A:The Gospel of John and the three Epistles of John are traditionally attributed to the apostle John, with the Revelation of John also commonly attributed to him.

Like all the New Testament gospels, John's Gospel was originally anonymous and was only attributed to the apostle John later in the second century. The Church Fathers noticed that the author never mention John and the 'disciple whom Jesus loved' together, so they decided that this disciple must be John. They then decided that the author was the disciple whom Jesus loved and that he did not say so out of modesty. Thus began the tradition that John actually wrote the Gospel. However, scholars say that the Gospel could not have been written by an eyewitness to the events portrayed. In fact, John's Gospel is loosely based on Luke and, to a lesser extent, Mark. The Johannine epistles bear a family resemblance to this Gospel, so the next decision was to attribute them to the same author. Finally, Revelation is signed by a person called John and, although there was considerable dispute about its authenticity, this was also attributed to the disciple John.

Modern scholars say that John the apostle wrote none of the books in The Bible.

John was responsible for his own narrative of the ministry of Jesus: The Gospel according to John. He is also responsible for 3 epistles: 1st John, 2nd John, and 3rd John. He also penned the Revelation.

A:The fourth gospel, three epistles and even the Book of Revelation have tradtionally been attributed to the apostle John.

However, the above attributions date from late in the second century, before which the gospel and the related epistles were anonymous, but apparently then attributed to Cerinthus before finally being attributed to John. The attribution of Revelation to the apostle John was based solely on the fact that it was written by someone called John, who was thought by some of the Church Fathers must therefore be John, the disciple of Jesus.

Modern scholars say that John's Gospel could not have been written by an eyewitness to the events portrayed, which therefore means that John was not the author of the gospel now known as John's Gospel. We can also say that he did not write the epistles that now bear his name, nor Revelation.

John the disciple did not write any part of the Bible.
