The Fate Of John The Apostle

...Sic eum volo manere, donec veniam. Ergo videtur, quod saltem usque ad Domini adventum anima ipsius a corpore non sit separata; nam post non habetur ex littera: ergo videtur, quod loannes nondum sit mortuus; in cuius rei argumentum est quod corpus eius non invenitur. Respondeo: Dicendum, quod praeter expositionem primam discipulorum, quam fecerunt, quam arguit ipse Evangelista quod non moreretur, tres sunt aliae expositiones. Una est, quod non est mortuus, sed morietur in adventu Domini; sed modo in sopore est sub terra, et ideo corpus eius non habetur. Sed ista positio est improbabilis; quia non est credendum, quod Dominus discipulo, quem amabat, tamdiu differret suam demonstrare gloriam, quam cupiebat Apostolus, ad Philippenses primo: Cupio dissolvi et esse cum Christo. Alia est opinio, quod Dominus ipsum assumsit in corpore et anima, et in illa assumtione obiit et revixit. Etsi ista opinio non possit ita reprobari, tamen , quia non habet auctoritatem, eadem facilitate contemnitur, qua probatur. Tertia opinio dicit, quod loannes est mortuus, et de corpore eius nihil asserit , quia nihil certum invenitur. Quod autem dictum est: Sic eum volo manere, donec veniam, id est, diem exspectare novissimum, non saeculi, sed mortis suae, quando ipse veniens eum in aeternae beatitudinis mansione recipiam.'

...If I wish him to remain until I come. 1 Therefore it seems that his soul shall not be separated from his body at least until the coming of the Lord, for what is written does not speak of what happens after. Therefore it seems that John is not yet dead, concerning which it has been asserted that his body has not been found. I respond, that it must be said that besides the first exposition made, there are three other explanations regarding this Evangelist's suggestion that he shall not die. One is that he is not dead, but he shall die at the coming of the Lord, and in a way is asleep beneath the earth and therefore his body is not to be found. But this is improbable, because it should not be believed that the Lord would so long delay the showing of His glory to that disciple whom he loved, which the Apostle desired in the first chapter to the Philippians, 'I desire to die and be with Christ.' 2 There is another opinion that states that the Lord took him up in body and soul and in that assumption he died and was revived. It is not possible to refute this opinion, and yet because it has no authority, it is as easily rejected as accepted. The third opinion says that John is dead, and claims nothing about his body, because it cannot discover anything for certain. But when it was said, 'If I wish him to remain until I come,' it means 'Look not to the last day of the world but to the day of his death, when I shall receive him in the place of eternal beatitude.'
