Mírzá Áqá Ján
___________________
Pronunciation: mere-zaw-awe-caw-John
___________________
The amanuensis of Bahá'u'lláh. As a youth of sixteen he met Bahá'u'lláh in Karbilá and there became the first to whom Bahá'u'lláh gave a glimpse of His station, years before His public declaration. For forty years MIrzá Aqá Jan served Bahá'u'lláh as amanuensis and personal attendant, and was given the title Khádim'u-‘lláh (Servant of God). Bahá'u'lláh often addressed him as ‘Abd-i-Hádir (Servant in Attendance). But after the passing of Bahá'u'lláh, MIrzá Aqá Jan broke the Covenant and turned against ‘Abdu'l-Bahá. He died in 1901.
[BD 19]
