	Introduction to 1, 2, 3 John Authorship, Background, Opponents (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Although this account states that the Apostle John lived to the age of one hundred and twenty, it places the composition of the Fourth Gospel before the deaths of Peter and Paul (the latter of whom, it agrees with other traditions, was martyred by Nero).
		In light of this threat, the author of 1 John is writing both to reassure and strengthen the faithful members of that community, and to warn them to continue to resist the proselytizing efforts of the false teachers who have gone out from among them.
		In 2 John the author is writing to a particular congregation to warn the believers there against giving aid or shelter to the false teachers in their ongoing missionary efforts.

	USCCB - NAB - John - Introduction
		John 21 seems to have been added after the gospel was completed; it exhibits a Greek style somewhat different from that of the rest of the work.
		Among them are the opposition to the synagogue of the day and to John the Baptist's followers, who tried to exalt their master at Jesus' expense, the desire to show that Jesus was the Messiah, and the desire to convince Christians that their religious belief and practice must be rooted in Jesus.
		These opponents are even described in John 8:44 as springing from their father the devil, whose conduct they imitate in opposing God by rejecting Jesus, whom God has sent.

		John, too, was arrested with Peter for preaching the gospel of Jesus in the temple, imprisoned, and brought before the Sanhedrin, the ruling council of the Jews.
		John’s gospel presents the Jews in their blind, stubborn refusal to recognize that Jesus is Christ the Son of God and in their mounting hatred of Jesus.

	The Beloved Disciple
		In time the Apostle John was given a life story which had him exiled for his faith on the island of Patmos, where he wrote the Book of Revelation, and after his release living in Ephesus with the Virgin Mary, where he wrote his gospel and where, eventually, they both died and were buried.
		John of Ephesus had worn the golden frontlet and Acts 19.14 says there were sons of a Jewish high priest at Ephesus, exorcising evil spirits in name of Jesus.
		John, the most holy evangelist was the youngest among all the apostles, Him the Lord held (in his arms) when the apostles discussed who among them was the greatest and when He said: He who is not converted as this boy, will not enter the kingdom of Heaven.

	John, the Apostle - International Standard Bible Encyclopedia
		That John was one of the two sons of Zebedee, that he became one of the disciples of Jesus, that at His call he forsook all and followed Jesus, and was thereafter continuously with Jesus to the end, are facts familiar to every reader of the Synoptic Gospels.
		The call was given to John and to his brother James at the Sea of Galilee, while in a boat with their father Zebedee, "mending their nets" (Matthew 4:21,22, and parallel passages).
		Comparison of the latter passage with Mark 15:40,41 identifies the wife of Zebedee, John's mother, with Salome, and it seems a fair inference from John 19:25, though all do not accept it, that Mary, the mother of Jesus, and Salome, the wife of Zebedee, were sisters.

	John of Ephesus, Ecclesiastical History, Part 3 -- Preface
		THE Ecclesiastical History of John, Bishop of Ephesus, was discovered by Dr. Cureton among the Manuscripts obtained by the British Museum from the convent of St. Mary Deipara, in the desert of Scete, and published in the original Syriac at the Oxford University Press in 1853.
		83-90, inform us that John of Ephesus was born at Amid, a city in the north of Mesopotamia, probably about A. 516; and as Syriac was the language spoken by his countrymen, it was employed by him in writing this history for their use.
		As the name of John is borne by many writers of this period, it has been a subject of inquiry whether some one of them may not have been identical with our author.

	September 26: Feast of the Holy And Glorious Apostle And Evangelist John The Theologian
		John and his brother James were helping their father Zebedee with the fishing when the Savior called them to follow Him and become fishers of men.
		John looked upon the Divinity shining in the body of Christ and heard the voice out of the cloud that said: “This is my beloved Son in whom I am well pleased; listen to Him” (Matthew 17:5).
		Then in successive revelations John was shown what will happen at the end of time: the gathering strength of iniquity, the coming of the Antichrist, his warfare against the faithful and his final struggle against Christ who, in the end, will cast him forever into Hell with the Devil and his angels.

	Basilica of St John, St john church
		John had spent his last years in the region around Ephesus and buried in the southern slope of Ayosolug Hill.
		Raised by two steps and covered with marble, the tomb of St John was under the central dome, that was once carried by the four columns at the corners.
		With the invasion of Turks, the chapel was used as a mosque in the 14th century; unfortunately Basilica of Saint John became unusable due to the serious earthquake in the same century.

	John - Bible Study Resource Center
		Within the Gospel of John there is stark conflict between Jesus and the authorities that seems to lead inexorably toward his death and resurrection.
		Indeed, John was the last of the disciples to die and it was many years after the crucifixion that he wrote.

