Remarks

• John the Apostle has the orthodox surname of the theologian . Often equated with the " favorite disciple ".
  Occasionally in English: (Saint) John the Divine , that is the John of Revelation (Johanes von Patmos).
• For the theological considerations concerning the authorship of the five New Testament scriptures, see John (Evangelist) .
• See also John the Presbyter .

• Even before John Duns Scotus there was a scholar of Irish origin who emerged as a theological and philosophical writer and who bears a similar name as Johannes Scottus . But he is not considered a candidate for canonization, nor is he considered a father of the church ; see Johannes Scottus Eriugena .

To the arrangement

The order of the mentions was as follows: first persons mentioned in the Bible, then in chronological order patriarchs and popes, then persons with the name John, in order of their surnames; This is followed as a separate group by those named "Johannes von (place name)", and finally people with the first name Johannes, sorted by family name. Johannes von Kronstadt , bourgeois Ivan Iljitsch Sergijew , is also in the last group as an example.

Furthermore

Honored Christians named John

There are quite a number of people named John who enjoy special veneration in Christian communities, often on their own memorial day, but are neither traditional saints nor have they been made "to the glory of the altars" in a canonization process and who have not yet been beatified is complete so it was even opened. A small selection of examples:

• Johannes von Meissen , † 1492, priest in the Franciscan order (in Bohemia), memorial day: Nov.
• Johannes Cochlaeus (1479–1552), German humanist and theologian, opponent of Luther.

John Paul and birth name Giovanni
