John stayed in Jerusalem for some time during the persecutions following Jesus’ resurrection. After the martyrdom of Peter and [[Saint Paul|Paul]], John settled in Ephesus, the greatest city of Asia Minor, where Paul had centered his missionary activities. There is a tradition, which is confirmed by Tertullian and Jerome, that during the reign of Domitian, John was taken to Rome where an attempt to put him to death in a cauldron of boiling oil was miraculously thwarted. (This is the test of fire that was also faced by Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego.<ref>Dan. 3:20–26.</ref>) He emerged from the cauldron unharmed and was then banished to the island of Patmos. Here he received and recorded the Book of Revelation.  
Juan se quedó en Jerusalén algún tiempo durante las persecuciones que siguieron a la resurrección de Jesús. Tras el martirio de Pedro y Pablo, Juan se asentó en Éfeso, la mayor de las ciudades de Asia Menor, donde Pablo había centrado sus actividades misioneras. Existe una tradición, confirmada por Tertuliano y Jerónimo, que dice que durante el reinado de Domiciano, Juan fue llevado a Roma donde un intento de quitarle la vida en una caldera de aceite hirviendo se frustró milagrosamente. (Esta es la prueba de fuego que también afrontaron Sadrac, Mesac y Abed-nego)<ref></ref>. De la caldera salió ileso y luego fue desterrado a la isla de Patmos. Allí recibió y escribió el libro del Apocalipsis.  


After the death of Domitian in the year <small>A</small>.<small>D</small>. 96, John could return to Ephesus, and many believe that he wrote his Gospel and three epistles at that time, when he was in his nineties. John is said to have passed his last years at Ephesus, and to have died there at a great age, outliving all the other apostles. According to some, he simply “disappeared”—was translated like Elijah or “assumed” into heaven as was the Blessed Virgin. Others testify to the miracles wrought from the dust of his tomb.
