| John 14:1 |
Commentary

Early Christians gave animal symbols to each Gospel. John's symbol was the eagle. Like a bird of prey, the Gospel circles its target. That's what the writer does. He picks a theme-like his central theme of the deity of Jesus-and circles it many times by saying the same thing in many ways.
