John 20:1-10

What day of the week is it? What time of day? Who goes to the tomb? What does she see? Who does she run to? What does she assume? Who gets to the tomb first? Why does he wait outside? What more does Peter see when he goes in? What happens when the other disciple goes in? What don't they yet understand?

20:11-18

Meanwhile, what is Mary doing? What does she see when she looks into the tomb? What do they tell her? Who does she see next? How does he address her? (compare 10:3) What message does he send to the disciples? What's the first thing that she tells them?

20:19-23

Now what time is it? How have the disciples gathered? How does Jesus get in? What does he say to them? What does he do next? What does he tell them about their mission? Then what does he do? Why? What will the Spirit allow them to do?

20:24-31

What more does Thomas want? When do they see Jesus again? Does Thomas actually touch the wounds? What does he call Jesus? What does Jesus say about seeing and believing? Why were these things written?

21:1-14

Where does Jesus meet the disciples next? Who goes fishing? Why don't they realize it's Jesus? What does he tell them to do? Who is the first to realize that it's Jesus? What does Peter do? What does Jesus ask for? How many fish have been caught? What's so remarkable about this catch?

21:15-19

What does Jesus ask Peter? What do you think Jesus means by 'more than these'? What does he tell Peter to do (3 times)? What does he tell Peter about his death? Might this suggest something about when this gospel was written? What does Jesus tell Peter to do?

21:20-25

Who does Peter see behind them? What does he ask Jesus? What answer does he get? What rumour does this prompt? What else does the gospel say about that disciple? What else does it say about the things Jesus did? Once more, why were these particular things written?
