Because Bungie is known to throw in mythological and biblical references it may refer to two verses in the Gospel of John. These references are John 1:17 and John 11:7(John, Chapter 1, verse 17 and John, chapter 11, verse 7).[/quote] A perfect example of go back and try again. Read the books home slice.........the Spartan ll progam came after he was assigned his number![/quote] I read all the books. Dr. Halsey was looking at all the possible candidates which was the very beggining of the SPARTAN-II Program. ONI gave them the numbers when the spooks gave Halsey the dossier on all the candidates.[/quote] *FACEPALM* Dude I think your right, as for the biblical part i dont think thats correct.

  • John is his birth name. 117 is his SPARTAN-II number. Some speculate that he was the 117th candidate chosen by ONI for the program.

These references are John 1:17 and John 11:7(John, Chapter 1, verse 17 and John, chapter 11, verse 7). [Edited on 08.28.2009 5:23 PM PDT]

  • The Books are more entertaining that the games, In the game they make Master Chief out to be a heartless killer, when in fact he does have feelings lol

  • He's the 117th John in a long and regal history of Johns. Seriously though, I think other people know a lot more than I do. I'm not up to snuff in my Halo lore outside of the three games.

  • 117 is actually a reference to a part of the bible, and for halo canon its just the number he was assigned when he was abducted by ONI(office of navel intelligence)

  • John is his actual birth name, as can be found in the first novel. 117 stands for his number in the rank of spartans, there was a lot of them.
