யோவான் (Mat 4:21)

பற்றி · About

John, the son of Zebedee, is a prominent figure in the New Testament. He is one of the twelve apostles chosen by Jesus and is often referred to as "the disciple whom Jesus loved" (Jhn.13.23). John worked as a fisherman alongside his brother James and their father Zebedee (Mat.4.21; Mrk.1.19). Throughout the Gospels, John is depicted as a close companion of Jesus. He witnesses significant events, including the Transfiguration (Mat.17.1; Mrk.9.2), and is present during Jesus' agony in the Garden of Gethsemane (Mrk.14.33). He is also noted for his role in the early church, as seen in the Acts of the Apostles, where he actively preached and performed miracles (Act.3.1-4; 4.13). John is traditionally believed to be the author of the Gospel of John, three epistles (1 John, 2 John, 3 John), and the Book of Revelation (Rev.1.1, 4, 9; 22.8). In Revelation, he describes visions of the end times and the New Jerusalem (Rev.21.2). John's contributions to the New Testament and his close relationship with Jesus have established him as a pivotal figure in Christian tradition. His writings emphasize love, faith, and the divinity of Christ.
