Son of Zebedee, fisherman from Lake Tiberias and brother of Saint James the Greater, Saint John was first a disciple of Saint John the Baptist. It was John the Baptist who led him to Jesus and stood aside to let him follow Christ. During the apostolic years of the life of Jesus, he lived with him a privileged intimacy as “beloved disciple”. At the Last Supper, he rested on the breast of his master there and was the only apostle to be present at the foot of the cross, where he received from Christ the Virgin Mary as Mother. Tradition attributes to him the book of Revelation, three canonical epistles and the Fourth Gospel. His tomb is in Ephesus.
