A John's story - A story of John - A story of John's ?
What is the difference between them? Can I say for example if I am going to repeat a story I have heard from John, 'and here is a story of John's?'

That would be OK if perhaps John had created the story or he had a reputation for telling this story. But if John was only passing on a story he had himself heard, then you would say something like, "a story I heard from John / a story John told me"
