John - The Disciple Whom Jesus Loved

John the apostle was a fisherman before he followed Jesus as his disciple. The gospel of John, his three letters, and the only prophecy book of the NT, Revelation, were the last books of the Bible written. John's gospel does not start with the birth of Jesus on this earth, but it starts explaining that Jesus was before the creation, and that Jesus was the Creator. John only told of seven miracles or "signs," because they pointed to Christ. He also wrote the "I AM" sayings of Jesus which showed that Jesus was not just the Son of God, but God Himself in the flesh. When Jesus called John, he and his brother, immediately left their father's business and followed Jesus. John was one of the three inner circle of Jesus, with Peter and James, and Paul called John, Peter and James as pillars of the church. Plus, at Jesus' death, it was John who was given the responsibility of taking care of Mary, Jesus' mother. John chose to describe himself, "the disciple whom Jesus loved."
