In the Hebrew Bible (Exodus 3:14), it is the personal name of God, revealed directly to Moses. [1] These usages have been the ...
John in the Bible. In Christian scholarship, the Book of Signs is a name commonly given to the first main section of the Gospel of John, from 1:19 to the end of Chapter 12.
