Gospel According to John Audio play online

The Gospel of John is an intimate testimony of Jesus Christ written by one of His most trusted and beloved servants and disciples. John, like Matthew, was one of the Lords original Twelve Apostles and so was a special witness to the acts and teachings in his Gospel. John and James were sons of Zebedee and, like Simon Peter, were fishermen who left all when Jesus called them (see Mark 1:1920; Luke 5:1011). Jesus referred to the brothers as the Sons of Thunder (see Mark 3:17). John and James were two of the Apostles Jesus appointed to take the keys of presidency. Peter, James, and John acted as the First Presidency of the Church in their day (Joseph Fielding Smith, Doctrines of Salvation, comp. Bruce R. McConkie, 3 vols. [195456], 3:152). These three were with the Lord at the raising of Jairuss daughter, at the Transfiguration, and in Gethsemane. In his testimony, John refers to himself as the disciple whom Jesus loved (John 21:20; see also John 13:23; 19:26; 20:2; 21:7). The Book of Mormon and the Doctrine and Covenants refer to Johns role as a revelator and a restorer of the priesthood in the latter days (see 1 Nephi 14:1827; Ether 4:16; D&C 7; 27:12; 77; see also Bible Dictionary, (John, p. 715).
