I will continue occasionally to insert information from The Urantia Book that you might find interesting.

     It is worth repeating the reminder that the Apostles and those individuals working with the Apostles to record the events of Jesus' earth life wrote honest accounts of the Master's life as they remembered them. But very little of the information in the four Gospels was inspired by God or by celestial beings acting for God. Then, too, the early Christian religious leaders did not hesitate to revise the written records. Thus, the eventual written records departed farther and farther from the actual events as they occurred during Jesus' bestowal on earth.

1. John 1:47-51: Regarding the choosing of Nathaniel, these passages contain mostly misinformation. Jesus did say to Nathaniel: "Behold a genuine Israelite, in whom there is no deceit. Follow me." The choosing of Nathaniel is described in The Urantia Book at 137:2:6,7.

2. John 2:1-11: The wedding at Cana; the miracle of the wine. This is a very confused account of how the water was turned into wine.
    The mother of Jesus asked him to provide more wine. Jesus refused. His mother broke down in tears. Mary the mother of Jesus was crushed; she was stunned! As she stood there before him motionless, with the tears streaming down her face, the human heart of Jesus was overcome with compassion for the woman who had borne him in the flesh; and bending forward, he laid his hand tenderly upon her head, saying: Now, now, Mother Mary, grieve not over my apparently hard sayings, for have I not many times told you that I have come only to do the will of my heavenly Father? Most gladly would I do what you ask of me if it were a part of the Father's will--" and Jesus stopped short, he hesitated. Mary took this as a "yes."
    Mary rushed off to the servants' quarters, saying, "Whatever my son says, that do." Jesus said nothing more. But his Personalized Adjuster signified that the execution of the Son's desire was in no way a contravention of the Father's will. Jesus did not turn the water into wine: The actual turning of the water into wine was performed by numerous celestial beings who stood nearby [but invisible to mortals].
    It gradually dawned on Jesus what had happened. Of all persons present at the marriage feast, Jesus was the most surprised. [See Paper 137:Section 4 for a detailed description of how the water was turned into wine.]

3. John 3:1-? The visit with Nicodemus.
    It is difficult to determine from a reading of Chapter 3 just how many of these verses relate to the visit between Nicodemus and Jesus. Further, these passages contain several statements erroneously ascribed to Jesus. For example, Jesus did not say "Except a man be born of water . . ." [verse 5]  Neither did Jesus say "And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, . . ."  [verse 14]  It appears that numerous of these verses were written after Jesus lived on earth and then inserted into the record. Jesus certainly did not make some of these comments to Nicodemus.
    Paper 142:Section 6 provides a detailed account of Jesus' conversation with Nicodemus.

    John 3:16: For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
    This famous verse is very misleading. God did not "give" Jesus to the earth or to mortals. His bestowal on earth was part of the training required of all Creator Sons who aspire to be the Sole Sovereign of their local universe. After Jesus successfully completed his seventh and final bestowal in the likeness of his created creatures he was given "all power in heaven and on earth."
    The Apostles believed that Jesus was the Eternal Son [God the Son]. Jesus is not the only begotten Son. He is a Creator Son of the Order of Michael. The Creator Sons are created by God the Father and God the Son. There are presently more than 700,000 Creator Sons in existence. However, Jesus is "the only begotten Son" in the sense that he is unique: throughout all eternity there will never be a personality identical to him.
    See paper number 21 in The Urantia Book for a description of the Creator Sons.

4. John 4:1-42: The Samaritan woman at the well. These Scriptures do present accurately some of the comments between Jesus and the Woman of Sychar. However, he did not make numerous of the comments ascribed to him. For a detailed account of Jesus' conversation with this Samaritan woman, see [143:5].

5. John 5:1-16: At the Pool of Bethesda. These Scriptures contain several erroneous statements. For a detailed description of Jesus' and John's visit to the pool of Bethesda, see [147:3].

