The Identity of the Beloved Disciple in John's Gospel
This chapter discusses the question of who the beloved disciple is in John's gospel. The author of John's gospel deliberately keeps the identity of the beloved disciple a secret, but expects the audience to know who he is. The chapter also mentions a story in John 21 where Peter asks Jesus about the beloved disciple's fate, leading some in the early Christian community to believe that the beloved disciple would never die.
