To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
70, all that we know of the Church for the last thirty years of the first century connects itself naturally with the Apostle, St. John. It was his lot long to survive his colleagues, so that the young Church shoidd not want in those latter days the high authority of an Apostle and eye-witness of Christ. Ecclesiastical tradition makes him a relation of Jesus, through his mother Salome ; of all the disciples, none except St. Peter and St. James were so intimate with Jesus, he was the darling of t...he Lord who lay on His breast at the Last Supper, the ono disciple present at the Crucifixion, and whose loyalty Jesus rewarded by con- signing His Mother to his care. When he left Jeru- salem for good is uncertain, but at St. Paul's last visit, in 58, he must already have gone. St. John seems to have been closely united with St. Peter, and, so long as we have any account of their common work, is always named with him as his companion ; St. Paul designates them, together with St. James, pillars of the Church.
