John 21:25
Now there are also many other things that Jesus did. Were every one of them to be written, I suppose that the world itself could not contain the books that would be written.

Earlier in this section, note what happened when Pilate learned that Jesus said he was the Son of God:
John 19:4-8
Pilate went out again and said to them, “See, I am bringing him out to you that you may know that I find no guilt in him.” So Jesus came out, wearing the crown of thorns and the purple robe. Pilate said to them, “Behold the man!” When the chief priests and the officers saw him, they cried out, “Crucify him, crucify him!” Pilate said to them, “Take him yourselves and crucify him, for I find no guilt in him.” The Jews answered him, “We have a law, and according to that law he ought to die because he has made himself the Son of God.” When Pilate heard this statement, he was even more afraid.
John is writing his book so that we might know that Jesus is the Son of God. He has written this Gospel so that we can see the miracles, the teaching, the sacrifice and, most importantly, the claims that Christ said He was the Son of God. John’s gospel begins with the first miracle of Jesus (turning the water into wine) and ends with the claim that no book could contain all that Jesus did. We try to put Jesus in a bo and outline and study and teach all His miracles. John is telling us in the above verse, that IF he were to go on and writer all the things Jesus did, the world could not contain the books that could record those works. We worship the Son of God. He is not limited to what we know. We, through the Word of God, only have a glimpse of what we will know in the future:
1 Corinthians 13:12
For now we see in a mirror dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I have been fully known.
