The Purpose of John’s Gospel

³⁰ Jesus performed many other signs^(A) in the presence of his disciples, which are not recorded in this book.^{(B) 31} But these are written that you may believe^[a](C) that Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of God,^(D) and that by believing you may have life in his name.^(E)

²⁵ Jesus did many other things as well.^(A) If every one of them were written down, I suppose that even the whole world would not have room for the books that would be written.
