3 John IntroJohn, Third Epistle of - is addressed to Caius, or
Gaius, but whether to the
Christian of that name in
Macedonia (Acts 19: 29) or in
Corinth (Rom. 16:23) or in
Derbe (Acts 20:4) is uncertain. It was written for the purpose of commending to
Gaius some Christians who were strangers in the place where he lived, and who had gone thither for the purpose of preaching the
gospel (ver. 7).
The Second and Third
Epistles were probably written soon after the First, and from
Ephesus.
