Abstract
There was yet another Jesus-movement group on the horizon that must be integrated with any study of Roman Christianity. This is the John group. The problem is that there is, in Christian Tradition. First, John of Patmos is reconstructed in the context of Western Asia Minor and the supposed Gnostic groups already there. The Book of Revelation, analysed according its collection of various materials, was attributed to John. Perhaps, he was named as the author because of his religious fame. Some attempt is made to put order into the Johns: John of Patmos, John of Zebedee, John the author of the Gospel of John, John the author of three Letters and the Beloved Disciple, widely accepted as John of Zebedee. It is concluded that John of Patmos was the only real John.
