Answer John was the only Apostle to die a natural death. He was exiled on the Isle of Patmos while writing the Revelation, and was later released at which time he wrote his three epistles. Historical documents indicate that John lived well into his 90's - thus living through the death of all the apostles, including Paul. Cessationists believe that the death of John ended the continuing revelation of Christ to His church.FYI:The day commemorates the martyrdom by beheading of Saint John the Baptist on the orders of Herod Antipas through the vengeful request of his step-daughter Salome and her mother

∙ 7y agoThe Book of Revelation is signed by a person called John, who was writing from the island of Patmos. The Church Fathers debated whether this John of Patmos was the apostle John and concluded that they could not be sure, keeping the Book of Revelation simply because they dared not discard a book written by one of the apostles.
Scholars say that John of Patmos could not have been the apostle of the same name, so we know nothing about him and certainly not about how he died.

What men in the Bible were sent to the Isle of Patmos?
The only mention of Patmos in the whole Bible is when the author of the Book of Revelation, who identified himself as 'John', said that he was writing from Patmos. Because of the coincidence of name, the second-century Church Fathers decided that the author was the apostle John. However, modern scholars do not believe that the author was either the apostle John or the author of John's Gospel. For this reason, he is often now referred to as John of Patmos. After the Church Fathers attributed Revelation to the apostle John, a further Christian tradition developed that John was exiled to Patmos because the Romans had been unable to harm him. However this is not supported by the Bible and is unlikely to be true.
