John the Evangelist[a] (c. 8 AD - c. 100 AD) is the name traditionally given to the author of the Gospel of John. Christians have traditionally identified him with John the Apostle, John of Patmos, and John the Presbyter,[2] although there is no consensus on how many of these may actually be the same individual.[3]
