- Luke 1:13 John the Baptist is considered the last of the Old Testament prophets. His mother, Elizabeth, and Mary the mother of Jesus, were related (1:36), and Mary may have been with Elizabeth at the time John was born (1:56).

John the Apostle authored the Gospel of John, three brief letters (1 John, 2 John, 3 John), and Revelation.
