Luke's Gospel says that John the Baptist was the cousin of Jesus, although the other gospel authors seem to have been unaware of this, even saying that John the Baptist did not know Jesus.
John the Baptist was not the same person as the disciple John, who is usually credited with writing the Gospel of John. Moreover, John's Gospel was originally written anonymously and was only attributed to the apostle, whose name it now bears, later in the second century. Since John was actually written early in the second century by an unknown author, it was clearly not written by a relative of Jesus.

What are the 3 parts of John's gospel?

How did the author of John's Gospel refer to himself in the text?
The author of John's gospel, traditionally John himself, refers to himself as "the disciple whom Jesus loved" or "the one Jesus loved" depending on the translation. This passage is found in John 13:23. You can tell that the name "John" is missing from the text and from the context in the other gospels you can infer that the disciple in question is John.John 13:23 - One of them, the disciple whom Jesus loved, was reclining next to him.The author of John's Gospel was originally anonymous and for decades, the Church Fathers sought to establish who, in their view, probably wrote the fourth gospel. Finally they decided that the author must be the disciple referred to as "the disciple whom Jesus loved," saying that modesty prevented him from using his own name. They then decided that the beloved disciple was probably John, son of Zebedee, since John was not otherwise mentioned.However, modern New Testament scholars believe that John was not the author of the gospel that now bears his name. They say that the gospel could not have been written by an eyewitness to the life and mission of Jesus.
Who was the evangelist who wrote about Mary?

How many times does John mention himself by name in the Gospels?
The Gospel now known as John's Gospel does not mention the disciple John, but does mention "the sons of Zebedee", a reference that would include the disciple John, in verse 21:2. The Gospel also mentions a 'disciple whom Jesus loved', whom the second-century Church Fathers decided was also a reference to the disciple John. The New Testament were originally written anonymously, so we do not really know who wrote John's Gospel or whether it had anything to do with John at all. When the Church Fathers were attempting to establish who probably wrote each of the gospels, they felt that the reference to the 'disciple whom Jesus loved' was modesty on the part of the author, and that this was the author himself. Therefore, they said, the author was John.
