When was Jesus' apostle John alive?
In spite of lurid tradition, we know nothing about the apostle John after the crucifixion. Various traditions describe the supposed deaths of the other apostles, sometimes in more than one location or by more than one means of execution. On the other hand, John is supposed to have lived a long life, perhaps in order to qualify him as the author of the Book of Revelation.According to popular tradition, John was the youngest apostle, and on that view would have been born early in the first century. It is said he lived to an old age, dying at Ephesus sometime after 98 CE.

Who was the oldest Apostle?
Peter was the eldest apostle by age and by status. He was the first that Christ came across when He began his ministry. The fact that he was the eldest apostle, by age and status, is evidenced by his correct answer to Christ's searching question later: "Who am I", to which Peter responded, "You are the son of God". Peter was old enough to answer wisely, and was blessed and charged with the keys to the gates of Heaven for his timely affirmation of the Messiah. St. Peter loved Christ more than any other apostle, but Christ loved St. John more, indicating that John perhaps was the youngest. Incidentally Peter is depicted in Christian art work through the ages as grayer haired than the rest, as is God.Here is the scripture of reference:Joh 1:42 And he (Andrew) brought him (Peter) to Jesus. Jesus looked at him and said, "You are Simon son of John. You will be called Peter (Gk., Aramaic Cephas)."Another perspective:There is only one honest answer to your question: We don't know. The Bible doesn't give us the apostles' ages, or tell us what they looked like.
