Which gospel does not mention the Kingdom of God?

• A. The Gospel of John
• B. The Gospel of Matthew
• C. The Gospel of Mark
• D. The Gospel of Luke

Answer: (A)

The idea being tested is how each Gospel presents the reign or rule of God. In Matthew, Mark, and Luke, Jesus speaks about the Kingdom of God (or, in Matthew’s language, the Kingdom of Heaven) as a central topic—God’s reign breaking into the world, the call to repent, and the invitation to enter that reign. The Gospel of John, however, centers more on who Jesus is and what it means to believe in him, with themes of eternal life, light versus darkness, and relationship with God. While John does touch on Jesus’ kingship and his authority, the exact phrase “Kingdom of God” isn’t used as a repeated, defining motif in his account. There are moments that hint at God’s rule in a broader sense, but the explicit term “Kingdom of God” isn’t part of John’s prominent vocabulary. So, this makes the Gospel of John the one that does not mention the Kingdom of God in the way the other three do.
