The Fourth Gospel is written in [[Greek]], and even a superficial study of it is sufficient to reveal many peculiarities, which give the narrative a distinctive character. His vocabulary is, it is true, less rich in peculiar expressions than that of Paul or of [[Gospel of Luke|Luke]]: he uses in all about ninety words not found in any other [[hagiographer]].

Even more distinctive, the vocabulary is the grammatical use of pronouns, prepositions, and verbs. The [[Evangelist]] reveals a deep knowledge of Hellenistic speech of the first century AD, which are flavored with certain Hebrew expressions. His literary style is lauded for its noble, natural, and artistic simplicity. He combines in harmonious fashion the rustic speech of the [[Synoptic Gospels|Synoptic]]s with the urban phraseology of [[Saint Paul|St. Paul]].
