Pope Evaristus (Greek: Ευάριστος) was the bishop of Rome from c. 99/100 to his death in 107/108.
It is likely that John the Apostle died during his reign period, marking the end of the Apostolic Age.
[7] He divided titles among the priests in the city of Rome, and ordained seven deacons to assist with the bishop's preaching.
[4] The same is indicated also by French historian Alexis-François Artaud de Montor.
[9] However, in the Roman Martyrology he is listed without the martyr title, with a feast day on 26 October.
