1 .)
One who ,
with Annas and Caiaphas ,
sat in judgment on the apostles Peter and John (
Acts 4 :
6 ).
He was of the kindred of the high priest ;
otherwise unknown .
(
2 .)
The Hebrew name of Mark (
q .
v .).
He is designated by this name in the acts of the Apostles (
12 :
12 ,
25 ;
13 :
5 ,
13 ;
15 :
37 ).
(
3 .)
THE APOSTLE ,
brother of James the "
Greater " (
Matt .
4 :
21 ;
10 :
2 ;
Mark 1 :
19 ;
3 :
17 ;
10 :
35 ).
He was one ,
probably the younger ,
of the sons of Zebedee (
Matt .
4 :
21 )
and Salome (
Matt .
27 :
56 ;
comp .
Mark 15 :
40 ),
and was born at Bethsaida .
His father was apparently a man of some wealth (
comp .
Mark 1 :
20 ;
Luke 5 :
3 ;
John 19 :
27 ).
He was doubtless trained in all that constituted the ordinary education of Jewish youth .
When he grew up he followed the occupation of a fisherman on the Lake of Galilee .
When John the Baptist began his ministry in the wilderness of Judea ,
John ,
with many others ,
gathered round him ,
and was deeply influenced by his teaching .
There he heard the announcement , "
Behold the Lamb of God ,"
and forthwith ,
on the invitation of Jesus ,
became a disciple and ranked among his followers (
John 1 :
36 ,
37 )
for a time .
He and his brother then returned to their former avocation ,
for how long is uncertain .
Jesus again called them (
Matt .
4 :
21 ;
Luke 5 :
1 -
11 ),
and now they left all and permanently attached themselves to the company of his disciples .
He became one of the innermost circle (
Mark 5 :
37 ;
Matt .
17 :
1 ;
26 :
37 ;
Mark 13 :
3 ).
He was the disciple whom Jesus loved .
In zeal and intensity of character he was a "
Boanerges " (
Mark 3 :
17 ).
This spirit once and again broke out (
Matt .
20 :
20 -
24 ;
Mark 10 :
35 -
41 ;
Luke 9 :
49 ,
54 ).
At the betrayal he and Peter follow Christ afar off ,
while the others betake themselves to hasty flight (
John 18 :
15 ).
At the trial he follows Christ into the council chamber ,
and thence to the praetorium (
18 :
16 ,
19 ,
28 )
and to the place of crucifixion (
19 :
26 ,
27 ).
To him and Peter ,
Mary first conveys tidings of the resurrection (
20 :
2 ),
and they are the first to go and see what her strange words mean .
After the resurrection he and Peter again return to the Sea of Galilee ,
where the Lord reveals himself to them (
21 :
1 ,
7 ).
We find Peter and John frequently after this together (
Acts 3 :
1 ;
4 :
13 ).
John remained apparently in Jerusalem as the leader of the church there (
Acts 15 :
6 ;
Gal .
2 :
9 ).
His subsequent history is unrecorded .
He was not there ,
however ,
at the time of Paul '
s last visit (
Acts 21 :
15 -
40 ).
He appears to have retired to Ephesus ,
but at what time is unknown .
The seven churches of Asia were the objects of his special care (
Rev .
1 :
11 ).
He suffered under persecution ,
and was banished to Patmos (
1 :
9 );
whence he again returned to Ephesus ,
where he died ,
probably about A .
D .
98 ,
having outlived all or nearly all the friends and companions even of his maturer years .
There are many interesting traditions regarding John during his residence at Ephesus ,
but these cannot claim the character of historical truth .
