Morphology
The phrase is directly compositional: 'Gospel' denotes a book about Jesus and the preposition 'of' plus the name 'John' signals that this is the gospel associated with John, so the meaning ('the gospel authored/attributed to John') can be inferred from the parts. This possessive/attributive naming pattern for texts is common across languages and follows standard English noun + of + proper name structure, so a B1 learner who knows the constituents will readily understand it.
Etymology
Gospel of John was named long ago because early Christians believed the disciple John wrote or told this particular gospel, a 'book about Jesus'. So today the name means the 'book about Jesus' that people long ago said came from John.
