He is that disciple who (without mention by name) is spoken of in the Fourth Gospel as especially dear to Jesus (John 13:23; John 19:26; John 21:7, John 21:20), and according to the traditional opinion is the author of the Apocalypse, Revelation 1:1, Revelation 1:4, Revelation 1:9; Revelation 21:2 Rec. ; Revelation 22:8. In the latter part of his life he had charge of the churches in Asia Minor, and died there at a very advanced age. That be never came into Asia Minor, but died in Palestine somewhat in years, the following writers among others have attempted to prove, though by considerations far from satisfactory: Lützelberger, Die kirchl.

Full articles respecting him may be found — by Grimm in Ersch u.
