A:Although many fanciful traditions about the deaths of the apostles grew up over the centuries, we do not really know how any of them died. When it was decided late in the second century that he was the 'John' who wrote the Book of Revelation, it became necessary for John to live to an old age, so that he could actually write this book, on the island of Patmos. Scholars are now in substantial agreement that the apostle John did not write the Book of Revelation, but the tradition persists that he alone of the apostles died of old age, probably at Patmos. We can say that he would not have died on Patmos, but no more. A:
