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.
Which disciple was Jesus talking about when he told Peter it was none of his concern?
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.

How do we know John was an eyewitness to the arrest and crucifixion of Jesus?
A:The gospels tell us that the apostle John was at the arrest of Jesus, but there is actually no way to know whether he was an eyewitness to the crucifixion of Jesus. Certainly, if we knew that the 'disciple whom Jesus loved', found only in John's Gospel, had actually been the apostle John, we could then say that this gospel tells us that John was at the foot of the cross and therefore an eyewitness to the crucifixion. However, the association of the beloved disciple with John was only made late in the second century, and only on a speculative basis. Moreover, there is another problem, no matter who the beloved disciple was. The synoptic gospels make it quite clear that Mary, mother of Jesus, and those of his acquaintance watched from afar off, but John's Gospel says that Mary and the beloved disciple were at the foot of the cross and that Jesus charged the disciple with looking after Mary like his own mother. Both accounts could not be true, and it seems likely that John's account was an elaboration of the earlier accounts.
