John the Apostle Facts
Generally listed as the youngest apostle. His brother was James, who was another of the Twelve Apostles.
James and John are listed among the Twelve Apostles. Jesus referred to the pair as "Boanerges" (translated "sons of thunder"); although their nature was calm and gentle, when their patience was pushed to its limits their anger became wild and thunderous causing them to speak out like an untamed storm.
