  Disciple whom Jesus loved - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The phrase the disciple whom Jesus loved or Beloved Disciple is used several times in the Gospel of John, but in none of the other accounts of Jesus.
Some writers even suggest that the Beloved Disciple figure in the Gospel of John is Mary Magdalene, even though Mary is her own figure in the gospel and appears with the Disciple, such as in John 20.
In the Gospel of Thomas, Judas Thomas is the disciple taken aside by Jesus.

 Who was the disciple whom Jesus loved?
The disciple whom Jesus loved is John, the son of Zebedee and brother of James.
While Jesus did not promise the disciple whom He loved long life, it would be highly unusual for Jesus to say, "If I want him to remain alive until I return, what is that to you?" if the disciple whom He loved was going to be the first disciple to die.
Jesus and John were essentially “best friends.” Jesus entrusted John with the care of His mother, gave John the vision of the transfiguration, allowed John to witness His most amazing miracles, and later gave John the Book of Revelation.

 Gospel of John - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This date is assumed in large part because John 21, the so-called "appendix" to John, is largely concerned with explaining the death of the "beloved disciple," probably the leader of the Johannine community that produced the text.
Further arguments that Jesus was also known as a "Divine Man, Wonder-worker (One who is favored by the Gods), or even a Sorcerer" in the late 3rd and 4th centuries have also been given as an explanation of artistic representations of Jesus with a magic wand.
Various speeches of Jesus are absent, including all of the Sermon on the Mount and the instructions that Jesus gave to his disciples when he sent them out throughout the country to heal and preach (as in Matthew 10).

 THE DISCIPLE WHOM JESUS LOVED -- "Paul's Grace Message" Post
As Jesus hung on the cross, and His mother, Mary, was there at the foot of the cross looking on, John, “the disciple whom Jesus loved,” was standing there at her side, to comfort and support her (John 19:26).

 lectio difficilior - Magdalene and the Disciple Jesus loved (Esther A. de Boer)
Jesus’ words to his mother and the disciple he loved, together with their reaction to them, constitute the beginning of the growing ‘koinonia’ of those who follow Jesus.
The anonymity of Mary Magdalene as the disciple Jesus loved, the second criterion, as we argued earlier, may be explained by the fact that she is a female disciple.
The community, who found its identity in the testimony of the disciple Jesus loved, could have feared the death of Mary Magdalene (or could have been traumatized by the death of Mary Magdalene), since she is the only one to whom Jesus revealed the precise meaning of his resurrection.

 Disciple Jesus Loved Lazarus
The one “whom Jesus loved” is seen for the first time in the following chapter (John 13:23), sitting at a table with Jesus, and he remains prominent in the life of Jesus through the end of this gospel.
Unlike the rest of the disciples who forsook or denied Jesus, the behavior of the one “whom Jesus loved” is quite different.
So while the rest of the disciples are seen acting out of fear, it is reasonable to expect Lazarus to behave differently towards Jesus despite the fear of those dark hours, which is precisely how we see the one “whom Jesus loved” acting.

 Disciple Whom Jesus Loved
While the Gospel of John does not specifically identify its author, and "the disciple whom Jesus loved" is nowhere explicitly named in Scripture, the early Christians universally recognize John as the author of the Gospel and "the disciple whom Jesus loved." This is consistent with internal evidence in the Gospel of John
John 19:26-27 says, "When Jesus saw his mother there, and the disciple whom he loved standing nearby, he said to his mother, 'Dear woman, here is your son,' and to the disciple, 'Here is your mother.' From that time on, this disciple took her into his home."
It is interesting that John referred to himself as "the disciple whom Jesus loved." Love was a recurring theme in much of John's writings, this from a man who had learned about love from the master teacher of love.

 The Disciple Whom Jesus Kept On Loving
For example, it is only the apostle John who calls himself “the disciple whom Jesus loved” (John 13:23; 19:26; 20:2; 21:20).
Thinking back to his impetuous relationship with the Lord, to his unworthiness even to be called a follower of Christ, he simply wrote, “the disciple whom Jesus kept on loving.” The description implies, not arrogance (as if he meant “the disciple whom Jesus loved more than the others”), but a profound sense of divine grace.
We are but disciples whom Jesus keeps on loving, and loving, and loving.

 CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: St. John the Evangelist
According to the usual and entirely probable explanation they became, however, for a time disciples of John the Baptist, and were called by Christ from the circle of John's followers, together with Peter and Andrew, to become His disciples (John 1:35-42).
The first disciples returned with their new Master from the Jordan to Galilee and apparently both John and the others remained for some time with Jesus (cf.
After the Resurrection John with Peter was the first of the disciples to hasten to the grave and he was the first to believe that Christ had truly risen (John 20:2-10).
