      Foreword

      In the years 2013 and 2014, I published three commentaries on Matthew, Mark and Luke for the liturgical years A, B, C with epubli in Berlin. Now I have written my fourth commentary for you and for your liturgical, catechetical and spiritual service – the commentary on the Fourth Gospel (according to “John”) which is used during the Liturgical Years (A, B, C) of the Roman Catholic Church (cf. 6.12.1 and during the Liturgical Years (A, B, C) of the Anglican Church (cf. 6.12.2) and by the other Churches (cf. 6.12.3–6.12.6), and I hope it will be useful and helpful to you. My hope is that I have grasped John’s spirit and that this spirit can inspire us as His followers/disciples here and now.

      All my commentaries are intended to provide a better, deeper and more profound understanding of biblical teachings and to help preach and teach the Good News more convincingly in word and deed, always and everywhere. Therefore it is necessary to prepare ourselves in five steps of the “Lectio Divina” according to Pope Benedict XVI¹ (Verbum Domini, Rome 2010, no. 87): to read (lectio) the “Word of God”, meditate/reflect on it (mediatio), pray with it (oratio) and internalize it (contemplatio), as well as live the biblical message (actio). The aim of these more synchronic commentaries is to improve the biblical, historical, linguistical, rhetorical and etymological background of the ancient biblical texts and to help the understanding of the theological, spiritual “Word of God” today. Whether you are a priest, a deacon, a catechist, a lay minister or a seminarian, this work will have achieved its goal if it succeeds in complementing and helping you in your preaching and/or in your teaching. This e-book/these e-books can be the basis for your self-study and ongoing formation programme.

      I especially want to thank the German Catholic institution missio Aachen for their “sponsoring” of my project in the context of the evangelization with my commentaries on the Gospels (Luke, Matthew and John) to bring the Good News to the people.

      I would like to thank Bishop Dr Paul Hinder, OFM Cap as the initiator of this project and also Mrs Alison Müller (text) and Mrs Gisela Schardt (bibliography and appendix) for their proof-reading and their suggestions for this work.
