Who were relatives of John the gospel author?
A:The author of the gospel now known as John's Gospel is not actually known. The Gospel was originally anonymous and was only attributed to John, son of Zebedee, later in the second century. However, biblical scholars say that the author could not really have been an eyewitness to the events portrayed in the Gospel, in which case the attribution to John must be erroneous. If John had really been the author of the gospel that now bears his name, then his father would have been Zebedee and his brother would have been James.
