In discussing this with my pastor, she stated that the John that wrote 1 JOhn was the half brother of Jesus, and that John was also the brother of James. I now have two possible answers, and is most confusing. Is there further reading that could elaborate more? | ||||||

phylbee, You can look at the following for some more information. http://eastonsbibledictionary.com/ Simply look up “John” when you get to the site. The below is a preview of what you will read there. I for one haven’t heard that John was Jesus’ half brother and I don’t know that Scripture informs us of that either. The Bible tells us John the disciple was the son of Zebedee , as also pointed out by Easton below. There is indication that Salome was his mother. You can compare the verses mentioned. Matthew 4:2:1 And going on from thence, he saw other two brethren, James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, in a ship with Zebedee their father, mending their nets; and he called them. Matthew 27:56: Among which was Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James and Joses, and the mother of Zebedees children. Mark 15:40: There were also women looking on afar off: among whom was Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James the less and of Joses, and Salome; “(3.) THE APOSTLE, brother of James the "Greater" (Matthew 4:21; 10:2; Mark 1:19; 3:17; 10:35). He was one, probably the younger, of the sons of Zebedee (Matthew 4:21) and Salome (Matthew 27:56; Comp. Mark 15:40), and was born at Bethsaida. John, First Epistle of The fourth of the catholic or "general" epistles. It was evidently written by John the evangelist, and probably also at Ephesus, and when the writer was in advanced age. John, Gospel of The genuineness of this Gospel, i.e., the fact that the apostle John was its author, is beyond all reasonable doubt. In recent times, from about 1820, many attempts have been made to impugn its genuineness, but without success. It was probably written at Ephesus, which, after the destruction of Jerusalem (A.D. 70), became the centre of Christian life and activity in the East, about A.D. 90.” – Easton’s Bible Dictionary Stand in His grace, WOS |
