Jesus refers to himself as the Son of God in the Bible, specifically in the Gospel of John, chapter 10, verse 36.
How many times does John refer to himself in the Gospel of John?
The apostle John is never mentioned in the Gospel of John. An unknown disciple, simply described as the "disciple whom Jesus loved" is mentioned five times. During the late second century, it was noticed that John was never mentioned in this Gospel and it was suggested that the "disciple whom Jesus loved" might have referred to John, and this became a conviction that has been passed down through the centuries.
Why does John not mention himself by name in the Gospel of John?
The short answer is that John does not mention himself by name in the Gospel of John because John did not write that Gospel. It was written anonymously and only attributed to John by the Church Fathers later in the second century, when they were attempting to decide who probably wrote each of the New Testament gospels. A slightly fuller anwer is that the Church Fathers, puzzled at the lack of evidence as to who wrote this Gospel, saw that a 'disciple whom Jesus loved' was a key character in this Gospel. They decided that this disciple must be the author, who must have just been too modest to use his own name. They then noted that the apostle John was not mentioned any where in this Gospel, and decided that John was the missing disciple. Thus, on supposition and quite limited evidence, John became the author of the fourth gospel.
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.

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.
