John the Apostle is traditionally held to be the author of the Gospel of John, and many Christian denominations believe that he authored several other books of the New Testament (the three Johannine epistles and the Book of Revelation, together with the Gospel of John, are called the Johannine works), depending on whether he is distinguished ...
Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, was one of the two who heard what John had said and who had followed Jesus. The first thing Andrew did was to find his brother Simon and tell him, "We have found the Messiah". [5] Andrew is called the Protokletos or "first-called". The gathering of the disciples in John 1:35–51 follows the many
The phrase "the disciple whom Jesus loved" (Ancient Greek: ὁ μαθητὴς ὃν ἠγάπα ὁ Ἰησοῦς, romanized: ho mathētēs hon ēgapā ho Iēsous) or, in John 20:2; "the other disciple whom Jesus loved" (τὸν ἄλλον μαθητὴν ὃν ἐφίλει ὁ Ἰησοῦς, ton allon mathētēn hon ephilei ho Iēsous), is used six times in the Gospel of John, [1] but in ...
The Gospel of John, like all the gospels, is anonymous. [14] John 21:22 [15] references a disciple whom Jesus loved and John 21:24–25 [16] says: "This is the disciple who is testifying to these things and has written them, and we know that his testimony is true". [11]
The writer of the gospel divides the events of verses 19 to 50 into four 'days': the day (or period) when the Jerusalem delegation met John to enquire into his identity and purpose (John 1:19-28) is followed by John seeing Jesus coming towards him "the next day" in verse 29, and on "the next day again", [1] he directs his own disciples towards following Jesus (John 1:35-37).
Only two of John's disciples follow Christ. One of those was Andrew, as we see in verse 40. The other is not known, although St. John Chrysostom says it was the author St. John. Euthymius notes that they followed Jesus so that they might know Him more fully and perhaps become his disciples rather than John's. [1]
Some say, because this Evangelist himself was that other. Others, that it was a disciple of no eminence, and that there was no use in telling his name any more than those of the seventy-two, which are omitted." [3] English clergyman Henry Alford also thinks that the other disciple was most likely to have been the evangelist, because
John the Presbyter was an obscure figure of the early Church who is either distinguished from or identified with the Apostle John and/or John of Patmos.He appears in fragments from the church father Papias of Hierapolis as one of the author's sources and is first unequivocally distinguished from the Apostle by Eusebius of Caesarea.
