A:

There is nothing in any Bible source that mentions the author of John's Gospel being a priest. In fact, The Bible does not even tell us who actually wrote this gospel, because the original text was anonymous. It was only later in the second century, when the Church Fathers were trying to establish who, in their opinions, wrote the four gospels, that it was decided to attribute the fourth gospel to the apostle John. Even if John had been the author, there is nothing in scripture to suggest that he was a priest.
