BIBLE MEN NAMED JOHN:




JOHN:

SON OF ZEBEDEE, 
DISCIPLE/APOSTLE
& WRITER


MATTHEW 10: 1-4



1  And when He had called His twelve disciples to Him, He gave them power over unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal all kinds of sickness and all kinds of disease. 
2 Now the names of the twelve apostles are these: first, Simon, who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother; James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother; 
3 Philip and Bartholomew; Thomas and Matthew the tax collector; James the son of Alphaeus, and Lebbaeus, whose surname was Thaddaeus; 
4 Simon the Canaanite, and Judas Iscariot, who also betrayed Him.



MARK 10: 35

Then James and John, the sons of Zebedee, came to Him, saying, “Teacher, we want You to do for us whatever we ask.”

LUKE 5: 10

And so also were James and John, the sons of Zebedee, who were partners with Simon. And Jesus said to Simon, “Do not be afraid. From now on you will catch men.

JOHN 1: 6-8 & 35-36

6 There was a man sent from God, whose name was John. 

7 This man came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all through him might believe. 

8 He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light.

 

35 Again, the next day, John stood with two of his disciples. 

36 And looking at Jesus as He walked, he said, “Behold the Lamb of God!”

1 JOHN 1: 5-6

5 This is the message which we have heard from Him and declare to you, that God is light and in Him is no darkness at all. 

6 If we say that we have fellowship with Him, and walk in darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth.

2 JOHN 1: 12-13

12 Having many things to write to you, I did not wish to do so with paper and ink; but I hope to come to you and speak face to face, that our joy may be full.

13 The children of your elect sister greet you. Amen.

3 JOHN 1: 9-10

9 I wrote to the church, but Diotrephes, who loves to have the preeminence among them, does not receive us. 

10 Therefore, if I come, I will call to mind his deeds which he does, prating against us with malicious words. And not content with that, he himself does not receive the brethren, and forbids those who wish to, putting them out of the church.

JOHN, HIGH PRIEST

ACTS 4: 6

6 As well as Annas the high priest, Caiaphas, John, and Alexander, and as many as were of the family of the high priest, were gathered together at Jerusalem.

15 But when they ( HIGH PRIEST) had commanded 

them to go aside out of the council, they conferred among themselves, 

16 saying, “What shall we do to these men? For, indeed, that a notable miracle has been done through them is evident to all who dwell in Jerusalem, and we cannot deny it.

17 But so that it spreads no further among the people, let us severely threaten them, that from now on they speak to no man in this name.”
