The Bible does not place the apostle John in Ephesus, and there is no reliable information that he ever went there.

The first mention of John in Ephesus was made by Irenaeus in the latter part of the second century, but strong doubts can be raised as to the reliability of the testimony of Irenaeus, who at various times claimed to hear voices from heaven, knew telepathically the moment Polycarp died and said of the Christians in his own time, "We even raise the dead, many of whom are still alive among us and completely healthy."

Where did John the apostle travel?

A:The Bible tells us nothing about the travels of the apostle John after the death of Jesus. A rather late tradition is that he was exiled on the island of Patmos, but this reflects the second-century view that he must have written the Book of Revelation, which is signed by a person called John. Modern New Testament scholars say that the author of Revelation was not the same person as the disciple, so there is no longer any reason to believe that John ever went to Patmos. Apart from legend and tradition, we do not know where St John travelled.

How many exiles went to Patmos?

An unsubstantiated Christian tradition says that the apostle John was exiled to Patmos, because the Romans were unable to kill or hurt him. This raises the question of how the Romans could force John to go to Patmos if they were really unable to hurt or harm him in any way. The reason for this legend is that the book of Revelation is signed by a person called John, writing from Patmos. When it was decided that this John was really the apostle John, it became necessary to find a way of getting the apostle John to Patmos, with exile the solution. Patmos would be a particularly poor place to exile someone, since its harbour was a stopover between Rome and Ephesus, so an exile could simply go on board the next convenient boat in either direction - remember the Romans could do nothing to hurt or harm John and so could not detain him. So, no one was really exiled to Patmos, but tradition says that one person, John, was.


Was Jacob exiled to Patmos?

No. Christian tradition says that the Apostle John was exiled to Patmos. The Book of Revelation was signed by a person called John, who said that he was writing from Patmos. In the belief that this person must have been the apostle John, Christians began to wonder how and why John went to Patmos, and gradually developed the tradition that he had been exiled to the island.
