6 Things You Didn't Know About John the Apostle 

Boiled in oil????!!!

@@thefirstMrsLankton yup

Gene, it is so helpful to read the early Christian writings which allow us to learn so much about the lives of the Apostles and the struggles (and victories!) of the Church as it grew from these 12 "weak but empowered" men and its GROWTH! I have studied the scriptures in Aramaic (not as an academic might but out of interest for the initial language (PLEASE SEE the Aramaic original commentary regarding the words "camel" and "rope". It is absolutely fascinating!!! I twill not weaken your love and confidence in scripture but will open an entirely new perception of the very first accounts of the life of Christ! Best!

@@TheSean7564 Who did that to him? My Lord how he must have suffered. I have read there is some doubt as to whether John who wrote Revelations was John the beloved disciple. I wonder if those studies are still floating about?

Tertullian alleged this, There is nothing in the Bible to support it.

That's so wonderful, Adriana! Praise God!

Isn't that just a *wonderful* experience when the Spirit guides you to real life peace. Well done Adriana for trusting in Christ Jesus; a worthy lifestyle choice indeed.

So what things has he whispered to you about your rage? My daughter is amazing but she rages too. I want to help her.

Amen🙌

Wish I could say the same

John, a mercy and grace from God.

That’s wonderful!

A person can have more than one cousin. Also a person can have more than one cousin with the same name. Sometimes it is a common family name.

Amen 🙏

@@BrandonRobbinsMinistry it's not greek

loving your portrayal of John.. well, everybody's doing great actually! good job The Chosen team!.. God bless

Hi just loving The Chosen. Thank you for all your hard work.

Love your work on Chosen. I read the gospel all my life. But you and the cast made the apostles come alive. Great job.

Great job portraying John. And yes, loved the Easter Egg in S2E1!

I just want to say that I think you did an astonishing job at portraying what John is like or could have been like! Also I hope you are happy and healthy, and accept the free gift of salivation! But it’s your choice. Anyways I think your really talented in what you do, so keep on using your talent and gift for good! Lots of love 🙃🙂:)

i know a few things about DNA and jesus family for now i can't rembmer what age jesus is when he died on the cross jesus mum mary was a vergina when she mete/fall in with joseph and jesus is born if john apostle is jesus he would be from jesus's father's side john the baptist is jesus cusin rom his mum's side 6 months older then jesus got killed by someone who cut his head off at age 30/31

❤

John did not actually write the gospel of John. It's well known in biblical scholarship that all the gospels are actually anonymous.

@@larrypicard8802 Whomever, it's still beautiful.

​@@larrypicard8802 It certainly it seem to me, especially the Gospel of John, being written in a totally different genre and topic. I tend to believe that was not written by the Apostle John, but by someone from the Johannine school stemming from the experiences and revelations of "The disciple that Jesus loved" .❤ See my comment above.

True

Second Cousin x (his mother, Elizabeth was Mary’s Cousin)

@SeanTheBaptist Lol true.

All is well in my soul .... It’s Apostle John that was being discussed here and not John the Baptist who is Jesus’ cousin.

Apparently Jesus mother and Salome were sisters were related. I thought he meant John the Baptist too but no. Mary and Salome were said to be sisters or of some way related. She even asked Jesus if John and James could sit on his right side in Heaven.

🙋‍♀️ Just to say you have the 2 John’s mixed up John the Baptist is Jesus Cousin John the disciple is a different person and brother to James ... who both were chosen to be a Jesus follower Elizabeth and Mary were cousins thats why John the Baptist was Jesus cousin

Great point. Check out books about H.I.M by Elizabeth Claire Prophet. There's some things in there that will touch you.

That’s beautiful

@violet's place I don't know why anyone would feel that way. It makes sense that a historian would write about the life of the apostles. I read the life/crucifixion account by the historian Josephias. He didn't write much other than his age, 33 and that he'd seemingly done only good deeds. Thank you ❤️

@violet's place I know they had disciples to carry on the work of the church. Thank you for pointing that out. I'm sure that's been brought up before but not much taught about them in church. We all should study outside of church.

