Best Answer

The apostle John is never mentioned in the Gospel of John. An unknown disciple, simply described as the "disciple whom Jesus loved" is mentioned five times. During the late second century, it was noticed that John was never mentioned in this Gospel and it was suggested that the "disciple whom Jesus loved" might have referred to John, and this became a conviction that has been passed down through the centuries.

John refers to himself multiple times in the Gospel of John, often as "the disciple whom Jesus loved" or simply as "the disciple." It is estimated that he refers to himself in this way around 20 times throughout the Gospel.

Are there evidences outside the Bible that John the author of the fourth Gospel was a historical person?

The fourth gospel was written anonymously and attributed to the disciple John, later in the second century, on the grounds that the "disciple whom Jesus loved" seemed to refer to John and the Church Fathers believed the author may have been referring to himself when saying "disciple whom Jesus loved". Outside the Bible, there is no evidence that the disciple John was a historical person, and we do not know who the author of John's Gospel really was.
