While he was fishing, he met Jesus, and he was at the lake, with Peter and Andrew, when he called the brothers to unite to be his apostles.
John was present at some of the most important events in Jesus' life. He was among those who accompanied him to the upper room in Jerusalem to prepare the Last Supper. He was also the only man left at the foot of the crossHort de les oliveries Next to “The Three Marys”.
