Bible Person
Meaning: the grace or mercy of the Lord · Male · 1 cross reference
This John entry refers to the member of the high-priestly family present at the apostles' hearing in Acts 4:6, not to John the Baptist or John the apostle. He belongs to the circle of authority examining the early Christian witness. First appears in Acts 4:6.1
AI summary: This John matters because his single cross reference places him within the establishment that questions Peter and John after the healing at the temple gate. The entry helps show that the apostolic message quickly faced scrutiny from the highest religious leadership in Jerusalem. Taken together, the material presents this John as a figure within the high-priestly opposition to the early church.1
