The author of the Book of Revelation is traditionally believed to be the same person as both John, the apostle of Jesus and John, the author of the Fourth Gospel. Justin Martyr, writing in the early 2nd century, was the first to equate the author of Revelation with John the Apostle. Some biblical scholars now contend that these were separate individuals. Additionally, John the Presbyter, an obscure figure in the early church, has been identified with the seer of the Book of Revelation by such authors as Eusebius of Caesarea and Jerome.
