Saint John is commemorated in the Greek calendar on 18 July (new style), in a list of venerable saints: Barlaam, Onesiphorus, Pambo and John.

Of one of his companions in the commemoration, Saint Barlaam, the synaxarion shows that he was a recluse near Antioch. It is not said which John is meant; the sources consulted preserve no further details.
