The Gospel of John presents a striking contrast to the Synoptic Gospels by showing that the disciples did not understand Jesus’ resurrection until after it happened, despite earlier warnings found in Matthew, Mark, and Luke. This seeming contradiction reflects not a factual error but a psychological truth: the disciples were unable to comprehend a Messiah who would suffer and die. John’s Gospel emphasizes spiritual insight over mere knowledge, portraying faith as a gradual, inner awakening rather than instant understanding. In doing so, it guides the reader through a dramatic journey from confusion to revelation, ending in a deeply personal encounter with the risen Christ.
