John, son of Zebedee, was one of the twelve apostles of Our Lord. Together with his brother James and with Simon Peter, he formed a kind of inner circle of three among the Twelve.

John is credited with the authorship of three epistles and one Gospel, although many scholars believe that the final editing of the Gospel was done by others shortly after his death. He is also supposed by many to be the author of the book of Revelation, also called the Apocalypse, although this identification is less certain.

John is shown here with a chalice with a snake in it. This refers to a story recounted in the Golden Legend (a medieval book of lives of the saints) in which, to prove his bona fides, John drinks a cup of poison without being harmed.