6. John 5:17-47: These passages contain some true statements made by Jesus at various times. But some of the comments are definitely misleading, and others are erroneous. They appear to be a collection of miscellaneous comments supposedly made by Jesus, some of which he did say at various times, but some of which are erroneously ascribed to him. These passages support my belief that the Gospels were not inspired by God. God, or a celestial being acting for God, would never have inspired such disorganized material.

7. John 6:1-15: Jesus feeds the five thousand.
     After this stupendous wonder, the crowd spontaneously thought to proclaim Jesus king. The long-awaited deliverer of Israel had come! In the eyes of these simple-minded people the power to feed carried the right to rule. But Jesus refused to be their king. When Jesus explained his reasons for refusing to be made king, the multitude went away stunned and disheartened.
     Many who had believed in him turned back and followed him no more from that day.  [152:2,3]

8. John 6:15-21. Jesus supposedly walks on the water. Jesus did not walk on the water. In Peter's nighttime vision, he saw Jesus coming to them walking on the water. To Peter, this experience was always real.  [152:4]
[See my paper (36) item 1: Peter's nighttime vision.]
     Mark 4:35-41 may also relate to Peter's nighttime vision.

9. John 6:22-65: These passages appear to be a very confused account of the epochal sermon that Jesus gave at Capernaum. It contains numerous statements that Jesus did not make. For example: Jesus did not make the following statements:
    v. 51: . . . and the bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.
    v. 53: Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in you.
    v. 54: Whoso eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day.
    v. 55: For my flesh is meat indeed, and my blood is drink indeed.
    v. 56: He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, dwelleth in me, and I in him.
    v. 57: As the living Father hath sent me, and I live by the Father: so he that eateth me, even he shall live by me.
    To read what Jesus actually said during his epochal sermon in Capernaum, see Paper 153:Section 2.

10. John 8:12-59: The Discourse on Spiritual Freedom: Jesus made some of the statements in these passages during his discourse on spiritual freedom in Solomon's Porch.  [162:7]
      Note verse 59: Then took they up stones to cast at him: but Jesus hid himself, and went out of the temple, going through the midst of them, and so passed by.
      On this occasion Jesus' remarks so angered the unbelievers that they rushed forth for stones to cast at him. The agents of the Sanhedrin sought to place him under arrest, but Jesus quickly made his way through the temple corridors and escaped to a secret meeting place near Bethany where Martha, Mary, and Lazarus awaited him.  [162:7:6]
      For Jesus' complete talk on spiritual freedom, see paper 162:7.

11. John 9:1-7: The healing of the blind Josiah by Jesus.
      Verse 2 reads: And his disciples asked him, saying, Master, who did sin, this man, or his parents, that he was born blind?
      The rabbis taught that all such cases of blindness from birth were caused by sin. Not only were children conceived and born in sin, but a child could be born blind as a punishment for some specific sin committed by its father. They even taught that a child itself might sin before it was born into the world. They also taught that such defects could be caused by some sin or other indulgence of the mother while carrying the child.
      There was, throughout all these regions, a lingering belief in reincarnation. The older Jewish teachers, together with Plato, Philo, and many of the Essenes, tolerated the theory that men may reap in one incarnation what they have sown in a previous existence; thus in one life they were believed to be expiating the sins committed in preceding lives. The Master found it difficult to make men believe that their souls had not had previous existences.   [164:3:3,4]
      For a detailed account of the healing of Josiah see 164:3.
      For the full account of how Josiah cleverly baffled the hostile members of the Sanhedrin, see Paper 164:4.
      Josiah proved to be one of the recipients of the Master's miraculous ministry who turned out fruitfully, for he became a lifelong preacher of the gospel of the kingdom.  [164:5:4-6]

