who's Jesus loved saith in bible?

Joh 19:26  When Jesus therefore saw his mother, and the disciple standing by, whom he loved, he saith unto his mother, Woman, behold thy son! 

Joh 20:2  Then she runneth, and cometh to Simon Peter, and to the other disciple, whom Jesus loved, and saith unto them, They have taken away the LORD out of the sepulchre, and we know not where they have laid him. 


Joh 21:7  Therefore that disciple whom Jesus loved saith unto Peter, It is the Lord. Now when Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he girt his fisher's coat unto him, (for he was naked,) and did cast himself into the sea.

This is His testimony and He doesn't know when these things are going to happen?  He knows.  There is no doubt in my mind, He knows.  Because His Father has now shown Him.  Remember He said in the book of John.  I have many things to shows you, but you can't receive them yet.  Not YET.  Now who wrote that?  Is that in Matthew?  No.  Mark?  No.  Luke?  No.  Where do we find that?  In John.  John is the only one that records that Christ said, that I have many things to show you.  Why would John write that in his gospel?  Remember the other gospels were written in the 60's or so.  But John apparently didn't write until later, at least the late 60's or some say all the way into the 90's. 

Matthew, Mark and Luke are called the synoptic gospels.  That's because they all kind of have a chronological story flow of Christ and His ministry and His parables.
John's is different.  That's why he's not included with the other three.  Matthew, Mark and Luke are the synoptic gospels, John has his own gospel. 

John is tying up the loose ends that are not covered in the other gospels.  I mean we've got 5 pages on just what Christ said at the last supper in John.  You go to Matthew or Mark and you've got maybe 5 sentences.  See there is a lot of things being said and one is "I have many things to show you."

John 16:12  I have yet many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now.

Many things!  John wrote that.  Because John is the one that God showed "many things" that have to come to pass.  John remembered that, the other apostles and writers they didn't include that.  They didn't see that being fulfilled, Mark and Matthew didn't see themselves fulfilling that.  John did.  By the time John is writing his letters and his gospel, he's putting together these things.  You don't read this anywhere except John's account.

John 21:19  This He spoke, signifying by what death he would glorify God...

There are some that would suggest that almost this whole chapter 21, might not even be in the Scriptures.  But let's look at it, because it is in here in our Bibles.  [Tischendorf does not have it in his list of spurious passages]

v. 20  Then Peter, turning around, saw the disciple whom Jesus loved (John) following, who also had leaned on His breast at the supper, and said, "Lord, who is the one who betrays You?"

John leaned against Christ, I mean they were close, they were bosom buddies.

v. 21  Peter, seeing him, said to Jesus, "But Lord, what about this man?"

You see He had already said to Peter, "signifying by what death he would glorify God."  I don't think Peter was to happy about that.  He knew that it was inevitable, but was not to happy to hear about it.  He said to Peter...

John 21:18  ...but when you are old, you will stretch out your hands, and another will gird you and carry you where you do not wish.

You are not going to want to go where God's going to make you go.  So Peter says, well what about John?  What's going to happen to your bosom buddy John here?

John 21:22  Jesus said to him, "If I will that he tarry till I come, what is that to you? You follow Me."

A little bit of a put down there.

John 21:23  Then this saying went out among the brethren that this disciple would not die.

But He didn't say to him, that he would not die, but "IF I will that he tarry till I come, what is that to you?"

v. 24  This is the disciple who testifies of these things, and wrote these things; and we know that his testimony is true.

Now John was speaking of himself in the 3rd person in verse 20, "the disciple which Jesus loved."  He didn't say, that was me.  He's got enough humility to say it in the 3rd person "the disciple."  Well he was that disciple.  But you don't find this in any of the other gospels.  Why did he write that?  Because when he wrote it he knew that God was using him for more revelation.  That's why Jesus said, what is it to you if I have John live longer - tarry longer in life, what's that to you if I have other plans for you. 

John looking back at what was said many years before, now writes it down, because he sees the application of it.  He sees the application that "the Spirit will lead you into all Truth."  He sees the application in his own life, "I have many things to say unto you, but you can not receive yet," not now.  But later he did.






Peace...Mark
