John was a fisherman, the son of Zebedee and younger brother of James, and part of Jesus's innermost circle along with Peter and James, present at moments the other disciples weren't, including the transfiguration and Gethsemane. Tradition identifies him as the disciple whom Jesus loved in the fourth Gospel, and it was John whom Jesus entrusted with the care of his mother Mary from the cross. He went on to become a leading figure in the Jerusalem church, and early Christian tradition credits him with writing the Gospel of John, three New Testament letters, and the book of Revelation while exiled on the island of Patmos.
