LIKE A TALE THAT IS TOLD: JOHN THE APOSTLE'S LIFE AND WRITINGS

LIKE A TALE THAT IS TOLD: JOHN THE APOSTLE'S LIFE AND WRITINGS

 THE APOSTLE JOHN 'S EARLY LIFE REVOLVED AROUND FISHING IN LAKE GALILEE.
Mark's Gospel has Jesus calling John and his brother James directly as followers right out of \their jobs as fishermen. (Mark 1:19)   John was not considered as "learned' (Acts 4:13)  John was a Jew and would have some religious training including their native language Hebrew. Everyday living would have required that he know Greek and some Latin.