12. John 10:16: Said Jesus: And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd.
      Jesus' actual statement was: But I have many other sheep not of this fold, and these words are true not only of this world. These other sheep also hear and know my voice, and I have promised the Father that they shall all be brought into one fold, one brotherhood of the sons of God. And then shall you all know the voice of one shepherd, the true shepherd, and shall all acknowledge the fatherhood of God.  [165:2:9,10]
      It appears that his statement: "But I have many other sheep not of this fold, and these words are true not only of this world" is a clear reference to the fact that there are other inhabited worlds in his domain. [His domain is our Local Universe of Nebadon. In the mid-1930s there were more than three million inhabited planets in our Local Universe   (32:2:9)]

13. John 11:1-46: Lazarus is raised from the dead.
      Jesus did not perform the actual work of raising Lazarus from the dead. Lazarus was raised from the dead by celestial beings.
      168:1:10: The small group assembled before Lazarus's tomb little realized the presence near at hand of a vast concourse of all orders of celestial beings assembled under the leadership of Gabriel and now in waiting, by direction of the Personalized Adjuster of Jesus, vibrating with expectancy and ready to execute the bidding of their beloved Sovereign.
      168:1:11: When Jesus spoke those words of command, "Take away the stone," the assembled celestial hosts made ready to enact the drama of the resurrection of Lazarus in the likeness of his mortal flesh. Such a form of resurrection involves difficulties of execution which far transcend the usual technique of the resurrection of mortal creatures in morontia form and requires far more celestial personalities and a far greater organization of universe facilities.
      168:2:1: As this company of some forth-five mortals stood before the tomb, they could dimly see the form of Lazarus, wrapped in linen bandages, resting on the right lower niche of the burial cave. While these earth creatures stood there in almost breathless silence, a vast host of celestial beings had swung into their places preparatory to answering the signal for action when it should be given by Gabriel, their commander.
      168:2:2: Jesus lifted up his eyes and said: "Father, I am thankful . . ." When he had prayed, he cried with a loud voice, "Lazarus, come forth!"
      168:2:3: Though these human observers remained motionless, the vast celestial host was all astir in unified action in obedience to the Creator's word. In just twelve seconds of earth time the hitherto lifeless form of Lazarus began to move and presently sat up on the edge of the stone shelf whereon it had rested. His body was bound about with grave cloths, and his face was covered with a napkin. And as he stood up before them--alive--Jesus said, "Loose him and let him go."
      For a detailed description of the events surrounding the raising of Lazarus from the dead see Paper 167:Section 4 and Paper 168:Introduction, Sections 1, 2 and 5.

14. John 12:12-50: Jesus enters Jerusalem.
      This appears to be a confused account of the remaining time before the crucifixion of Jesus. See Paper 172: Sections 3 and 4; Paper 173:Introduction, Sections 1 and 2; Paper 174; Paper 175, Introduction, Section 1.
      The incident described in John 12:28-30 did not occur. There came no voice from heaven that thundered the words "I have both glorified it, and will glorify it again."

15. John, Chapters 13, 14, 15, 16, 17.
      A detailed account of the events that transpired during the Last Supper can be read in Papers 179, 180, and 181.

16. John, Chapters 18, 19, 20, and 21.
      See Papers 182 through 193 for a detailed description of the events of the last hours of Jesus' earth life, his crucifixion, his resurrection, and his appearance before various individuals and groups.

17. John The Beloved Disciple.
      John 21:7: Therefore that disciple whom Jesus loved saith unto Peter, . . .
      John 21:20: Then Peter, turning about, seeth the disciple whom Jesus loved following; . . .
      Since John was the youngest of the twelve and so closely associated with Jesus in his family affairs, he was very dear to the Master, but it cannot be truthfully said that he was "the disciple whom Jesus loved." You would hardly suspect such a magnanimous personality as Jesus to be guilty of showing favoritism, of loving one of his apostles more than the others. The fact that John was one of the three personal aides of Jesus lent further color to this mistaken idea, not to mention that John, along with his brother James, had known Jesus longer than the others.  [139:4:2]