Jesus told Peter that John would die an old man. "If I want him to remain until I come [again], what is that to you? You follow me!"

@@sherryjohnson449 Dear Sherry with respect no he did not. Peter told the Disciple Jesus Loved that and that Disciple was Lazarus the one Jesus resurrected. Now the Question is this? Who was that Disciple and was he the Apostle John Zebedee. When you find the answer to the Question you will know who the authors of the Revelation are. And it is not John Zebedee. Grace to you my Sister.

No mention of wife or children?

@@jamessikes6700 Peter was speaking to the Lord of John , not Lazarus - Lazarus was not present ; and Jesus told Peter it wasn't any of Peters business as to Johns future . And Sherry was correct , John was the only one of the disciples to live to old age ; the rest of the disciples were dead by the late 70's .

@@jamessikes6700 really , authors to Revelation , when there is only one writer mentioned and that being : John son of Zebedee , the Beloved Disciple John the Elder and , Head of the 7 congregations of Asia .

I thank God for finding Calvary Chapel. And with the power of the Holy Spirit, I have become a deeper Bible reader and sturdier. I thank God for Bob Davis, whom I follow at North Country Chapel in Idaho.

Rosemary ... for your inspection... Isaiah, chapter 7, verse 14, and Isaiah, chapter 9, verse 6... our Messiah. Peace

He is the SON of God ....thereby Jesus is what his Father is ...God ...the son of the Most High. Search the scriptures and you will see hundreds of verses that say the Father gave Jesus all that he has...that Jesus inherits all from his Father ...that the Father raised his son from the grave. Literally hundreds of verses make it so very clear that Jesus, before his birth on earth, was the true son of his Father. For God so loved the world that he SENT his only begotten son into the world. I pray for the blessing of this simple truth that modern theology has made us forget. One last verse to study. John 17:3...this is life eternal, that they might know Thee, the ONLY true God , and Jesus Christ whom thou hast sent. The Father is the only true, self existing God, but praise to him he brought forth a son before the beginning of creation that should sin emerge, there would be a solution. Study John chapters 14-17 and you will begin to see what few understand. Blessings

@@deni2622 You say he brought forth a son...So he created Jesus, like he created the first Adam????? Nonsense. He is God the eternal preexistent one, who was before all things and by whom all things exist. The doctrine of the trionity has corrupted your view of exactly who God is. Jesus said who he was per thee video... the one and only "I AM". that one who spoke with Moses. The son of God never existed before he was born of a woman.

@@dsheppard8492actually, I am absolutely not Trinitarian. I came out of the trinitarian theology after reading scriptures and believing the Word for what it says. There is one almighty God, self-existent and eternal. Before creation of anything He brought forth FROM HIMSELF, one who was just like him....a son. NOT created, but born of. Adam is created, angels are created, but Jesus was brought forth uniquely...he is the only BEGOTTEN son of the Father . Do we see anything in scripture where life comes forth of a male?? Yes, from Adams rib God brought forth Eve who was flesh of his flesh. Not a new creation, but life from life. Could God have brought forth from himself life?? Of course, and according to his own testimony this is what he did. God then much later sent forth his son into the world....for God so loved the world that he SENT his only begotten son into the world . The Old Testament shows us shadows of this truth but the New Testament shines great light on it. There are two...the Father and the Son....and as stated clearly in John 14 since the day of Pentecost they have sent forth their own spirits, which are holy because they are holy, to live in the hearts of all whom believe. Study John 14...while Christ lived on earth the spirit of his father dwelt within him and it was the Father who did the works of the miracles through Jesus. After Jesus makes this concept clear he goes on to tell the disciples that after he goes he will come again....I will not leave you comfortless, I will come to you. .....and a few verses later, if you love me and keep my commandments than I will come with my Father and will will abide in you.

