Bible Question: Who was the disciple that was descibed as the disciple that Jesus loved in versus 23? |
Bible Answer: Hello nekkie72, John is referring to himself in this verse as he does in other instances. However, this does not mean in any way that Jesus loved John more than the others or that he did not love the others at all. Actually I find this phrase somewhat egotistical for John, considering that he, his mother and james his brother, approached Jesus asking that they would sit on on his right and left in the kingdom of heaven. Well, if this helps at all, hoo rah. |
