A:John 21:20-22 (KJV): "Then Peter, turning about, seeth the disciple whom Jesus loved following; which also leaned on his breast at supper, and said, Lord, which is he that betrayeth thee? Peter seeing him saith to Jesus, Lord, and what shall this man do? Jesus saith unto him, If I will that he tarry till I come, what is that to thee? follow thou me."

John's Gospel makes several references to an unknown disciple, "the disciple whom Jesus loved," always in conjunction with the disciple Peter and always in some way to the disadvantage of Peter.

During the second century, the Church Fathers noticed that while only the fourth gospel mentions the beloved disciple, it is also the only gospel that does not mention John. They therefore decided that this disciple wads the one called John. They also decided that the author of the fourth gospel must have been John, assuming that he had not used his own name out of modesty.

The scholarly explanation of the beloved disciple and his curious conjunction with Peter is that this disciple was a literary invention created to allow the author of John to play down the importance of Peter to the Christian faith, possibly because, writing in the early second century, he was concerned that the veneration of Peter was beginning to make him appear an equal to Jesus.

When Jesus told Peter "What is that to you? You must follow me," in response to Peter's question about the fate of another disciple, he was referring to the disciple John. Jesus was emphasizing the importance of focusing on one's own journey and relationship with him rather than comparing or worrying about others.
