Apostle John was the son of Zebedee and Salome. He was a fisherman by trade, as were his father and brother James,who was also called to be a disciple of Jesus. John is known as 'the disciple that Jesus loved' or the 'other disciple' which are the ways he refers to himself in the Gospel of John. John, along with Peter and James, were especially close to Jesus. John was present at the crucifixion and was entrusted with the care of Mary, Christ's mother. John also saw into the tomb of the risen Christ. After he witnessed the ascension of Christ into Heaven, John preached the Gospel message, and wrote the Gospel and Epistles bearing his name and also the book of Revelation. He is the only disciple believed to not have died a martyr's death.
