John of Patmos are the suffixative descriptions given to the author named as John in the Book of Revelation, the apocalyptic text forming the final book of the New Testament. The text of Revelation states that John was on Patmos, a Greek island where, by most biblical historians, he is considered to be in exile as a result of anti-Christian persecution under the Roman emperor Domitian.Since the Roman era, some Christians and historians have considered the Book of Revelation's writer to be John the Apostle , professed author of the Gospel of John. However, a minority of senior clerics and scholars, such as Eusebius , recognise at least one further John as a companion of Jesus Christ, John the Presbyter "after an interval, placing him among others outside of the number of the apostles". The majority of Christian scholars since medieval times separate the disciple from Revelation's writer, John the Divine. All scholars separate John the Baptist to whom a third major set of the world's churches are dedicated and whose relationship with Jesus was complex.
