∙ 11y agoAs with all the New Testament gospels, John's Gospel was originally anonymous, leading the second-century Church Fathers to wonder who probably wrote the book. They noticed that the 'disciple whom Jesus loved' was only mentioned in the fourth gospel, which in turn never mentions the disciple John. On the strength of that coincidence, they decided that the beloved disciple was the apostle John. They then decided that the author of the fourth gospel was probably the same John, being too modest to use his own name in the gospel. Later, the Church Fathers also decided to attribute the Book of Revelation to the same author. So, by a chain of unlikely assumptions, we have all three identified as the one person, making John the Divine the same person as the disciple John, the beloved disciple, the author of John's Gospel and the author of Revelation.
