Apostle John
Apostle John was one of the twelve original apostles of Jesus. Called with his brother, James, while mending their nets, they “Left the boat and their father, and followed Him”. John followed the Lord faithfully, choosing to obey God rather than the will of men.(Acts 4:19-20)
John is famous for leaning against Jesus at the last supper, witnessed the transfiguration of Jesus on the mountain, and was among the three apostles to accompany Jesus when He prayed in gethsemane. John was also there at the foot of the cross with Jesus’ mother, Mary, as Jesus died.
John is know for miraculously surviving martyrdom: He was boiled in oil in a Roman colosseum, but suffered no harm. He was afterward exiled to the isle of Patmos. During his exile to Patmos, John received the Revelation of Jesus Christ. According to church tradition, John was the only apostle to die a natural death, sometime after AD 98.
