| | John the Apostle, Saint -- Encyclopædia Britannica |
 | | Mentioned only by name in the Apostle lists of the Synoptic Gospels, he is a frequent character in the Gospel According to John, according to which (1:43–51) he came from Bethsaida, answered Jesus' call (“Follow me”), and was instrumental in the call of St. Nathanael (probably St. Bartholomew the Apostle), whom he brought to Jesus. | | | The son of Zebedee, a Galilean fisherman, and Salome, John and his brother James were among the first disciples called by Jesus. | | | The largest city in the province of New Brunswick, Saint John lies at the mouth of the St. John River on the Bay of Fundy. |

| | CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: St. Thomas the Apostle |
| | Little is recorded of St. Thomas the Apostle, nevertheless thanks to the fourth Gospel his personality is clearer to us than that of some others of the Twelve. | | | First, when Jesus announced His intention of returning to Judea to visit Lazarus, "Thomas" who is called Didymus [the twin], said to his fellow disciples: "Let us also go, that we may die with him" (John 11:16). | | | Again it was St. Thomas who during the discourse before the Last Supper raised an objection: "Thomas saith to him: Lord, we know not whither thou goest; and how can we know the way?" (John 14:5). |

| | Thought to have been the youngest of the twelve apostles, John was the son of Zebedee and of Salome, one of the women who went to the tomb to anoint the body of Jesus. | | | The gospel of St. John records that John (the disciple whom Jesus loved) stood at the foot of the cross and that he became the adopted son of the Theotokos. | | | John was a participant in the Council of Jerusalem (49), at which the church determined that Gentiles are not subject to Mosaic practices. |

| | The Apostle John is called the beloved Apostle who Jesus loved because of John 14:21-23, in my opinion because of obedience to those scriptures. | | | This is critically important in our day, as we transistion from the Gospel to the Gentiles (foundation--Apostle Paul's teachings) to the Gospel to the Jews (foundation--Apostle John's teachings directly referring to the commandment that Jesus gave). | | | I believe the Word of God was given to John by God. |

| | John the Apostle |
| | Like most of the other disciples, John, the son of Zebedee, was a Galilean fisherman. | | | According to Eusebios of Caesarea - perhaps the earliest historian of the Church true to name - Polycrates (bishop of Ephesos at the end of the 2nd century) claimed his city to be the home of John, of that particular John 'who reclined in the bosom of the Lord'. | | | According to tradition, during the persecution of Domitian John was exiled to the small island of Patmos (one of the present Dodecanese Islands) where he put in writing his Christian visions in the form of the Revelation as we have it today. |

| | Medieval Sourcebook: Life of St. John the Almsgiver |
| | John, the all-holy Patriarch (Papas), when he had arrived at Constantia paid reverent worship to the relics of the saints there, namely, Barnabas, the all-praiseworthy apostle, and Epiphanius, the great miracle-worker, and afterwards went on to Amathus and it was from there that he departed to be with his beloved Lord. | | | John Moschus, a Palestinian monk, was the author of the Pratum Spirituale - the 'Spiritual Meadow' or 'New Paradise' in which he gave an account of the lives of the solitaries whom he had visited in his wanderings. | | | For when John by divine decree received into his hands the reins of the high-priesthood, he found only seven churches maintaining the services of the Orthodox liturgy; and by much diligence he succeeded in increasing the number to seventy and in all these he authorized the celebration of the Immaculate Oblation. |

| | CIN - JOHN THE EVANGELIST |
| | It is as well to remember, of course, that at least fifty years-half a century of prayer and meditation, of teaching and debate-separate St John the Apostle from St John the Evangelist. | | | The aged bishop of Ephesus, who condensed all Christian teaching into the one imperative, 'Little children, love one another,' was the same St John who refused to enter a public bath-house where Cerinthus the heretic was known to be, for fear lest fire from heaven should destroy the very building (fire from heaven again"). | | | In short, we are still in the same position as those priests who interrogated St John after Pentecost (Acts 4:13) and who, 'discovering that Peter and John were simple men, without learning, were astonished.' Astonishment: that is what everyone must feel who comes to close quarters with St John. |

| | Revealing Truth behind The Revelation of St John |
| | Far from being a revelation, it is the most abstruse book in the whole bible; and it was not written by any apostle called John. | | | Thus in 15.3 the martyrs sing ‘the song of Moses and the song of the Lamb.’ We note from Revelation 1.5 that Christ is ‘the prince of the kings of the earth.’ Later, of course, he will be promoted to be king of kings. | | | The Christ of Revelation is actually born in heaven, and under pretty extraordinary circumstances (his mother is ‘clothed in the sun, with the moon at her feet, wearing twelve stars as a crown’ – a reasonable description of Isis). |
