Was John born before Jesus?

John the Baptist was older than Jesus by at least six months. Elizabeth was six month pregnant with John at the time of Mary's visitation of the Gabriel. John 1:36 - Even Elizabeth your relative is going to have a child in her old age, and she who was said to be unable to conceive is in her sixth month. John the Apostle on the other hand was younger than Jesus. It is generally accepted that John was the youngest disciple and is often portrayed as a beardless brown-haired youth little more than sixteen years of age.


Was John the Apostle related to Jesus?

No. John was the son of Zebedee and Salome, and the younger brother of James. About half way through His 3 years of ministry, Jesus chooses a group of 12 men whom He will develop close discipling relationships. John, his brother James, and Peter enter into a more intimate relationship with Jesus than the other disciples, but they were not related.


How many years of Jesus' life does John's Gospel cover?

Scholars say that the mission of Jesus described in the synoptic gospels could have been accomplished in just a few weeks, and that they certainly seem to assume that his mission was no more than one year. John's Gospel must cover a period of just over three years, because of the four visits to Jerusalem at the time of the Passover.
