Diotrephes

Concise Bible Dictionary:

One in the church, otherwise unknown, who loved to have the pre-eminence: he refused to receive certain brethren, and excommunicated others (3 John 1:99I wrote unto the church: but Diotrephes, who loveth to have the preeminence among them, receiveth us not. (3 John 9)). Thus early was “clericalism” manifested in the church.
