139:4.1 When he became an [[apostle]], [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_the_Apostle John] was twenty-four years old and was the youngest of the twelve. He was unmarried and lived with his [[parents]] at [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bethsaida Bethsaida]; he was a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fisherman fisherman] and worked with his [[brother]] [[James, the Apostle|James]] in [[partnership]] with [[Andrew, the Apostle|Andrew] and [[Peter, the Apostle|Peter]]. Both before and after becoming an [[apostle]], John functioned as the [[personal]] [[agent]] of [[Jesus]] in dealing with [[the Master]]'s [[family]], and he continued to bear this [[responsibility]] as long as [[Mother Mary|Mary]] the mother of [[Jesus]] lived.

139:4.2 Since [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_the_Apostle John] was the youngest of the twelve and so closely associated with [[Jesus]] in his [[family]] affairs, he was very dear to [[the Master]], but it cannot be truthfully said that he was " the disciple whom Jesus loved. "[http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Gospel_of_John#Chapter_13] You would hardly suspect such a [[magnanimous]] [[personality]] as [[Jesus]] to be [[guilty]] of showing favoritism, of loving one of his [[apostles]] more than the others. The [[fact]] that John was one of the [[three]] personal aides of Jesus lent further color to this mistaken [[idea]], not to mention that John, along with his brother [[James, the Apostle|James]], had known [[Jesus]] longer than the others.
