  John the Evangelist - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Tradition has identified him with John the Apostle (an apostle mentioned in the Gospels), John the Presbyter (the author of the second and third epistles of John), and with John of Patmos (the author of the Book of Revelation).
John is associated with Ephesus (where his reputed grave is), and in Ephesus John lived with and cared for Mary, the mother of Jesus.
The author of this Gospel is also sometimes presumed to be the author of 1 John, and rarely also 2 John and 3 John, though the fourth century Council of Rome decreed that the author of 1 John and that of 2and3 John should be regarded as distinct individuals, and modern textual criticism agrees.
