Ὁ Ὅσιος Ἰωάννης (Βαρασβατσέ) καταγόταν ἀπὸ τὴν Ἰβηρία καὶ ἔζησε τὸν 10ο αἰώνα μ.Χ. Ἦταν σύμβουλος τοῦ διοικητῆ τῆς Ἰβηρίας Δαβὶδ τοῦ Κουροπαλάτου, τοπάρχης τῆς Ἰβηρικῆς Μεσχίας καὶ τιτλοῦχος τοῦ Βυζαντίου. Ἀπογοητευμένος ἀπὸ τὰ ἐγκόσμια ἀποσύρθηκε, γιὰ νὰ μονάσει στὸν Ὄλυμπο τῆς Μυσίας, ἀργότερα δέ, ἀφοῦ παρέλαβε ἀπὸ τὴν Κωνσταντινούπολη τὸν νεαρὸ υἱό του, Εὐθύμιο, ποὺ εἶχε παραδοθεῖ ἀπὸ τὸν ἡγεμόνα τῆς Ἰβηρίας Δαβὶδ ὡς ὅμηρος, πῆγε στὸ Ἅγιον Ὄρος, ὅπου ἀσκήτευε στὴν Λαύρα τοῦ Ἁγίου Ἀθανασίου μαζὶ μὲ μερικοὺς μαθητές. Κοιμήθηκε μὲ εἰρήνη μεταξὺ τῶν ἐτῶν 998 – 1003.
