JOHN THE APOSTLE
Synaxarion for Memorials without a Proper Office:


John the Apostle

John was born in Bethsaida on the Sea of Galilee. He was the brother of the apostle James and the son of Zebedee and Salome. He earned his living as a fisherman. At first he was a disciple of John the Baptizer, later he became a follower of Jesus.  After the death of the other apostles, John lived at Ephesus  where he died at an advanced age. The fourth Gospel, three epistles and the Book of Revelation were attributed to John, but most if not all scholars today no longer believe this to be the case.

May the prayers of John the Apostle be with us. Amen.
