1 | Who is "the disciple whom Jesus loved"? | John 21:20 | EdB | 82059 | ||
Radioman2 Your right in the mention of the “the disciple who Jesus loved” in this verse is talking about John. What I meant by exclusivity was this, John didn’t use this expression to establish himself as the only disciple Jesus loved. Many take what I consider to be John's humble refusal to use his own name, rather describing himself as the one who Jesus loved, as a statement or proclamation that Jesus only loved John. John’s verbiage simply does not establish or make that point. In fact in John 13:23 similar verbiage reads about John “one of His disciples, whom Jesus loved.” NASB which to me shows John is one of disciple all of which Jesus loved. Concerning MacArthur's statements about allegory I certainly agree but I fail to see how or what that had to do with this verse, since there is certainly no allegory present here. I hope I didn't somehow imply there was. EdB |

EdB: You write: "What I meant by exclusivity was this, John didn’t use this expression to establish himself as the only disciple Jesus loved." I agree with you 100 percent. Having read your post, now I understand what you meant and I must agree with you. Grace and peace, Radioman2 |
