How I found the other names for Jesus.
- First, I printed John chapter one. Using a site like YouVerson or BlueLetterBible and a method I learned in Bible college. I selected THREE different Bible versions. A good method is to look in original language version such as the HCSB. Then look in a modern language version such as the NLT. And you might read the chapter with a paraphrase version. So I applied this method.
- Second, I looked at my printed Bible versions, from John chapter one. With a color pencil, then I circle all the names and titles for Jesus. There are many names for Jesus in this first chapter of John.
- Third, I compare the names and titles of Jesus. And so I am able to make a list for you to read.
