Le saint, glorieux et illustre '''Apôtre et Évangéliste Jean''' est aussi connu comme '''Jean le Théologien'''. Il a été un des douze [[Apôtres]] et l'auteur de plusieurs écrits du [[Nouveau Testament]]: un [[Évangile selon saint Jean|évangile qui porte son nom]], trois lettres - [[I Jean]], [[II Jean]], and [[III Jean]] - et du [[Livre de l'Apocalypse]]. Il est commemoré le [[8 mai]] (Synaxe du St Apôtre et Évangéliste Jean le Théologien), avec les Douze, le [[30 juin]], et le [[26 septembre]] (fête de sa dormition).

St. John was the son of [[Salome]] the [[myrrh-bearer]] and [[Zebedée]], a fisherman. His brother was St. [[Apostle James (son of Zebedee)|James]], another apostle.

In his own Gospel account, he refers to himself as "the disciple whom [[Jesus]] loved" rather than use his name. He was the youngest of the twelve apostles, and especially close to the Lord. This closeness is often portrayed in [[icon]]s of the [[Last Supper icon|mystical supper]], where St. John leans on Jesus.

He was present for the [[Transfiguration]] of Christ with [[Apostle Peter|Peter]] and his brother James.

St. John was exiled to the island of Patmos by Emperor Domitian around 90-95 A.D., and it was there that he received and wrote the Book of Revelation.

"Account of the [[miracle]] that occurred at his grave:
When over 100 years old, St. John took seven [[disciple]]s outside of Ephesus and had them dig a grave in the shape of a cross. St. John then went into the grave, and the disciples buried him there, alive. Later on, when his grave was opened, St. John's body was not there. 'On May 8 of each year, dust rises up from his grave, by which the sick are healed of various diseases.'

==Hymnes==
[[Tropaire]], ton 2 (26 septembre)
:Apôtre bien-aimé du Christ notre Dieu,
:hâte-toi de délivrer un peuple sans défense.
:Celui qui t'a permis de t'incliner sur sa poitrine te permettra
:de t'incliner vers lui pour plaider en notre faveur.
:Demande-lui de dissiper les ténèbres du paganisme des nations;
:qu'il nous accorde la paix et la grâce du salut!

[[Kondakion]] (Ton 2)
:Tes hauts faits, Disciple vierge, qui en fera le récit?
:Tu répands les miracles, en effet,
:comme une source tu fais jaillir les guérisons
:et pour nos âmes tu intercèdes auprès du Christ, en ami.

[[Ikos]]
:Connaître la hauteur des cieux et sonder la profondeur de la mer
:est chose audacieuse, dépassant nos moyens;
:pas plus que de compter les étoiles ou le sable du littoral
:nous ne pouvons conter les merveilles de saint Jean:
:de tant de couronnes l'a ceint le Christ, qu'il aimait
:et sur la poitrine duquel il se pencha
:au cours du mystique repas
:à la table du Seigneur, tout près du Christ, en ami.
