Answer 2

According to Wikipedia-


Main article: Authorship of the Johannine works
The text itself states only that the Gospel was written by a follower of Jesus referred to as the Beloved Disciple, traditionally identified with John the Apostle, believed to have lived at the end of his life at Ephesus. Attestation of Johannine authorship can be found as early as Irenaeus.[1] Eusebius wrote that Irenaeus received his information from Polycarp, who is said to have received it from the apostles directly.[2] The dating is important since John is agreed to be the last of the canonical Gospels to have been written and thus marks the end-date of their composition.

Critical scholarship starting in the 19th century questioned the apostle John's authorship, arguing that the work was written decades after the events it describes. The critical scholarship argues that there are differences in the composition of the Greek within the Gospel, such as breaks and inconsistencies in sequence, repetitions in the discourse, as well as passages that clearly do not belong to their context, and this suggest redaction.[3]

Raymond E. Brown, a biblical scholar who specialized in studying the Johannine community, summarizes a prevalent theory regarding the development of this gospel.[4] He identifies three layers of text in the Fourth Gospel (a situation that is paralleled by the synoptic gospels): 1) an initial version Brown considers based on personal experience of Jesus; 2) a structured literary creation by the evangelist which draws upon additional sources; and 3) the edited version that readers know today (Brown 1979).
