John (Son of Zebedee) the Apostle

And going on from there he saw two other brothers, James the son of Zebedee and John his brother, in the boat with Zebedee their father, mending their nets, and he called them. Immediately they left the boat and their father and followed him. -Matthew 4:21-22

He was a fisherman with his brother James (sons of Zebedee), also an apostle, and the brothers Peter (Simon) and Andrew. He took Mary, the mother of Jesus, as his adopted mother (took care of her) (John 19:26-27).  Wrote the Gospel of John, the three letters of John and Revelation around AD 70, while exiled on the island of Patmos. Tradition has it that he preached in Jerusalem, and later was the bishop of Ephesus, in western Turkey, where he died a natural death around AD 100.
