The synoptic gospels present the Apostle John, during the three years of discipleship next to Jesus Christ, in a different way than the Gospel of John. Along with his older brother, James, and the Apostle Peter, he is part of the small, intimate group, which is present at all the important events of the Saviour’s ministry. Jesus chooses to change John into a disciple of love, of gentleness, of compassion by accepting him, by unconditional love, and by entrusting him as the son of Mary, the Mother of God. The paradigm of life is shaped in his new relationship, a fact proved by the writing of the fourth Gospel: he does not mention his name, he describes himself as the disciple whom Jesus loved, the emphasis on love is twice as great as that of truth and justice.

Keywords: Apostle John, Gospels, disciple, education, parents, the paradigm of life.
