The 7+1 Signs in the Gospel of John
The Gospel of John records eight "signs" (Greek: semeion)
by Jesus. They are divided into seven and one. The seven take place
during the ministry of Christ, and the last one after His resurrection.
The chiastic structure shows the first corresponding with the
eighth, the second with the seventh, the third
with the sixth, and the fourth with the fifth.
While the first four deal with what is preliminary and partial, the
latter four lead to what is permanent and final.
The above was derived from the The
Eight Signs in John's Gospel.
