Itinerant teachers sent out by John were rejected in one of the churches in the province of Asia by a dictatorial leader, Diotrephes. John writes to Gaius, his friend and a leader in the church, to thank Gaius for his help and to encourage him in his support of legitimate teachers. He also reproves Diotrephes for not cooperating and for rebelling against John's leadership.
III John
