Mystery: Was John the Apostle a child (view source)
Revision as of 02:15, October 19, 2009
, 02:15, October 19, 2009The first cite to the Conservative Bible: Jesus responded to one request by John as an adult would respond to a child: "You don't know what your asking. ..." (Mark 10:38 (CPB))
* John wrote the [[Book of Revelation]] while exiled to [[Patmos]] during A.D. 95, during the reign of the Roman Emperor Domition. Yet the [[Jesus's Crucifixion]] was as early as A.D. 29. If John were older than 14 at the time of the Crucifixion, then John would have had an unlikely age of being older than 80 when he wrote the Book of Revelation.

One commentator suggests an age of 12 or 13 for John, and further suggests that the remainder of the [[Apostles]], other than the adult Peter, were teenagers.<ref>http://christianresearchnetwork.info/2008/02/27/jesus-as-rabbi-6-bringing-up-talmidim/</ref>
