Introduction to the Third Epistle of John.

00:04.590 --> 00:09.270
The wise elderly apostle John wrote this
brief letter about the same time he wrote

00:09.270 --> 00:12.650
1 John and 2 John, toward the end of the
first century.

00:13.690 --> 00:16.350
John sent this third letter to a man named
Gaius.

00:17.070 --> 00:20.530
Gaius often showed hospitality to
traveling teachers and missionaries.

00:21.530 --> 00:25.850
John praised his generosity, but also
warned him about a man who was refusing to

00:25.850 --> 00:27.750
listen to spiritual leaders in authority.

00:28.770 --> 00:31.630
Notice John's warmth even in this
troubling situation.
