Coming (John 21:20–23; 3 Ne. 28:6–7; D&C 7)". 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 authority with Apostolic succession to earth. Latter-day Saint historians claim that previous editions of latter-day scripture contradict this claim of priesthood authority and Apostolic Succession. John, along with the Three Nephites, will live to see the Second Coming of Christ as translated beings.

Historians have related such portrayals to the circumstances of the believers for whom they were intended. For instance, John's feminine features are argued to have helped to make him more relatable to women.
