St. John the Apostle

[Reader Antonius]

Hi y'all.

I am still discerning my Confirmation name, but I am heavily leaning towards taking the name of "John" after St. John the Beloved.

Anyway I am trying to find some deep info about the life of St. John the Apostle (aka John the Divine, John the Evangelist, John the Beloved Disciple).

I am looking for His life (if possible) from childhood to his final days (and maybe even his work as an intercessor through the age of the Church).

I am hoping perhaps some of my Christian (RC, EOC, EO, OO, or Prot.) brothers and sisters could help me find some "biographical" resources on St. John.

I would appreciate it.

I do not think we have a lot of info on his early life

I don't think so either, but hey, you never know!

His early life guys? of the 12 original only I believe 3 were above 20 during Christ ministry and it is known that John was the youngest of them most of the others being likely 17-19 as mentioned in Acts? something about having to pay drachma and i recall that of these only 3 or 4 had to...I'll find the exact verse but it is likely John the beloved was even younger 15 ish? I'll pull my info and get back top you.
