John 13:35
By this
everyone
will know
that you
are my
disciples,
if you
have love
for one
another.
John alone among the apostles is thought not to have died a martyr,'s death, but to have lived to extreme old age, which is its own kind of martyrdom. He and his brother James,, sons of Zebedee ,along with Peter, formed Jesus' inner circle. John and James, were so hotheaded that Jesus nicknamed them Boanerges, ”the sons of thunder.” Think of the road that took him from there to the soaring love and even gentleness revealed in this passage. Not an easy journey.
