Structure of the Gospel of John ch. 2 to 4

In the last couple of week we were dealing with passages from chapters 2 and 3. So, I thought it might be interesting for some of you to see a possible outline for the whole block: John 2 - 4. 

Noticing some parallelism in words, themes or chronological connections I ended up with this 9-parts chiastic structure: 

1. A. 2:1-12, Cana of Galilee   

2.   B. 2:13-23, Passover

3.     C. 2:24-3:21, Witness of men - Conversation with Nicodemus 

4.       D. 3:22-24, Baptisms  

5.         E. 3:25-36, John (the Baptizer) exalts Christ

6.       D', 4:1-3, Baptisms

7.     C. 4:4-42, Conversation with a woman of Samaria

8.   B'. 4:43-45, Historical reference to the feast (Passover)

9. A'. 4:46-54, Healing of a son in Cana of Galilee 

The flow of Romans chapters 1 through 5

 This is just a thought - like most of my posts.. Once Dr. Leithart wrote in his "Against Christianity" that the book was " a theological haiku" - collection of random thoughts, the ones that hopefully make sense for someone. 

While I was preparing a devotional message for a Lenten mid-week service I came across the idea that Paul kinda starts with wrath of God 1:18 and comes back to the same theme at 5:9. I started to compare the block and came up with this beautiful chiasm (more on chiasm or chiastic structures see here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chiastic_structure )

Paul begins with an Introduction 1:1-15. 

then: 

1. A. 1:16-17 - The Gospel of Christ - for all, both Jews and also the Greeks

2.   B. 1:18-32 - wrath of God 

3.     C. 2:1 - 3:20 - Judgement of God

4.       D. 3:21-26 - Righteousness of God 

5.     C'. 3:27 - 4:25 - Justification by faith

6.   B'. 5:1-11 - Saved from the wrath of God 

7. A'. 5:12-21 - The Gospel of the One saving all.
