One of several pieces of evidence Tabor offers is a literal interpretation of John 19:26: [52] "Then when Jesus saw His mother and the disciple whom He loved standing by, He said to His mother, Woman, behold your son." However, elsewhere in the Gospel, the beloved disciple refers to the risen Jesus as "the Lord" rather than as "my brother". [53]
In the apocryphal Arabic Infancy Gospel a fact related to this apostle is mentioned. A boy named Simon is bitten by a snake in his hand; he is healed by Jesus, who told the child "you shall be my disciple". The mention ends with the phrase "this is Simon the Cananite, of whom mention is made in the Gospel." [15]
Matthew 27 describes him [a] simply as a rich man and disciple of Jesus, but according to Mark 15, Joseph of Arimathea was "a respected member of the council, who was also himself looking for the kingdom of God". [b] Luke 23 adds that he "had not consented to their decision and action". [c]
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]
James Tabor, in his controversial book The Jesus Dynasty, suggests that Simon was the son of Mary and Clophas. [7] While Robert Eisenman suggests he was Simon Cephas (Simon the Rock), known in Greek as Peter (from petros "rock"), who led the Jewish Christian community after the death of James in 62 CE. [8]
The author of the epistle of James introduces himself as "James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ". [26] He does not identify himself as the brother of Jesus or an apostle or a leader of the church in any way, [18] but one recent study characterises this letter as "the most Jewish text in the New Testament". [27]
