When did the seven signs in John's Gospel occur?
The seven signs in John’s Gospel occurred before Jesus’ death, burial, and resurrection. They are described as miracles that took place prior to the completion of all that had to be done. The eighth sign, by contrast, appears in the last chapter of John as a sign of new beginnings.
Les teaches that John’s Gospel contains eight signs, and all eight were miracles. He explains that seven of those signs took place before Jesus’ death, burial, and resurrection, which completed all that had to be done. The eighth sign and miracle is found in the last chapter of John, and Les identifies it as the sign of new beginnings. He adds that this pattern is seen all through Scripture and proposes looking at the first seven before taking another look at the eighth.
