CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Pope John III (385 words) |
 | Although John reigned nearly thirteen years very little is known of his pontificate. |
| Influenced by the king's letters, John decided that they must be restored to their sees. |
| John retired to the catacomb of Prætextatus, where he remained for many months. |
| USCCB - NAB - John 3 (1215 words) |
| This is the first of the Johannine discourses, shifting from dialogue to monologue (John 3:11-15) to reflection of the evangelist (John 3:16-21). |
| The shift from singular through John 3:10 to plural in John 3:11 may reflect the early church's controversy with the Jews. |
| Jesus is depicted as baptizing (John 3:22); contrast John 4:2. |