	2nd John: Walking in Truth
		While it is possible that John is writing to a woman and her children, it is generally thought that he is writing to a church in Asia Minor (modern Turkey) and the children are believers who belong to that church.
		Whichever they are, John has noted that their lifestyle or walk makes it evident that they know and love the Lord.
		John says that those who go beyond the teaching of Christ depart from it, and never really had that truth or God in their lives.

		Tradition identifies John the son of Zebedee with "the disciple whom Jesus loved" and the eyewitness "who testifies to these things" in the Gospel of John.
		Scholars today, however, question whether John the son of Zebedee is the author of the Gospel of John according to our modern sense of authorship.
		Indeed, recent excavations beneath the ruins of the early church of St.John at Ephesus have uncovered a grave that may be his.

	John of Ephesus, Ecclesiastical History, Part 3 -- Book 1
		For John Scholasticus was more of a lawyer than a theologian, and a thorough man of the world; and no sooner therefore had the health of Justin failed, and John was free to carry out his plans, than he determined upon crushing the whole Monophysite party.
		And when John of Sirmin heard of him, he sent at once into Asia, and brought him bound and in chains to Constantinople, and imprisoned him in his palace in sore misery: and 15 by bonds and many tortures he forced him to submit to receive the communion at his hands.
		John Grammaticus is the same as John Philoponus, the latter title being given him from his industry, the former from his profession.

		A more likely scenario is that John, heeding Jesus’ warning to flee Jerusalem when it was surrounded by Roman armies (Luke 21:20—21), moved with a community of Palestinian Jewish believers to Ephesus after the Jewish revolt broke out in 66 CE.
		As the leader of the Asian church John was targeted by Roman authorities and exiled to Patmos (Rev. 1:9).
		While on the island John received his apocalyptic vision about the spiritual situation of seven Asian churches as well as about the future of the church and the world (1:10—11, 19).

	INTRODUCTION TO THE GOSPEL OF JOHN
		John the apostle has traditionally been accepted as the author of the fourth gospel since the early Church fathers.
		Internal support for the writing at Ephesus (Asia Minor and gentile surroundings) is seen in the explanations of the feasts and customs of the Jews as if it were for the benefit of those unfamiliar with them, cp.
		An additional purpose of the Gospel of John then, is to provide supplemental information and to expand the reader's view of the incarnate Christ (life and times of Jesus at the First Advent) as compared to the synoptic gospels.

		But when nothing could prevail upon John to yield to the patriarch's will even in words, sentence was finally given that he must quit the city: whereupon he was led out of the prison with his friends, rejoicing and praising God that they had been counted worthy again to suffer for His name's sake.
		Further, there was an account of John the Faster, who succeeded Eutychius as patriarch, and of the gentleness of his character, and great liberality: and, finally, of his endeavours to suppress the heathens.
		John's narrative further explains also the unaccountable disappearance of Mondir, son of Harith, from the Arabic histories, whereas Mondir of Hirah was slain, they say, at Ayn Obagh.

	What Happened to the Two Johns?
		If it could be determined that Zebedee John was martyred, then he was probably not the John, or one of the putative two Johns, who lived in Ephesus.
		Clearly, such James and Zebedee John were those, along with Peter, referred to by Paul in Gal 2,9 as being at the Council of Jerusalem around A.D. 49-50, though Peter and probably Zebedee John, as we shall see, must surely thereafter have gone to Rome.
		At Ephesus there lived under Trajan [A.D. 98-117] a very ancient man, so old that not only his contemporaries, but also their children and grandchildren had died long ago and the great-grandchildren no longer knew who he was.

		Among these were three men of consular rank, named John, Peter, and Eudaemon, who counted their lives in the body as nothing compared with the spiritual life by a true faith in Christ; and firmly refused therefore to hold communion with those who divided Him.
		As no attempt is made by John of Ephesus to arrange his Narratives in chronological order, I imagine that it was subsequently to the banishment of the four bishops, that the patriarch had convinced Stephan of the soundness of the council of Chalcedon, by the extraordinary arguments recorded in c.
		The opinion of Baronius concerning John is by no means a favourable one: for speaking of Eutychius's deposition, he says, 'his successor was John Scholasticus, apocrisiarius of the church of Antioch, a man plainly the slave of glory, and a trafficker in holy things, and who purchased his high rank by flattery.'

	Ephesus Pictures
		The Apostle John, at Jesus' direction, addressed the last book of the Bible to the seven churches of Asia Minor (around 95 A.D.), the first of which was Ephesus.
		Apparently those in Ephesus did not repent, as the town was moved 4-5 miles away from the sea (it was originally an important port city) by silt from a local river.
