영문 초록

This study aims to examine the metaphorical linguistic expressions from the Gospel of John in the Bible and find out their conceptual metaphors based on the conceptual metaphor theory. From the analysis of this figurative speech in the Gospel of John, we can find the followings: First, one abstract concept is understood in terms of several concrete concepts, and vice versa; second People, including St. John, at that time had metaphorical thinking like modern people; finally, social and cultural backgrounds in Mediterranean countries 2000 years ago are reflected in the language at that time, e.g., vine farming and sheep raising.
