This gave his words a special influence.

But when Jesus approached the town, it looked as if He wanted to press on to Jerusalem. The townspeople became jealous and instead of asking Him to stay, they withheld all the common courtesy they would usually offer to anyone.\n                                <\/p>\n                                <p>\n                                    James and John were especially angered at this show of disrespect. They said, \"Lord, do You want us to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.biblegateway.com\/verse\/en\/Luke%209%3A54\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">call fire to rain down from heaven <\/a> to destroy them, just as Elijah did?\"  They were referring to the destruction by fire from heaven of the Samaritan soldiers who had been sent by King Ahaziah to capture the prophet Elijah.\n                                <\/p>\n                                <p>\n                                    Jesus was upset by their impetuous behavior and they were shocked when He corrected them: \"Ye know not what manner of spirit ye are of. For the Son of Man has not come to destroy men's lives, but to save them.\"\n                                <\/p>\n\n\n                            <\/div>\n                        <\/div>\n                        <!--chapter-->\n                        <div class=\"chapter\">\n                            <div class=\"part\"><span>Part 5<\/span> of\n                                8                            <\/div>\n                            <div class=\"title\">\n                                <h3>Inner, Inner Circle<\/h3>\n                            <\/div>\n                            <div class=\"text\">\n                                <p>\n                                   John, more than any other disciple, had a special place in Jesus' heart. The Bible refers to him as \"the disciple whom Jesus loved\" (John 21:20). His closeness to Jesus was clear in a number of instances. For instance, John, James and Peter were the only disciples to see Jesus raise the Pharisee Jairus\u2019 daughter back to life. He was also one of the select three disciples who witnessed Jesus' transfiguration shortly before His arrest.\n                                <\/p>\n                                <p>\n                                    John was near Jesus as He was dying on the cross. The closeness between Jesus and John was revealed when Jesus declared to His mother that John was her son, and to John that Mary was his mother. This not only showed Jesus\u2019 unselfish love for His mother, right to His dying breath, but also demonstrated His personal affection for John.\n                                <\/p>\n\n                            <\/div>\n                        <\/div>\n                        <!--chapter-->\n                        <div class=\"chapter\">\n                            <div class=\"part\"><span>Part 6<\/span> of\n                                8                            <\/div>\n                            <div class=\"title\">\n                                <h3>Final Moments<\/h3>\n                            <\/div>\n                            <div class=\"text\">\n                                <p>\n                                    Jesus sent only John and Peter into the city of Jerusalem to make the arrangements for His final Passover meal (the Last Supper). At the meal itself, the \"disciple whom Jesus loved\" (John) sat next to Jesus. It was customary to lie upon couches for meals, and this disciple leaned on Jesus. At the meal, Jesus told John that Judas would betray Him.\n                                <\/p>\n                                <p>\n                                    After Jesus had gone back to heaven and the Holy Spirit had come upon Jesus' followers, known as Pentecost, John and Peter took a leading role in the early Christian movement. John was with Peter when the lame man at Solomon\u2019s Porch in the temple was healed. He was also thrown into prison with Peter. He went with Peter to visit the newly converted believers in Samaria. John stayed in Judea and the surrounding area when the other apostles returned to Jerusalem for the Apostolic Council (about AD 51).\n\n\n                            <\/div>\n                        <\/div>\n                        <!--chapter-->\n                        <div class=\"chapter\">\n                            <div class=\"part\"><span>Part 7<\/span> of\n                                8                            <\/div>\n                            <div class=\"title\">\n                                <h3>A Pot of Trouble<\/h3>\n                            <\/div>\n                            <div class=\"text\">\n                                <p>\n                                    The Jewish leaders hated John for his testimony about Jesus and his faithfulness to Him.

Despite this horrific ordeal, John remained loyal to Jesus, willing to go through anything for His name. John was then pulled out of the pot, unharmed.\n                                <\/p>\n\n                            <\/div>\n                        <\/div>\n                        <!--chapter-->\n                        <div class=\"chapter\">\n                            <div class=\"part\"><span>Part 8<\/span> of\n                                8                            <\/div>\n                            <div class=\"title\">\n                                <h3>On the Isle of Patmos<\/h3>\n                            <\/div>\n                            <div class=\"text\">\n                                <p>\n                                    Emperor Domitian then had John banished to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.heroesbibletrivia.org\/john-at-patmos-reasons-of-exile\/\">Isle of Patmos<\/a>, a barren, rocky island in the Aegean Sea.

While on the Isle of Patmos, he made friends, spread the message of God's love, and brought many to Jesus. Far from being a setback, John's forced relocation to Patmos would become the launch pad for what many would agree is his most influential piece of writing to this day: the Bible book of Revelation. This book would reveal John's best friend Jesus and His plans for the future of humanity.\n                                <\/p>\n                                <p>\n                                    \"Come, Lord Jesus,\" said this biblical hero as he concluded Revelation, reminding the <a href=\"https:\/\/followerofone.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">followers of Jesus<\/a> that He would return to take them to heaven.\n                                <\/p>\n                            <\/div>\n                            <div class=\"more_info\">\n                                <div class=\"more_info_corner_left\"><\/div>\n                                <div class=\"more_info_corner_right\"><\/div>\n                                \n              Now that you know the story of John, test your knowledge about him by playing the game.
