text: are there any historical records of the death of john the disciple? this question is asked because im looking into the whole judas book, i found out that it was written by john in the year 150.  by my calculations it has no posiblilty of that happening.  if you have and answer or can guide me in the right direction i would really appreciate it. god bless all of you. john was the only one of the disciples who died of natural causes.  you should look him up in a bible dictionary to get his whole story.  remember that the judas book is not scripture.
