John was called by Jesus from the shores of the Sea of Galilee to come and follow him. For 3 years he was one of the inner-band of disciples, witnessing the transfiguration. After the death of Jesus, he was first at the tomb to discover that Jesus had risen. He became leader of the church at Ephesus where he wrote the Gospel of John. In the mines of Patmos, he had a wonderful vision of God.
