John the Priest
Priest of the Temple. Having become leprous at Ben Himmon, he is healed by Jesus.[1]
Converted, he leaves the Temple to become a disciple. He then receives Jerusalem as his field of apostolate and is active in this Mission: it is he who brings to Jesus Jonathan the old priest, his master Zacharias the Levite, and Matan his colleague. He is also mentioned as one of the actors in the conversion of the village of Nob, near Jerusalem.[2]
Character and appearance
Probably a man in the prime of life.[3]
Apostolic journey
Because of his past status as a priest of the Temple, he is not chosen to be one of the seventy-two Disciples sent on Mission, even though he has all the qualities for it.
He is among the Disciples who remained faithful after the great schism that followed the discourse on the "bread of life".[4]
His name
Yohanân (Greek Iôannês) "the Eternal has shown Grace, has been favorable".
