- Jesus Prophecy Tracker — how to read the map
Follow Jesus from the annunciation to exaltation, then open the Old Testament passages that the New Testament connects with each phase. Read the event, the original passage, and the kind of connection together. - Jewish diaspora communities appeal for protected worship and funds

Joanna, connected with the household of Herod's steward Chuza, supports Jesus's ministry and is named among the women reporting the empty tomb. - Job
Job places an innocent sufferer's protest against friends who insist on a simple connection between conduct and fortune. Prose framing, poetic debate, divine speeches, and the closing judgment must be read together… - Job and the problem of suffering
Job's wisdom dialogue wrestles with suffering, justice, and the limits of human explanations of providence. - Joel
Joel moves from devastating loss and a call to communal return toward restoration, the gift of the Spirit, and the day of the Lord. Its date is debated; the book itself does not name the ruling king. - Joel: repentance and the day of the Lord
Joel calls for communal repentance and promises the outpouring of God's Spirit; the book is difficult to date. - Johannes Gutenberg
Printer associated with interchangeable metal type in fifteenth-century Mainz. - John 13 — before the feast, during supper
John 13:1 permits an introductory reading concerning Jesus’ knowledge and love before the feast, while 13:2 enters the supper. Narrative parallels support identifying John’s supper with the Synoptic Last Supper. They… - John 18:28 — eat the Passover
Broader festival language allows continued participation in Passover meals or offerings. Many Torah impurities ended at evening, making a daylight concern possible. Neither the exact meal nor the precise impurity is… - John Calvin
French reformer who ministered in Geneva and developed the Institutes. - John Chilembwe
Malawian pastor and organizer of the Providence Industrial Mission. - John Chrysostom and preaching
Chrysostom's preaching and episcopal ministry leave a major legacy in biblical interpretation and liturgical tradition. - John Chrysostom is removed and exiled

John defends depictions of the incarnate Christ while rejecting a depiction of invisible divinity. - John of Damascus, Exposition of the Orthodox Faith II.3–4
John says angels serve nations and regions and bring aid; II.3 also stresses they are created and limited. II.4 says God reveals the future to angels. This is a boundary on angelic knowledge, not a claim transferred… - John prepares the way in Elijah's role
Jesus identifies John with the expected Elijah, while Luke describes John's work in Elijah's spirit and power. - John prepares the way; Jesus is baptized
John calls Israel to repentance; Jesus is baptized and receives the heavenly declaration of sonship. - John Smyth
English separatist minister associated with Amsterdam believers baptism. - John Sung
Chinese evangelist active across China and Southeast Asia. - John the Baptist's death in two narratives
Mark and Josephus both associate John's death with Herod Antipas, but explain the circumstances differently. Josephus names Machaerus and emphasizes the ruler's fear of John's influence over the crowds. - John Wesley
Anglican priest and organizer of the Methodist revival. - John Wesley serves in Georgia
An Anglican chaplain enters a colonial setting. - Jonah
Jonah narrates a reluctant prophet whose flight, prayer, preaching, and anger expose resistance to mercy. The story's final question concerns Nineveh and the prophet's compassion, not only the remarkable fish. - Jonah and Nineveh
The narrative challenges narrow expectations of mercy through Jonah's mission to Nineveh. - Jonah as a sign of burial and rising
Jesus compares Jonah's time in the fish with the Son of Man's time in the heart of the earth. - Joseph and Israel in Egypt
Joseph's story brings the family of Israel to Egypt and prepares the narrative setting for Exodus. - Josephus completes the Jewish Antiquities
Josephus completes a twenty-book account of Jewish history. Its later books preserve the accounts of John the Baptist, Agrippa's death, Helena's relief, and James that Eusebius will draw upon. - Josephus writes the Jewish War
Josephus produces the history that will become a central source for the revolt, the siege, and Jerusalem's destruction. Eusebius later quotes it extensively in Church History III. - Joshua
Joshua narrates entry into Canaan, conflict, land distribution, and covenant renewal. Rahab's household, Achan's offense, and the final call to serve God complicate a reading concerned only with military success. - Joshua and settlement traditions
Joshua narrates Israel's entry into the land and covenant renewal; the archaeological and historical picture of settlement is complex. - Joshua before the angel of the LORD
An accused high priest receives clean garments and a promise of restoration. - Joshua falls before the Ark
Joshua falls before the Ark while appealing to the Lord after Israel's defeat. - Josiah dies at Megiddo; Egypt imposes a new king
Second Kings recounts Josiah's death during Neco's advance, followed by Jehoahaz's brief reign. Neco removes him, appoints Jehoiakim, and demands tribute. - Josiah's reform and book of the Law
A discovered book of the Law prompts covenant renewal and reforms in Judah. - Jotapata falls and Josephus enters Roman custody
After the Roman capture of Jotapata, Josephus survives and enters Roman custody. His account of this turning point helps readers understand the position of the historian whom Eusebius later quotes. - Jubilees 2:2: angels and aspects of creation
Jubilees describes angels associated with winds, clouds, weather, and seasons in its creation account. This is the cosmology of this literary witness. It can inform an interpretation of heavenly worship but cannot… - Judas Iscariot
Judas is named among the Twelve, becomes the betrayer, and dies before the resurrection mission of the apostolic body. Acts explains the vacancy filled by Matthias. - Judges
Judges portrays cycles of oppression and rescue that develop into escalating moral and social breakdown. Its deliverers are not uniformly exemplary, and its closing stories expose severe violence within Israel.
