There is no evidence that John, son of Zebedee, ever went to either Patmos or Ephesus. However, because the Book of Revelation was signed by a person called John, a tradition developed that this John was the apostle John, that he was exiled to Patmos and that he then went to Ephesus, perhaps for as long as 26 years.
Vision of St. John on Patmos was created in 1522.
There is no evidence that John was ever exiled to Patmos. The John who wrote Revelation (apparently not the apostle John) might have been on the island out of choice.Brian Mark Rapske (Christian Origins and Greco-Roman Culture, Exiles, Islands, and the Identity and Perspective of John in Revelation) says that there is no evidence that Patmos was a penal colony, although it certainly would have been suitable for use as a place of exile. There were were no mines on ancient Patmos, although a later tradition says that John was made to work in the mines.
