John the Apostle

John the Apostle (c.6 - c.100) is an Apostle and the youngest of the twelve original Disciples of Jesus Christ. He is notable for his close relationship with Jesus, often referred to as the "beloved disciple."

He is the only one of the twelve original Disciples who is not thought to have been martyred. His brother James was another of the Twelve Disciples.

John is known for writing four New Testament books: the Gospel of John and three Epistles of John. While traditionally attributed as the author of Revelation, this attribution is debated today. His Gospel is renowned for its in-depth portrayal of Jesus' teachings and his divine nature.
