I feel asleep to a reading of the gospel of John. As I woke up, I was met with the ending lines from the reader, (which I always found extremely spooky) where Jesus was talking to Peter, and then Jesus referred to the probable immortality of John. I guess the argument that he is immortal, would stem from the fact that Jesus had not yet 'returned' in the way that he supposedly would in the book of Revelation
And also, the apostles would likely not have read the book of revelation, to know that this might have been the kind of 'return' that Jesus was talking about. As well, when John talks about the 'books that would fill the world about Jesus,' and that almost would seem like a vision of the future, where John is constantly having adventures with Jesus on earth, since his mortality would have lapsed.
I would suppose that the immortal John would be a world traveler, learning new languages and changing dialects as history progressed, and hiding in the remote areas of countries, or finding a way to blend in.
