Mark actually has what many regard as a 'higher' and 'broader' statement of Jesus' divinity than does John.
This is plain from any superficial reading of the Gospel. For example:
- in chapter 1 verse 1 where He is called the Son of God.
- in chapter 1 verse 24 the demons He was casting out testified of His identity. This is a repeated theme in Mark see also chapter 3:11.
- in chapter 2 he forgives the sin of the paralysed man, something only God can do, and healed him to confirm His authority to do so.
- in chapter 4:35-41 He shows His power over the elements by stilling the storm.

What did Jesus say to the man on the cross to the left of him?
A:Mark's Gospel, the first account to be written, simply says (Mark 15:27-28) that Jesus was crucified between two thieves, one on his left hand and one on his right hand, so that the scripture be fulfilled as Jesus was numbered among the transgressors.Luke's Gospel says that one of the malefactors mocked Jesus, while the other repented, saying to Jesus, "Lord remember me in paradise," to which Jesus said unto him, "Verily I say unto thee, To day shalt thou be with me in paradise."Matthew's Gospel says both thieves mocked Jesus - (Matthew 27:44): "They cast the same in his teeth." There is no suggestion that Jesus spoke to either of them, and no likelihood that Jesus would have promised he would be in paradise. Luke's is the theologically most important account and thus the account most Christians prefer.

Why in Mark's Gospel do the Jews say truly you are the Son of God?
In Mark's Gospel, only outsiders call Jesus the Son of God. Another example occurs in Mark 3:11-12, when the demons fall down and call Jesus the Son of God, but Jesus is quick to instruct them to tell no one, thus no more than an implied admission.

How is Jesus as God significant in John's Gospel?
The synoptic Gospels did not really define Jesus as God, but portrayed him as human. The first Gospel written, the Gospel According to St Mark, has Jesus say "Why call me good. There is none good but God." (10:18). Matthew and Luke have Jesus born of the Holy Ghost, but still not truly divine.The Gospel According to St John opens by clearly stating that in the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and the Word was God. He made it clear that, to him, Jesus was the Word and, therefore, Jesus existed from the beginning and was God. John's Gospel, written in Greek, also has Jesus saying 'I am' in such a context that, in Greek, he was telling his audience that he was God.The early Church Fathers were unenthusiastic about John's Gospel. It was too different to the synoptic Gospels and had overtones of Gnosticism, at the time a separate branch of Christianity. However, Irenaeus supported its clear statement of Jesus as divine, and insisted that there should be four gospels.
Is there proof in the Bible that Jesus is the true God?
All proofs in the Bible that Jesus is the true God rely on uncritical acceptance of the gospel testimony and the prior belief that his spiritual father, the Abrahamic God, is the ultimately true god. If this is true, then when God spoke from heaven, calling Jesus his Son, this could be interpreted as proof that Jesus was truly God. The Resurrection could provide further supporting evidence, but by itself could simply be evidence that God willed Jesus to complete his mission on earth.
What do you mean by saying Jesus Christ is truly god and truly man?
Jesus Christ is truly God and truly man because the Trinity is 3 persons in one God (meaning all three are truly God) and through the Incarnation Jesus was conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit and became both truly man and truly God.
Why should a new convert read the Gospel of John first?
The earlier gospels leave some doubt as to just how divine Jesus was. Mark's Gospel says that Jesus was a human with divine powers, adopted by God as his Son, at his baptism. The next two gospels, Matthew and Luke say that Jesus was born of a virgin and truly was the Son of God. Only John actually says that Jesus was God and that he was present in the beginning of creation, and only John has Jesus raise Lazarus from the dead.By reading John's Gospel first, the new convert understands that modern Christians regard Jesus as God, in the same way as his Father.
