John the Theologian, John the Revelator, etc.
John the disciple was banished to the isle of Patmos.
Vision of St. John on Patmos was created in 1522.
-----------------------The Book of Revelation is signed by 'John', who said that he was writing from the island of Patmos, and because of the coincidence of names has long been associated with the disciple John. However modern scholars say that the autohr could not really have been the author of John's Gospel, nor could he have been the disciple John. To distinguish him as a separate person, he now tends to be called John of Patmos, and there is no reason to believe that he was ever a prisoner.Becuae of the traditional association of Revelation with the disciple John, the early Christians developed a legend that got John on the island of Patmos, thereby 'proving' that he really was the author of Revelation. The belief developed that the Romans had boiled John in oil, but he miraculously survived this and other attempts to kill him. Although they were unable to harm John, the Romans were still somehow able to take him by force as a prisoner to Patmos. This is a wonderful legend, but has no historical basis. The otherwise unknown author, John of Patmos, was not the disciple John and was not a prisoner.
The book of Revelations was written by John on the island of Patmos roughly in the year 90.A.D.
It is not definitively known who the father of John of Patmos was, as there is limited historical information available about his personal life and background.
St. John of Patmos was a legendary person deemed to have written The Revelation (Apocalypse) after the year 100, in Patmos island. Now you can visit the so-called cave of St. John and a great monastery builded around the year 1000.
The island of Patmos.
John was on the island of Patmos "Revelation 1:[9] I John, who also am your brother, and companion in tribulation, and in the kingdom and patience of Jesus Christ, was in the isle that is called Patmos, for the word of God, and for the testimony of Jesus Christ."
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.
A:Archaeologists say there was a synagogue, a gymnasium and other buildings on Patmos in the first century, indicating that it was a place well-to-do people would visit. We do not know exactly when John of Patmos was there, nor who his companions might have been, but Revelation appears to have been written sometime around the end of the first century.
There is no record of John of Patmos' age.
John the desciple was put on the island of Patmos.
