An Exposition of the Gospel of St. John is unavailable, but you can change that!
John MacEvilly’s exposition of the gospel of John offers a clear, Catholic, passage-by-passage interpretation of the text. It combines traditional exegesis with moral exhortation and so has been widely used as a daily devotional. The work was originally intended for laymen, but quickly found a place as a textbook in seminary education and has seen numerous editions.

He conveys that He is Himself prepared, at His Father’s command, to give His life
