Diotrephes

Diotrephes was an early Christian leader mentioned in the Bible's New Testament, specifically in 3 John. He was known for his pride and authoritarian attitude, often refusing to accept or support the Apostle John's authority and instructions. Diotrephes preferred to dominate the church community, excluding some members and meddling in others' affairs. His behavior serves as a cautionary example of arrogance and the importance of humility and unity within spiritual leadership.
