Did John lean on the breast of Jesus at the table?
In John's gospel, the "disciple whom Jesus loved" leaned on the breast of Jesus. Late in the second century, Ireneus identified the "disciple whom Jesus loved"as John, one of the twelve, as a result of which the fourth gospel became known as John's Gospel. The scene in which the "disciple whom Jesus loved" leaned on Jesus is not mentioned in any of the earlier gospels, but if Ireneus was correct, then we could say that it was John.
How did the author of John's Gospel refer to himself in the text?
The author of John's gospel, traditionally John himself, refers to himself as "the disciple whom Jesus loved" or "the one Jesus loved" depending on the translation. This passage is found in John 13:23. You can tell that the name "John" is missing from the text and from the context in the other gospels you can infer that the disciple in question is John.John 13:23 - One of them, the disciple whom Jesus loved, was reclining next to him.The author of John's Gospel was originally anonymous and for decades, the Church Fathers sought to establish who, in their view, probably wrote the fourth gospel. Finally they decided that the author must be the disciple referred to as "the disciple whom Jesus loved," saying that modesty prevented him from using his own name. They then decided that the beloved disciple was probably John, son of Zebedee, since John was not otherwise mentioned.However, modern New Testament scholars believe that John was not the author of the gospel that now bears his name. They say that the gospel could not have been written by an eyewitness to the life and mission of Jesus.

In John's Gospel, Jesus told "the disciple whom Jesus loved" to care for his mother, Mary, and told his mother, this is your son.

This instruction is missing from the synoptic gospels, where the disciple was not present at the crucifixion.

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.
With whom did the ritual of baptism originate?
John the Baptist was baptising people in the early years of Jesus' life. He baptised Jesus.
How many times does John mention himself by name in the Gospels?
The Gospel now known as John's Gospel does not mention the disciple John, but does mention "the sons of Zebedee", a reference that would include the disciple John, in verse 21:2. The Gospel also mentions a 'disciple whom Jesus loved', whom the second-century Church Fathers decided was also a reference to the disciple John. The New Testament were originally written anonymously, so we do not really know who wrote John's Gospel or whether it had anything to do with John at all. When the Church Fathers were attempting to establish who probably wrote each of the gospels, they felt that the reference to the 'disciple whom Jesus loved' was modesty on the part of the author, and that this was the author himself. Therefore, they said, the author was John.
How was John described as in the Bible?
John the Baptist was described by Jesus as the greatest man before Jesus: "Verily I say unto you, Among them that are born of women there hath not risen a greater than John the Baptist: notwithstanding he that is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he." (Matthew 11.11) John the apostle and James his brother were called "The sons of thunder" by Jesus (Mark 3.17), but John described himself as five time in his gospel as 'the disciple whom Jesus loved' (John 13.23; 19.26; 20.2; 21.7; 21.20)
Who was the disciples whom Jesus loved?
There is John the Baptist and the beloved John. In the book of John, the beloved John refers to himself in the third person. He is the author of the book and he was proclaiming that Jesus loves him personally but in the third person. He was the one that leaned on Jesus to ask who would betray him and throughout the book of John he refers to himself as the one whom Jesus loved. John 21:20 (Whole Chapter)[ Jesus and the Beloved Apostle ] Peter turned and saw [John 21:7 ] the disciple whom Jesus loved following them, [John 13:25] the one who had been reclining at table close to him and had said, "Lord, who is it that is going to betray you?" However, we must establish just what was meant by 'being loved'. The Greek word used was 'agape' which means 'a deep platonic caring for' rather than 'love' as we describe it in Western terms. So the love Jesus had for John was not a gay sexual love, neither was it a 'brotherly' love as you would get within a family - instead it was a deep self-giving affection between the two close friends.
