ONE OF THE TWELVE - JOHN BROTHER OF JAMES

 

One of the twelve

John the beloved disciple

Son of Zebedee

Son of Salome

Named by Christ

With his brother James

Sons of thunder

A simple fisherman

Turned to a fisher of men

By Jesus of Galilee

One of the four Evangelists

John was the only disciple

To witness the crucifixion

While dying on the cross,

Jesus instructed him

To take care

Of his mother Mary

Witness of the ascension

Who spread the Gospels

Far and wide

John died at Ephesus

Have lived to an old age

The only un-martyred apostle

 

Feast Day December 27th
