This paper investigates various conceptual metaphors of John's Gospels, based on the conceptual metaphor theory of Lakoff and Johnson(2003). It discusses that the religious language conceptualizes the religious experience of God metaphorically and expresses it based on a conceptual metonymy THE SOURCE DOMAIN FOR THE TARGET DOMAIN. This metonymy is used in calling God which is the target domain with the concept of the source domain: Father! etc. It also analyses all metaphors and metonymies with which John’s Gospel conceptualizes and expresses the relationship between God and Jesus, God and the world, and between Jesus and the world. It shows that there are various metaphorical conceptualizations of religious experiences.
