John the Apostle [12] (Ancient Greek: Ἰωάννης; Latin: Ioannes; [13] c. 6 AD – c. 100 AD), also known as Saint John the Beloved and, in Eastern Orthodox Christianity, Saint John the Theologian, [14] was one of the Twelve Apostles of Jesus according to the New Testament.
Augustine of Hippo (354–430 AD) also believed that John was the beloved disciple, in his Tractates on the Gospel of John. [23] The assumption that the beloved disciple was one of the Apostles is based on the observation that he was apparently present at the Last Supper, and Matthew and Mark state that Jesus ate with the Twelve.

Traditionally, this was often believed to be the same person as John the Apostle (John, son of Zebedee), one of the apostles of Jesus, to whom the Gospel of John was also attributed.

The Disciple whom Jesus loved (or Beloved Disciple) – an unnamed person referenced several times in the Fourth Gospel itself. Some theologians and scholars have, by way of elimination, identified this disciple as one of the Twelve Disciples of Jesus, usually John, son of Zebedee.
Further identification of the Beloved Disciple and/or the Evangelist with John the Apostle has been variously defended and impugned. [39] Some scholars see the Gospel's “and we know that his testimony is true,” [40] as indicating a second hand, of a hypothetical redactor or some group of elders certifying the work. [41]
Jesus and John at the Last Supper, by Valentin de Boulogne. The Gospel of John makes references to the "disciple whom Jesus loved" (John 13:23, [27] John 19:26, [28] John 21:7–20), [29] a phrase which does not occur in the Synoptic Gospels. In the text, this "beloved disciple" is present at the crucifixion of Jesus, with Jesus' mother, Mary.
John the Evangelist [a] (c. 6 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.
