AnswerThere is no record in The Bible of any miracle happening to the apostle John or being performed by him. However, an imaginative Christian tradition grew up around him in later centuries, in order to explain how John arrived in Patmos and therefore identify him as the author of Revelation.

The popular tradition about John is that Emperor Domitian ordered him brought as a prisoner to Rome and thrown into a vat of boiling oil. John was unharmed by the boiling oil, and he was eventually exiled under guard in Patmos. An anomaly is that if John was immune to harm, as shown by his escape from the boiling oil, he could scarcely have been restrained by armed guards, who should also have been totally unable to harm him.