@@deni2622 You are confused. t/here is one God who revealed himself to the world as a HUMAN. this human persona he called himself a son to conceal his true identity as the one single God. Were he to say, while clothed in flesh, " I am" God, this would have destroyed what he sought to accomplish. His death at the hands of the ANTICHRISTS. They perform the abomination that leaves them desolate. If he proclaimed himself the living god he would have to bring fire down from heaven to destroy the crazed mobs that would seek his life, and that of his followers. He needed to protect them for when he was gone. To reveal himself as God would thwart the concept of believing by faith and not sight. As we see he only revealed himself to his disciples after the resurrection, and we must all believe by faith without seeing. As Paul states,,, he is the one and only lord from heaven. The one Lord of the first command. Two of three it makes no difference, It still misses the point of the one God, who is one person, one entity, one being, who is the only savior as written in Isaiah. Those who teach oneness have it right. You have to be careful when reading the King James version, which I prefer, but keeping in mind that the hired group of scholars were all certainly Trinitarian. they have slanted many of the small word to their doctrinal preference. Go to Strongs and you will see many inconsistencies in translation. one example is the use of the word "the". In greek there is no definitive article before titles aor names. This is tru in many languages. Also there is no punctuation or capitalization. So I give you,,, "Grace and peace be unto you from God our father and Lord -Jesus Christ." "from" in italics!!!! Show us the father plainly and it suffices us,,,,,

What happens in the very first verses in the Bible? There are three. God who Speaks (hence the word) and the Spirit hovering over the deep bringing everything into being. All act together and cannot be separated. Words are a medium to convey intention and the Spirit gives understanding which leads to action. God's Words are later written down in the Torah given from God by the Spirit to Moses at Sinai. Every time God speaks there are words involved either audible or as God plants them in minds that are attuned to Him written down, but we must have His Spirit to understand and act on them. How can we have two Spirits from one God? That just confuses the issue and would make God a liar sometimes and hence undependable. Throughout the OT all men choose to ignore the Words of God, to follow their own ideas which gets them into serious trouble. The Pharisees added so many of their own words that God's intention was totally lost. God has prepared us by His Words of prophecy for His coming as a Man, this time to live out and show us by example what His intention was. In doing so we get to see graphically our rebellion and the outcome of our thinking and actions. We just did what we always do since Adam for as he disobeyed we can do no other. We question Him, then reject Him, give him false worship, corrupt His teaching so that He is unrecognisable and then put him to death. We may think that we have done away with the Creator. He simply won't stay dead. Though He may be dead to us through unbelief, it will be us who will ultimately pay the full price in our eternal death at judgement if we have not had faith that Jesus died in our place to win our desire to obey God. He died to save us and as a Man lives again to restore us by faith back to the Father's first intention in Eden. We see there a God who makes everything good and sees man as very good and the pinnacle of His creation, where there is a loving relationship and interdependence on God as a loving Father. The same unity that we see in the Triune God that cannot exist apart from each other. We now listen and follow God's Word given in written form and by example as the Man Jesus the Christ. He now lives and The Spirit is our help. The Spirit is sent to show us God's Word in Jesus life, death and resurrection. As in the book of Jonah when God's word comes to him the second time God's message has not changed. So simple a child can understand without complex theologies that just confuse and muddy the waters as satan did at the beginning. At the end of the day it is not our view of God that will save us but only Jesus' finished work on the cross. So who are we going to listen to.

Hey vihan😁

Thank you! I'm so glad you're learning from it.

Thank you, Kathy!

I love when accidents like that happen! I'm so glad it's blessing you!

Glad you enjoyed it!

I'm so glad! Thank you, Sheridan!

John the Baptist might have been Jesus' cousin

Thank you so much, Madhurima. I pray that it does help you grow closer to God :-)

@@BrandonRobbinsMinistry Amen🙏

That's great! I'm so glad that they're helpful!

One thing though, I have always thought that John and James were brothers. So thank you for sharing such profound findings, God bless you.

He is ""Only One... and good."" NO Trinity. ""I AM , THAT I AM "" AMEN AND GLORY BE THY GOD JESUS OUR LORD AND SAVIOR !! 🙏😌

Thanks for watching! :-) Aloha!
