'''John the Apostle''' (Saint John in [[Catholic]] and [[Orthodox Church|Orthodox]] traditions), also known as '''John the Evangelist''', '''John the Presbyter''', '''John the Revelator''', and '''John of Patmos''', was a disciple of [[Jesus]] along with his brother [[James the Apostle|James]]. They were the sons of Zebedee, and the pair was humorously nicknamed Boanerges (by Jesus), meaning "sons of thunder." Originally disciples of [[John the Baptist]] along with [[Andrew the Apostle|Andrew]], they turned to follow Jesus to become "fishers of men." John is called the "disciple whom Jesus loved" and is the author of the fourth gospel, [[Gospel of John|The Gospel of John]]. John was with Jesus throughout his ministry, he stood faithfully at the [[Cross]] and raced to the tomb as soon as he heard that Jesus's body was no longer there. John then immediately believed in the [[Resurrection]].
