The Acts of John is a collection of narratives and traditions concerning John the Apostle, well described as a "library of materials", inspired by the Gospel of John, long known in fragmentary form. As a description of acts attributed to one of the major apostles who had put their words down into the New Testament, together with the Acts of Paul it is considered one of the most significant of the apostolic Acts in the New Testament apocrypha.
