  Comment:

  Because of his fervent devotion and willingness to follow Christ everywhere, the apostle John enjoyed the Saviour's special love. Together with Peter and his brother James he was near the Lord during the most important and solemn moments of His earthly life. Thus, Apostle John saw the Transfiguration of the Lord on Mount Tabor, and was a witness of the Saviour's Gethsemane prayer. And at the Last Supper he was so close to the Lord that he reclined at the breast of Jesus (John 13:23), whence came his name "confidant" (perci - from the Old Slavonic "breast"), which later became a noun when referring to a person especially close to someone.

  John, the only one of all the Apostles, was not afraid of reprisals from the Jews when the Saviour was taken into custody, and together with the Blessed Virgin Mary was at the Cross, on which the Lord was crucified. The apostles scattered, even Peter denied Christ, and only John remained faithful to his beloved Master. For this, the Lord, who dying a terrible, painful death on the Cross, shows His special love and care for John: Jesus, seeing His mother and the disciple standing there, whom He loved, said to His mother, "Woman, behold, your son. Then He said to the disciple, "Behold, your mother" (John 19:26-27).
