How old were the Disciples (of Jesus)?

Except that that’s about equivalent to confusing George Washington and King George III in a book about the American Revolution. Jesus’s cousin was John the Baptist, who was executed by one of the Herods about the time that Jesus began his actual ministry. The John who is probably “the disciple whom Jesus loved” and the author or source of the Fourth Gospel is John son of Zebedee, brother of James the Greater, and a completely different individual.
