It means that while Jesus had a close friendship and love for everyone, he was especially close to John. They were very close friends. These two men had a strong bond and love for each other that was based on God's righteous principles. (John 8:44; 7:5

Which disciples were closest to Jesus?

A:In the synoptic gospels, Peter was closest to Jesus, followed by James and John. In John's Gospel, an unknown disciple known only as the "disciple whom Jesus loved," was clearly the closest to Jesus. The second-century Church Fathers, noticing that the apostle John was never mentioned by name in the fourth gospel, decided that the beloved disciple must have been John. They then concluded that the author of the previously anonymous gospel must also have been John. John Carroll (The Existential Jesus) points out that Peter and the 'disciple whom Jesus loved' are paired in four of the five episodes in which the disciple appears, and in each case, Peter is shown up badly. In the fifth episode, the disciple is at the foot of the cross, with Peter absent. This leads to the conclusion that the beloved disciple was not a real person, but a literary creation. The author was concerned with the excessive veneration of Peter at the time this gospel was written, in the early part of the second century.A:Jesus was closest to Peter, John (the beloved disciple), and James the brother of John. ANSWER:The three of the Twelve apostles closest to Jesus, were Peter, James son of Zebedee, and John son of Zebedee.These three were strongest in faith, and were not present when the nine others failed to cure the possessed boy, Luke 9:40.They were given secret teachings, Mark 13:3; and secret knowledge of healing, Mark 5:37.They were with Jesus at the transfiguration - Matthew 17:1, Mark 9:2; and Jesus asked them to be with him, when he prayed for strength for his impending execution on the Cross, at Mark 14:33.These three of the Twelve apostles were the head leaders delegated for the early Christian community - Galatians 2:9.

Who wrote the other gospels?

That depends. What do you mean by "other?" The four gospels were written by the Apostle Matthew, John Mark, who received much of his account from the Apostle Peter, Luke, who served as a doctor and followed Jesus, and John the Revelator, who replaced every mention of his name with "The disciple whom Jesus loved." There are a few other gospels, for example in the Catholic Bible, there's a gospel that Thomas (the Doubter) wrote.
