Nicolas Poussin's Landscape with Saint John on Patmos (1640) Christian tradition has considered the Book of Revelation's writer to be the same person as John the Apostle.

Translations of the Acts of John in modern languages have been reconstructed by scholars from a number of manuscripts of later date. The Acts of John are generally classified as New Testament apocrypha.
