Bible Question: Did John the Baptist write the book of Revelation? |
Bible Answer: Internal and historical evidence points to John the apostle as the author. John was one of Jesus’ original twelve disciples, chosen personally by Jesus to follow and learn from him. John also wrote one of the NT Gospels (the Bible’s four narrative accounts of Jesus’ life) and three other NT letters (see introductions to John’s Gospel and 1, 2 and 3 John). Other church leaders of the late first and early second centuries support the belief that John is the author. For example, Irenaeus verifies that Polycarp (Irenaeus knew Polycarp, and Polycarp knew the apostle John) spoke about John writing Revelation near the end of Domitian’s reign as Roman emperor (A.D. 81-96).
