Revelation 1:1 says that the Book of Revelation was written by John, a servant of Jesus Christ in Patmos, but does not really say who John was. At some stage in the second century, the fourth Gospel was attributed to the apostle John, and Revelation was subsequently attributed to the same author because of the similarity of name. It has also been pointed out that, alone in the New Testament, these two books refer to Jesus Christ as the Lamb. On these fragile grounds, Revelation has long been attributed to the author of John's Gospel, in spite of the differences in style and theology.

Where did Paul write the book of Revelation?

The apostle Paul did not write the book of the Revelation.The apostle John, one of the original 12 disciples, wrote this book while exiled on the Isle of Patmos.AnswerThe island of Patmos is very close to the church of Ephesus which John pastored and to which he delivered Revelation after he wrote it.

In fact there is plenty of evidence that ALL four Gospels of the Bible, Mathew, Mark, Luke and John were written by people not connected with the original 12 and who had never met Jesus.
