John referred to himself as the disciple that Jesus loved. See John 21:7. John is also called 'John the Beloved' for this same reason. It is clear that Jesus loved all of His apostles as they were chosen by God. John being the youngest, may have gotten more of Jesus' attention than did the others being older men.
