The aspect of considering John to be the most Jewish of the Gospels by some Jewish scholars is present because of the way in which there is the representation of Jesus to be “The Word”. There had not been any other word chosen to represent Jesus mostly and therefore, this aspect makes it more Jewish. God’s instructions had been extremely important in the time of the Yahweh as per the Old Testament. The word “rabbi” (implying an individual eligible and capable of teaching religion) has also been utilized by John to represent Jesus in his gospel. In the Jewish society, the teachings of a rabbi had been important to be considered seriously and concentrated on.
