'John of Zebedee is a pure soul
he is the pure one amongst my disciples

a soul as beautiful as a flower
in an angelical body'

Pieter-Paul Rubens

'he caught Me 
with the words of his first Master
and asked Me to give him peace

but he already hás 
peace in his heart
because of his purity

and I love him 
because of his purity

to which I entrusted 
My teachings, My secrets
and the most dear creature I had

he was my first disciple
who loved me 

from the very first instant
he saw me

his soul has melted with Mine
from the day he saw Me passing
near the Jordan

and he saw the Baptist 
pointing to Me'
