Bible Question: Who is the Beloved Disciple? Or The Disciple that Jesus Loved? |
Bible Answer: All the desciples were love by Christ: Joh 13:34 A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another. It is John maybe the most (sweet, very close because he young like youngest son to his father) Easton Bible Dictionary Entry on: (3.) THE APOSTLE, brother of James the "Greater" (Mt 4:21; 10:2; He was the disciple whom Jesus loved. In zeal and intensity of character he was a "Boanerges" (Mr 3:17). This spirit once and again broke out (Mt 20:20-24; Mr 10:35-41; Lu 9:49,54). At the betrayal he and Peter follow Christ afar off, while the others betake themselves to hasty flight (Joh 18:15). At the trial he follows Christ into the council chamber, and thence to the praetorium (Joh 18:16,19,28) and to the place of crucifixion (19:26, 27). To him and Peter, Mary first conveys tidings of the resurrection (Joh 20:2), and they are the first to go and see what her strange words mean. After the resurrection he and Peter again return to the Sea of Galilee, where the Lord reveals himself to them (Joh 21:1,7). We find Peter and John frequently after this together (Ac 3:1; 4:13). John remained apparently in Jerusalem as the leader of the church there (Ac 15:6; Ga 2:9). His subsequent history is unrecorded. He was not there, however, at the time of Paul's last visit (Ac 21:15-40). He appears to have retired to Ephesus, but at what time is unknown. The seven churches of Asia were the objects of his special care (Re 1:11). He suffered under persecution, and was banished to Patmos (Re 1:9); whence he again returned to Ephesus, where he died, probably about A.D. 98, having outlived all or nearly all the friends and companions even of his maturer years. There are many interesting traditions regarding John during his residence at Ephesus, but these cannot claim the character of historical truth. God bless, |
