AnswerLuke was not a disciple, he was a companion of Paul the apostle. Moreover, most scholars agree that Luke was not really the author of the Gospel attributed to him later in the second century. So, we can not say he was doing anything, nor that he was called by Jesus.

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.


Who was the apostle who asked for Jesus' body?

AnswerThe gospels are in agreement that a person called Joseph of Arimathea asked Herod for the body of Jesus. However, there is no agreement that Joseph was actually a disciple, rather than a pious Jew for whom it was necessary to end the crucifixion before the start of the Passover.Mark's Gospel says that Joseph was an honourable counsellor and makes no suggestion that he was a disciple of Jesus. Matthew's Gospel says that Joseph was a rich man and a disciple of Jesus. Luke's Gospel says that Joseph was a counsellor and a good man from the city of Arimathea but, like Mark, does not say that he was a disciple. John's Gospel says that Joseph was a disciple of Jesus. The location of the city of Arimathea has not been established.


Who stood with John at the foot of the cross?

it wasnt a disciple, it was SalomeThe Gospel According to John Says:The only disciple that we know was present at the Crucifixion was the beloved disciple, traditionally thought to be John. He was standing with Mary, the mother of Jesus, her sister, and Mary Magdalene. When Jesus saw Mary, His mother, standing with John, he said, "Woman, behold thy son!" Then he said to John, "Behold thy mother!" From that time John took Mary into his home (John 19:26-27).


What is the name of the only disciple who stood at the foot of the cross?

The ealiest of the gospels, The Gospel According to St Mark, is clear in that none of the disciples was at the crucifixion, not even with the women who looked from afar off, among them Mary.The Gospel According to St Matthew says only that women looked from afar off. Once again it appears that none of the disciples was willing to watch, even from a distance.The Gospel According to St Luke says that those of his acquaintance stood afar off with the women. In this gospel, there may have been disciples with the women, but the gospel does not name them.The Gospel According to St John says that the disciple whom Jesus loved stood with the women at the cross itself. Nowhere is the disciple whom Jesus loved identified, but Christian tradition holds him to be John.

Was John the only disciple at the crucifixion of Jesus?

A:There is no easy answer to this question. The synoptic gospels make it clear that those of Jesus' acquaintance, including his mother Mary, looked from afar off; there was no disciple or friend of Jesus at his crucifixion. However, John's Gospel says that the 'disciple whom Jesus loved', alone of the disciples, stood at the foot of the cross with Mary. In this gospel, Jesus told the beloved disciple to look after Mary like his own mother. There was speculation from the time the fourth gospel was written as to just who this beloved disciple was. As with all the New Testament gospels, this gospel was originally anonymous. Later in the fourth century, after authors had been attributed to the other gospels, the Church Fathers noticed that the apostle John was not mentioned in the last gospel. They decided that the answer must be that this disciple was John. They then decided that the same disciple must have been the author of the gospel, being too modest to use his own name for this most important and beloved disciple. Thus, on the basis of speculation alone, the disciple at the foot of the cross was John, but only in the gospel now known as John's Gospel.


Was John closest to Christ?

------------------------ John's Gospel talks of a 'disciple whom Jesus loved' but does not identify that disciple. The second-century Church Fathers noticed that whenever the book talks about the disciple, it does not mention John and, on this evidence alone, decided that this disciple must therefore be John. Like all the New Testament Gospels, John's Gospel was written anonymously, but the Church Fathers came to the conclusion that the author must be the 'disciple whom Jesus loved' and, since they had decided this disciple to be John, the Gospel author was the disciple John. The second century reasoning was merely conjecture and is not accepted by modern biblical scholars. If the 'disciple whom Jesus loved' was closest to Jesus, we still do not know who that disciple was.


Who was John according to the gospel?

John 13:23New International Version (NIV)23 One of them, the disciple whom Jesus loved, was reclining next to him.
