Did John reflect on, employ Lord’s prayer as an overarching scaffolding for how he witnesses to Yeshua the Messiah?
Does this explain some of the empaheses of John in contradistinction to the synoptics? By this later time, he would be focused on teaching others to obey all that the Messiah commanded, teaching it to the nations and baptizing them.
features
- use of “father” as title for God more than synoptics
- by proxy, greater use of title “son”
- greater explanation emphasis on the name of Yeshua invoked being the mechanism of requests being granted by the father (asking for things in his name, this is essentially absent from the synoptics apart from healing and signs performed in the name of Yeshua )
- greatest emphasis on Divine name and Earth Yahweh intermediary language of all - Gospels.
- greatest emphasis on above and below heaven versus Earth language
- greatest episode on doing the will of the father and the will of the father being performed
- only gospel to directly correlate bread from heaven being his yeshuas flesh and blood and the will of God about bread being connected
- the need for bread that will fill bread for eating
- Satan as ruler of world / concept of world/ as source of evil and temptation
