Strong's Lexicon Ióannés: John Original Word: Ἰωάννης Part of Speech: Noun, Masculine Transliteration: Ióannés Pronunciation: yo-AN-nace Phonetic Spelling: (ee-o-an'-nace) Definition: John Meaning: John: the Baptist, the apostle, a member of the Sanhedrin, or John Mark. Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew name יוֹחָנָן (Yochanan), meaning "Yahweh is gracious." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: H3110 (יוֹחָנָן, Yochanan) Usage: The name Ióannés is used in the New Testament to refer to several individuals, most notably John the Baptist and John the Apostle. John the Baptist is known for his role in preparing the way for Jesus Christ, calling people to repentance, and baptizing Jesus. John the Apostle, one of the twelve disciples, is traditionally credited with writing the Gospel of John, three epistles, and the Book of Revelation. Cultural and Historical Background: In the first-century Jewish context, the name John was common and carried significant religious connotations, reflecting a divine favor or grace. John the Baptist emerged as a prophetic figure, reminiscent of Old Testament prophets, calling for repentance and heralding the coming of the Messiah. John the Apostle, a fisherman by trade, became a pivotal figure in the early Christian church, known for his close relationship with Jesus and his theological contributions.

John the Baptist, the son of Zacharias the priest and Elisabeth, the forerunner of Christ. By order of Herod Antipas he was cast into prison and afterward bebeaded: Matthew 3:1; Matthew 14:3, and often in the historical books of the N. T.; Josephus, Antiquities 18, 5, 2 (B. D. American edition, under the word ). 2.

He is that disciple who (without mention by name) is spoken of in the Fourth Gospel as especially dear to Jesus (John 13:23; John 19:26; John 21:7, 20), and according to the traditional opinion is the author of the Apocalypse, Revelation 1:1, 4, 9; Revelation 21:2 Rec.; . In the latter part of his life he had charge of the churches in Asia Minor, and died there at a very advanced age. That be never came into Asia Minor, but died in Palestine somewhat in years, the following writers among others have attempted to prove, though by considerations far from satisfactory: Lützelberger, Die kirchl.
