Who is the disciple that lay his head on Jesus' bosom in John chapter 13 verse 23?
In the fourth gospel, this was the "disciple whom Jesus loved". We do not know who the "disciple whom Jesus loved" was meant to be. Irenaeus identified him as being John, a view that is still held by conservative Christians today, and drew the conclusion that John was the author of this gospel, which had previously been anonymous. This was speculation and, today, most scholars doubt that the author really was John.A consistent theme of John's Gospel is that Peter was always compared unfavourably with the "disciple whom Jesus loved". It seems likely that the real author of John was troubled by the reverence given to Peter, and wanted to portray him as no more than a disciple, so as to get the focus back on Jesus. He did not want to create another personality cult in place of that of Peter. By choosing an anonymous disciple, he ensured that this disciple coud not be worshipped. By calling him the "disciple whom Jesus loved" he made it clear that there was a disciple much greater than Peter, without appearing to disparage Peter. The scene in John 13:23 serves to emphasise the affection that Jesus felt for this disciple. So, the "disciple whom Jesus loved" is likely to have been no more than a literary invention.

Was Jesus talking to John the Baptist when he said 'behold thy mother'?
The story of the disciple, at the foot of the cross occurs only in John's Gospel. The other gospels say that Mary and those of Jesus' acquaintance stood afar off, leaving no room for Mary or any disciple to be near the cross. During the second century, the Church Fathers also wondered who this disciple was, whom Jesus loved. They noticed that the apostle John was never mentioned in this gospel, although John was one of the most important disciples in the other gospels. They then came to the conclusion that the 'disciple whom Jesus loved' must have been John. They took this a step further. The gospel had been written anonymously and they needed to establish, to their own satisfaction, who probably wrote it. They surmised that the author, out of modesty, had chosen not to write about himself in the book and that this gospel was written by the same disciple, John. In fact, we do not know who wrote this gospel, in spite of it now being called John's Gospel, and we do not know who the author had in mind when he wrote of the 'disciple whom Jesus loved'. The unnamed disciple was not John the Baptist, the apostle John or any real person. He was really a literary creation of the Gospel's author, as evidenced by the quite contradictory stories in the other gospels.
Which disciple lied about being Christ's disciple?
