    Tikki on 3 John 1 - 8 years ago
    I find it interesting that John referred to himself as an "elder".
    In the book of revelation the "elders" who were in heaven (spiritual realm- Rev 1:10). Ended up having to cast their crowns down at the feet of him who was worthy (Jesus- Rev 4:10)
    The apostle Paul was the greatest apostle, due to the fact that he received the good news via the spirit of truth , by revelation ( Gal 1:12).

    Daniel J Smith - In Reply on 3 John 1 - 6 years ago
    Tikki, I agree that Paul was the greatest apostle of all, but for reasons other than the fact that he received the "good news" by revelation. Surely the apostles that were by Jesus' side during his ministry, and received the Gospel directly from him, would not be lesser apostles because they received the Gospel directly from the source, rather than receiving it by way of revelation.
