@Ella Rozett Yes, this friendly study method may work well with the Gospel of John. I have started to do that on my own along with some of the other (brief) Mary Magdalene references in the Synoptic Gospels. Kayleen introduced us to the Gospel of the Beloved Companion which the translator claims is older than the Gospel of John, was written by Mary Magdalene, and was the basis for John’s Gospel And the Gospel of Mary. While I believe that is not true, it is certainly an interesting read and amazing to hear John’s Gospel and the Gospel of Mary in the voice of Mary Magdalene. It adds a power to the text that I didn’t think was possible.
