Additional info: Beloved disciple is a term in John's Gospel for a disciple for whom Jesus had deep feelings; variously identified as Lazarus, an anonymous source or author of the Gospel, an idealized disciple, or John's reference to himself without using his own name. Church tradition and interpretation of biblical evidence appear to point to John.

Of all of "Jesus' disciples his beloved was his brother. It is clear when it is said that "I am not come but unto the lost sheep of the house Israel".Matthew16v24. Because Jesus was sent by the father to convert the wayward son. For him to accomplish such task that he was beloved by Jesus.

The 'beloved disciple' appears several times in John's Gospel as a counterpoint to the apostle Peter. Whenever the two disciples appear together, the beloved disciple always manages to better Peter. Second-century Church Fathers noticed that the disciple John was not mentioned in this gospel and so decided that the unknown disciple must be John. Up to that point, the fourth gospel was anonymous, and the Church Fathers took the next step of assigning it to John on the dubious assumption that he had not used his own name in the Gospel out of modesty.

Apart from the second-century hypothesis, we do not know who the beloved disciple was.
