Ityala lemifanekiso https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Ifayile:St_John_the_Apostle_by_Jacques_Bellange.jpg (UJacques Bellange (c. 1575-1616) [Indawo yoluntu]) Ngaphambili Okulandelayo Izalathiso zaphambi kwexesha UJohn umpostile wazalwa malunga ne-6 CE eBhetesayida, eGalili, kubukhosi baseRoma, kuZebhedi, umlobi weentlanzi, kunye noSalome, ongudade boMariya, unina kaYesu, ngokwesiko elithile. Yena nomntakwabo uYakobi babeloba kuLwandle lwaseGalili kunye noyise uZebhedi. Ngokwe-John 1: 35-39, wayengomnye wabafundi bakaYohane uMbhaptizi owayelandela uYesu kwaye wachitha usuku naye emva kokuva umBhaptizi ebiza uYesu ngokuba 'yiMvana kaThixo'. Ekunye noPetros, uAndreya, kunye nomntakwabo uYakobi, walandela uYesu emva kokuba ebabizile. Yena nomntakwabo babebizwa njengo 'Boanerges', okanye 'oonyana beendudumo', nguYesu, mhlawumbi ngenxa yenzondelelo nokunganyamezelani. Ezi mpawu ziyabonakala kwibali leendaba ezilungileyo apho babefuna ukubiza umlilo wasezulwini kwidolophu yamaSamariya engenakuhlala, apho babekhalinyelwa nguYesu. Qhubeka nokuFunda apha ngezantsi Umfundi Othandekayo UJohn uMpostile ngokwesiko uchongwa 'njengoMfundi Othandekayo' okanye 'umfundi owayethandwa nguYesu' esekwe ekusebenziseni amabinzana kahlanu 'kwiVangeli kaYohane', awayebhala ngayo. Kwakuyinto eqhelekileyo ukuba ababhali ngelo xesha babhale umntu wesithathu ukuze bazifihle ukuba bangobani. UPeter, uYakobi noYohane yayingabafundi abathathu abasondele kakhulu kuYesu kwaye yayingamangqina okuvuswa kweNtombi kaYayiro. Babengabo kuphela amangqina okuguquluka kukaYesu kwincopho yentaba kwaye babona ubungqina obukhulu eGetsemane ngokusondele ngakumbi kunabanye abapostile. YayinguYohane owaxela kuYesu ukuba abafundi 'balela' umntu ongengomfundi ukuba akhuphe iidemon ngegama likaYesu. UJohn noPeter yayingabafundi ababini ababethunyelwe nguYesu esixekweni ukuya kwenza amalungiselelo epasika yokugqibela eyaziwa ngokuba 'sisidlo sangokuhlwa sokugqibela'. Wahlala ecaleni kukaYesu 'kwiSidlo Sangokuhlwa Sokugqibela', ethembele kuye, kwaye yayinguye oza kumbuza ukuba ngubani oza kumngcatsha. Ekunye noPetros, waphinda walandela uYesu wangena kwibhotwe lombingeleli omkhulu emva kokubanjwa kwakhe. Wayenguye yedwa umfundi owayehlala kufuphi noYesu enyaweni yomnqamlezo eKalvari ecaleni kwabathwali bemore kunye nabanye abafazi. Kwakhona uYesu wamnika imbopheleleko yokunyamekela unina uMariya. Kunye noPeter, wenza igalelo elibonakalayo ekwakheni nasekusebenzeni kwamabandla okuqala, kunye noPeter noJames olilungisa, kwathiwa 'yintsika' yebandla lase Yerusalem kumaGalati 2. Yena noPeter baphilisa indoda esisiqhwala kwasekuzalweni kwayo. Kwivaranda kaSolomon eTempileni, baphoswa entolongweni kunye, kwaye bandwendwela amakholwa amatsha eSamariya. Kamva uBomi kunye nokufa Ngelixa kungaziwa ukuba uYohane umpostile wahlala ixesha elingakanani kwaYuda, yena nabanye abafundi bachithachitheka kumaphondo oBukhosi baseRoma xa uHerode Agripa waqala ukutshutshisa amaKristu. Wamkhathalela unina kaYesu de kwenyuka u-Mary, emva koko waya e-Efese apho wabhala khona iincwadi zakhe ezintathu. Ngokutsho kombhali ongumKristu uTertullian, ngenxa yokushumayela ivangeli, abasemagunyeni baseRoma bamgxothela kwisiqithi saseGrisi iPatmos emva kokumphosa kwioyile ebilayo apho wasinda khona engonzakalanga. Isityhilelo wasifumana kuKristu ePatmos, apho wabhala khona 'iNcwadi yeSityhilelo'. Ekugqibeleni wabuyela e-Efese, apho wasweleka ngenxa yokwaluphala emva kwexesha lika-98 C.E., kwaye wangcwatyelwa eSelçuk yanamhlanje, eTurkey, apho ingcwaba lakhe likhona. Ngelixa ubhishophu wenkulungwane yesibini uPapias waseHierapolis wayesithi ubulewe ngamaJuda, abaninzi bayabuthandabuza ubunyani bebango, bambi besithi nguYohane uMbhaptizi. Inqaku UJohn uMpostile uhlala ebonakaliswa njengendoda esele indala enentshebe emhlophe okanye engwevu kubugcisa baseByzantine okanye njengolutsha olungenazo iindevu kubugcisa be-Medieval Western Europe. Kwimizobo yamaxesha aphakathi, imifanekiso eqingqiweyo kunye noncwadi, ukwakuthiwa uboniswa njengomntu oqhelekileyo okanye obhinqileyo.
