The apostle John died a natural death of old age on the Island of Patmos.
Because 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, Revelation has long been associated with the disciple John. Because of this 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, where he presumably died. This is a wonderful legend, but has no historical basis.
