How did john the apostle show that he loved Jesus?
from his heart
When Jesus was on the cross he asked John to take care of his mother Why did he pick John?
John was the "disciple Jesus loved". Perhaps they were partners?
Who was Jesus closest followers?
John called himself, "the disciple whom Jesus loved", yet he did not love him more than us, as he loves everyone, and John knew he was loved, and that is what made him close, where we all may be also if we abide in his love.
Did John lean on the breast of Jesus at the table?
In John's gospel, the "disciple whom Jesus loved" leaned on the breast of Jesus. Late in the second century, Ireneus identified the "disciple whom Jesus loved"as John, one of the twelve, as a result of which the fourth gospel became known as John's Gospel. The scene in which the "disciple whom Jesus loved" leaned on Jesus is not mentioned in any of the earlier gospels, but if Ireneus was correct, then we could say that it was John.
Isn't it also written that Jesus called John and his brother James to come follow me and they left their boat and their father and followed Jesus?
That James was not his brother.
Was the brother of John one of the first disciples of Jesus?
Yes. We are told that John the disciple (not John the baptist!) had a brother called James, who were both sons of a fisherman called Zebedee. Both John and James were disciples of Jesus, and were typical beligerent teenage boys - they were called, in fact, the 'Sons of Thunder'.
Why did Simon Peter follow Jesus?
Simon Peter followed Jesus because Jesus called him to be his disciple, and Peter was drawn to Jesus' teachings and presence. Peter recognized Jesus as the Messiah and experienced firsthand the power and love of Jesus in his life. He was also inspired to follow Jesus by witnessing the miracles and witnessing Jesus' compassion for others.
How was Peter called to Christ?
According to the synoptic gospels (Matthew, Mark and Luke), Jesus was walking by the Sea of Galilee and saw Simon and his brother Andrew fishing. He called Simon Peter and Andrew to follow him. (Mark 1:15-16)According to John's Gospel, Andrew was a disciple of John the Baptist. He left John, to follow Jesus and, on the way, ran to bring Peter and they both followed Jesus (John 1:40-42).
Why didnt Zebedee and the hired men also follow Jesus?
Maybe because he was old, or busy fishing. Maybe Jesus called only James and John because they were younger; and Jesus knew that their father Zebedee had to act in accordance with his lifestyle. I hope that helped.
Who are the apostles of Jesus Christ and why do they follow Him?
