'''Saint John the Evangelist''' (d. ca. 110; '''יוחנן''' "[[Tetragrammaton|The LORD]] is merciful", [[Standard Hebrew]] '''Yoḥanan''', [[Tiberian Hebrew]] '''Yôḥānān'''), or the '''Beloved Disciple''', is traditionally the name used to refer to the author of the [[Gospel of John]] and the [[First Epistle of John]]. Traditionally he has been identified with [[John the Apostle]]. The identification with the author of the [[Second Epistle of John|Second]] and [[Third Epistle of John]] and the author of the [[Book of Revelation]] is a long-held tradition, though debated among some historical-critical scholars (see [[John the Presbyter]] and [[John of Patmos]]).

The Gospel of John refers to an unnamed "Beloved Disciple" of Jesus who bore witness to the gospel's message. The editors of the Gospel, who record the Beloved Disciple's death, seem interested in the author's anonymity. Apparently this disciple of Jesus had not been well known, but had greatly outlived Peter.
