John the Apostle

{{see also|Account of John}}
[[The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints]] (LDS Church) teaches that, "John is mentioned frequently in latter-day revelation (1 Ne. 14:18–27; 3 Ne. 28:6; Ether 4:16; D&C 7; 27:12; 61:14; 77; 88:141). For Latter-day Saints these passages confirm the biblical record of John and also provide insight into his greatness and the importance of the work the Lord has given him to do on the earth in New Testament times and in the last days. The latter-day scriptures clarify that John did not die but was allowed to remain on the earth as a ministering servant until the time of the Lord's Second Coming (John 21:20–23; 3 Ne. 28:6–7; D&C 7)".<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/scriptures/gs/john-son-of-zebedee?lang=eng|title=John, Son of Zebedee|website=wwwchurchofjesuschrist.org}}</ref> It also teaches that in 1829, along with the resurrected Peter and the resurrected James, John visited [[Joseph Smith]] and [[Oliver Cowdery]] and restored the [[Priesthood (Latter Day Saints)|priesthood]] authority with [[Apostolic succession]] to earth,<ref>[[Doctrine and Covenants]] {{lds||dc|27|12}}</ref> though a few ex-Latter-Day Saints claim<ref>[https://read.cesletter.org/priesthood/#before-1832 Priesthood restoration.
