The phrase "the disciple whom Jesus loved" (Ancient Greek: ὁ μαθητὴς ὃν ἠγάπα ὁ Ἰησοῦς, romanized: ho mathētēs hon ēgapā ho Iēsous) or, in John 20:2; "the other disciple whom Jesus loved" (τὸν ἄλλον μαθητὴν ὃν ἐφίλει ὁ Ἰησοῦς, ton allon mathētēn hon ephilei ho Iēsous), is used six times in the Gospel of John, [1] but in ...
John 21:24 claims that the Gospel of John is based on the written testimony of this disciple. The disciple whom Jesus loved is specifically referred to six times in the Gospel of John: It is this disciple who, while reclining beside Jesus at the Last Supper, asks Jesus, after being requested by Peter to do so, who it is that will betray him. [40]
John 20:8 is the eighth verse of the twentieth chapter of the Gospel of John in the New Testament of the Christian Bible. Peter and the Beloved Disciple are examining Jesus's empty tomb. Peter has been inside the tomb since John 20:6, while the Beloved Disciple had been examining it from outside. In this verse the Beloved Disciple enters the tomb.
John 20:2 is the second verse of the twentieth chapter of the Gospel of John in the New Testament. Mary Magdalene has just discovered that the tomb of Jesus has been opened. In this verse she seeks out and tells this news to Peter and the "disciple whom Jesus loved".
The Gospel of John, like all the gospels, is anonymous. [14] John 21:22 [15] references a disciple whom Jesus loved and John 21:24–25 [16] says: "This is the disciple who is testifying to these things and has written them, and we know that his testimony is true". [11]
The part about the disciple whom Jesus loved (John 21:20–24) 'underlines the authority of the special tradition of this gospel as the report of an eyewitness.' [8] In particular, 21:24 shows a close resemblance to the earlier comment about the reliability of the eyewitness in John 19:35. [8]
The formal introduction of the Beloved Disciple is a “stunningly apparent” stroke of "narrative genius", [30] for he is introduced immediately after Jesus demonstrates his love for the disciples in the act of washing the disciples' feet (John 13:1–20) and immediately before the commandment to “love one another just as I have loved you” .
Jesus' promise here is given to the whole group of disciples (the verb is plural), [3] parallel to the promise in Matthew 16:19; Matthew 18:18. [4] The disciples' power to forgive sins is linked to the gift of the Spirit in John 20:22, and not in human power. [3]
