القديس يوحنا بن زبدي هو مؤلف هذا الإنجيل في التقليد المسيحي، وعلى الرغم من أن هذا الرأي لا يزال يحظى بمؤيدين بين العلماء المعاصرين،<ref name="Morris1995">Morris, Leon (1995) ''[https://books.google.com/books?id=II-33dS9esAC&pg=PA4 The Gospel According to John]'' Volume 4 of The new international commentary on the New Testament, Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing, {{ISBN|978-0-8028-2504-9}}, pp. 4–5, 24, 35–7. "Continental scholars have&nbsp;... abandoned the idea that this gospel was written by the apostle John, whereas in Great Britain and America scholarship has been much more open to the idea." Abandonment is due to changing opinion rather "than to any new evidence." "Werner, Colson, and I have been joined, among others, by I. Howard Marshall and J.A.T. Robinson in seeing the evidence as pointing to John the son of Zebedee as the author of this Gospel." The view that John's history is substandard "is becoming increasingly hard to sustain. Many recent writers have shown that there is good reason for regarding this or that story in John as authentic.&nbsp;... It is difficult to&nbsp;... regard John as having little concern for history. The fact is John is concerned with historical information.&nbsp;... John apparently records this kind of information because he believes it to be accurate.&nbsp;... He has some reliable information and has recorded it carefully.&nbsp;... The evidence is that where he can be tested John proves to be remarkably accurate."
