Show Notes

John the Apostle, also known as John the Evangelist, was one of the twelve apostles of Jesus and is believed to have been the youngest of them. He is best known for his close relationship with Jesus, his role in the early Christian church, and his writings in the New Testament of the Bible.

 

According to the Gospels, John was originally a fisherman from the town of Bethsaida on the shores of the Sea of Galilee. He was the son of Zebedee and the brother of James, who was also one of the twelve apostles. John was a disciple of John the Baptist before he began following Jesus.

 

John was one of the closest and most trusted disciples of Jesus. He was present at many key events in Jesus' life, including the Transfiguration, the Last Supper, and the crucifixion. Jesus entrusted John with caring for His mother, Mary, after His death.

 

After Jesus' resurrection, John became a prominent leader in the early Christian church. He preached and taught in various places, and he wrote several books of the New Testament, including the Gospel of John, three epistles, and the Book of Revelation. His writings emphasized the love of God and the importance of faith in Jesus.
