Great Gospel of John

The Great Gospel of John (in the original German published as Das große Evangelium Johannis or Großes Evangelium Johannes) is a neo-revelationist text by Jakob Lorber, extending to about 5,500 pages in print, published in ten volumes. It is the major work of Lorber's "New Revelation" based on interior locution. It was written in Austria, in the town Graz, from August 1851 until July 1864.

Leopold Engel in 1891 wrote an addendum in an "11th volume", purportedly also based on interior locution. Supporters of the authenticity of Lorber's revelation are divided as to the authenticity of Engel's.

The Great Gospel is a detailed first-person narrative of Jesus' last three years of ministry on Earth. It is a day by day account of his miracles, healings, and conversations. It is built on the same structure of the original Gospel of John. Love and works of love are emphasised.

Whereas some of the chapters in the biblical book of John are not covered at all, other sections are added and in much detail. Pharisees are for example revealed to be extremely dangerous, continually plotting against Jesus even though he often forgave them; at one point, a Pharisaical plot to steal from the Romans is revealed, and at their trial Jesus, whose reputation for keen wisdom is known to the Romans by this time, is consulted. The Roman centurion is willing to execute the Pharisees because of their attempt to bribe him, yet Jesus says to let them go, after dividing their plunder: one third to Rome, one-third to the centurion's local needs, and one-third to the poor people of the nearby communities, some of whose children had been kidnapped by the Pharisees, to be sold as slaves.
