John was the writer of the Fourth Gospel and the book of Revelation. Other New Testament books accredited to John are 1st, 2nd and 3rd John.
The accounts of the Gospels agree that he is the son of Zebedee. Together with his brother, James, he began to follow Jesus while fishing in Galilee. He became one of the Christ's closest disciples and was with him on various significant events such as the Crucifixion.
The second half of the first century was full of persecution for the early Christians. The Apostle James and Stephen were killed in Jerusalem. Paul was sent to Rome and executed.
At his crucifixion, Jesus asked his beloved disciple, John, to look after his mother. John took Mary, the mother of Jesus, to Ephesus between 38 and 47 AD where they lived and where he started to write his Gospel.
John was later exiled to the Greek Island of Patmos for 8 years by Emperor Domitian where he wrote the Revelation. He later returned to Ephesus and continued writing the Gospel of John. He was martyred under the rule of the Emperor Trajan.
The first Christian community in Ephesus was established by John. In 64 AD, after Paul was killed outside the city wall of Rome, John again became the leader of the Ephesians church community.
The apostle John rose to a position of influence within world-wide Christianity and shortly before the destruction of Jerusalem by the Romans in 70 AD he became the pastor of the church in Ephesus and had a special relationship with other churches in the area (as we know from the letters to the Seven Churches in Asia, in the book of Revelation.)
It is said that John, "Founded and built churches throughout all Asia, and worn out by old age, died in the sixty-eight year after our Lord's passion and was buried near the same city (Ephesus)."
