John The Apostle
was the son of Zebedee, a fisherman on the Lake of Galilee, and of Salome, and brother of
James, also an apostle. Peter and James and John come within the innermost circle of their Lord’s
friends; but to John belongs the distinction of being the disciple whom Jesus loved. He hardly
sustains the popular notion, fostered by the received types of Christian art, of a nature gentle,
yielding, feminine. The name Boanerges, (Mark 3:17) implies a vehemence, zeal, intensity, which
gave to those who had it the might of sons of thunder. [James] The three are with our Lord when
none else are, in the chamber of death, (Mark 5:37) in the glory of the transfiguration, (Matthew
17:1) when he forewarns them of the destruction of the holy city, (Mark 13:3) in the agony of
Gethsemane. When the betrayal is accomplished, Peter and John follow afar off. (John 18:15) The
personal acquaintance which exited between John and Caiaphas enables him to gain access to the
council chamber, praetorium of the Roman procurator. (John 18:16,19,28) Thence he follows to
the place of crucifixion, and the Teacher leaves to him the duty of becoming a son to the mother
