We do not really know when any of Jesus' disciples died. Some believe that John was the last to die, based on the assumption that he was the author of the Gospel in his name. Others say that perhaps the "disciple whom Jesus loved" was the last to die, becaue John's Gospel says of him, "He shall not die; but, If I will that he tarry till I come, what is that to thee?" However, some scholars, quoted by Raymond E Brown, believe that the Beloved Disciple was purely symbolic, representing the perfect disciple. There is a view among some Christians that John and the Beloved Disciple were the same person.
