See Acts 3—4. See Acts — This the Apostles did until the council took them again, beat them, and charged them not to preach anymore. The remainder of the book of Acts is essentially the record of Paul, with a few experiences of Peter. The next we read of John is in Galatians, where Paul mentions that Peter, James, and John had sent him and Barnabas to preach to the gentiles. See Gal. We learn no more until the book of Revelation, which records the vision John had on the Isle of Patmos.
Apparently John had been sent to the island because of his testimony. But why? And who sent him there? Polycarp was martyred about A. Eusebius, Ecclesiastical History, 5. Irenaeus wrote about A. Domitian, emperor of Rome, was assassinated in A. The fame of the monastery grew and a settlement started to expend around it.
During the end of the 12th century, the island of Patmos was transformed into a large commercial center. The monastery acquired a second commercial vessel.
In , the Venetians conquered Patmos and the reign was given to the Duke of Naxos. Supported by the Duke of Naxos, the island became a semi-autonomous monastic state and gained great wealth and influence. In , the Turks came to the island and appointed a representative on the island. After a while, they left the island, which they just forced to pay some taxes. When the Turkish-Venetian Wars ended, tranquillity returned to Patmos and the island flourished, becoming once again an important commercial center.
Massive fortifications were built around the monastery as a protection from the pirates. In , Patmos was governed by the monks and prospered again. Its growth stopped in , when Francesco Morosini, the leader of the Venetians, conquered and destroyed the island of Patmos. With shipping, commerce and the efforts of the inhabitants, Patmos regained its lost nobility, glamour and prosperity. During the early 18th century, the island's wealth was separated into secular and monastic entities.
The Russians conquered the island in , after the Turkish-Venetian War. The Greek Revolution started in and managed to gain the independence of Greece in Nevertheless, the treaty signed in London did not include the islands of the Dodecanese as part of the newly built Greek State and therefore fell again under Turkish occupation.
The Italians occupied all the islands of the Dodecanese in , with of course Patmos, and remained there until , when the Germans took over the island. In , the Germans left and the island of Patmos remained autonomous until when it joined the rest of independent Greece with the rest of the Dodecanese Islands. Contact us Contact us.
