∙ 12y ago
The early Church Fathers decided late in the second century that John was actually the apostle John and that he was exiled to Patmos, but modern scholars say this was not the case. For that reason, he is now commonly referred to as John of Patmos, to distinguish him from the apostle John or the evangelist who wrote John's Gospel.

How old was john in the Book of Revelation?
There is no record of John of Patmos' age.
Was John blind when he wrote Revelation?
A:We know nothing about John of Patmos apart from his authorship of the Book of Revelation, but presumably he was able to see, in order to be able to write. Because the author of the Book of Revelation identified himself as 'John', the book was once attributed to the apostle John. However, scholars say that he is most unlikely to have been the real author, and for this reason now refer to the uthor of Revelation as John of Patmos. The fanciful tradition that the apostle John was boiled in oil then exiled to Patmos was needed in order to get him to Patmos so that he could write the book there. Since this John was not the author, we do not need the oil, nor the exile. Without all these punishments, there is no reason to imagine John of Patmos as being blinded.

Was John of Patmos blind when He was writing the Book Of Revelation?

What significant Christian event occured on Patmos Island?
A book now known as the Book of Revelation was written, or at least compiled from various other writings, on the island of Patmos, by an otherwise unknown author called John. The Church Fathers included this book in the Christian canon in case the author, John, were the apostle John. However, modern scholars say this author clearly was not the author of John's Gospel or the epistles, so they now often refer to him as John of Patmos.
Is Revelation the last book of the Bible?
Yes, Revelation is PHYSICALLY the last book in the Holy Bible, but not the last book written in the Bible. John wrote Revelation when he was a prisoner on the Isle of Patmos for preaching about Jesus(Revelation 1:1,2+9), but it is generally believed that he wrote his gospel and his three 'epistles'(1John, 2John, 3John) after he was released from Patmos and was living near Ephesus.
Why was John of Patmos blind?
There are various theories about why John of Patmos was believed to be blind, but there is not conclusive evidence to support any of them. Some theories suggest it could have been due to old age, illness, or physical trauma. The exact reason is uncertain and remains a topic of debate among scholars.
What men in the Bible were sent to the Isle of Patmos?
The only mention of Patmos in the whole Bible is when the author of the Book of Revelation, who identified himself as 'John', said that he was writing from Patmos. Because of the coincidence of name, the second-century Church Fathers decided that the author was the apostle John. However, modern scholars do not believe that the author was either the apostle John or the author of John's Gospel. For this reason, he is often now referred to as John of Patmos. After the Church Fathers attributed Revelation to the apostle John, a further Christian tradition developed that John was exiled to Patmos because the Romans had been unable to harm him. However this is not supported by the Bible and is unlikely to be true.
What was the last book John wrote in the Bible?
