John the Apostle (Ancient Greek: Ἰωάννης) (c. 6 - c. 100) was
one of the Twelve Apostles of Jesus. He was the son of Zebedee
and Salome, and brother of James also the son of Zebedee,
another of the Twelve Apostles. Christian tradition holds he
was the last surviving of the Twelve Apostles, the only one to
die a natural death and died around the age of 94.
Christian tradition identifies him as the author of several
New Testament works: the Gospel of John, the Epistles of John,
and the Book of Revelation. Some modern scholars believe that
John the Apostle, John the Evangelist, and John of Patmos were
three separate individuals.[2] Certain lines of evidence
suggest that John of Patmos wrote only Revelation, neither the
Gospel of John nor the Epistles of John. For one, the author
of Revelation identifies himself as "John" several times, but
the author of the Gospel of John never identifies himself
directly. Roman Catholic scholars state that "vocabulary,
grammar, and style make it doubtful that the book could have
been put into its present form by the same person(s)
responsible for the fourth gospel."...
