Meet the Apostles: John

Meet the Apostles: John by ric Gustafson


John was part of Jesus's inner circle. Jesus called John the disciple whom I loved. John was a son of Zebedee and was a brother of James. John and his brother had the nicknames of the ' Sons of Thunder'. John was present during Jesus's transfiguration. John was loyal to Jesus and was close to him.
Jesus asked him to prepare the Passover feast that became the Last Supper. Jesus entrusted him to take care of his mother. After Jesus's ascension, John became one of the first century's church leaders. He performed miracles and spoke to crowds. He was a prolific writer and contributed three short letters and wrote a apocalyptic vision from God called the book of Revelation.
John was the only Apostle who did not die a martyr's death.
