During the Middle Ages there was a traditional, non-canonical tale in circulation representing St John the Evangelist at a banquet in Ephesus where he was offered a goblet of poisoned wine. Before drinking, he blessed the wine in the name of Christ – and at his words the poison emerged from the drink in the form of a green snake.
