AMPLIFIED 2015 | John 18:16 but Peter was standing outside at the door. So the other disciple (John), who was known to the high priest, went out and spoke to the doorkeeper, and brought Peter inside. [Matt 26:69-75; Mark 14:66-72; Luke 22:55-62] |
Bible Question: Where in the Bible is the other disciple known to the high priest is referred to or implies John; what verse of scripture? |
Bible Answer: Greetings Edd, John, the author of this Gospel, mentions himself in an autobiographical sense as the disciple "whom Jesus loved" (13:23; 19:26; 20:2; 21:7,20) and the "other disciple" (18:15-16; 19:27; 20:2-4,8) to carefully avoid mention of his name, even though his original readers clearly understood that he was the author (21:24). John's reference to himself in the third person both shows his deep, personal abasement in light of his Savior and his relationship to his Savior. As for John being known to Caiaphas, who was high priest, here is the following quote: "18:16 known to the high priest. Apparently, John was more than just an acquaintance, because the term for "known" can mean a friend (Luke 2:44). The fact that he mentioned Nicodemus (3:1) and Joseph (19:38) may indicate his knowledge of other prominent Jews." (1) Perhaps as a son of Zebedee (Matt. 10:2-4) and later 'pillar' of the church (Gal. 2:9), John was relatively well 'known of' within Jerusalem and well connected socially.
