Was It Lazarus or John Who Was the Unnamed Disciple Whom “Jesus Loved” In The Gospel?

I cannot believe that no one has answered this for you in all this time. Here is the correct answer.

1st- NO on Lazarus (he may have been an early disciple, BUT WAS NOT one of the "Twelve Aposltes"), and was only mentioned in one case (John 11:5), where Jesus had a high regard and "cared for" (loved) the entire family of Lazarus.

NEXT: the Disciple Whom “Jesus Loved” is JOHN, the brother of James (one of the "four fisherman"), and one of the 1st four disciples called by Jesus (one of the "Twelve Aposltes"). The evidence in scripture is more favorable for this being true.

I've just finished a HubPages series of articles on the Apostles, where the "beloved disciple" is featured in more detail.

Hope that helps, with blessings... Rev.Ted.

We art sure it was Saint John. He wrote what we callest "The Book of Love". He wrote a Gospel, 3 epistles, and Revelations.

Jesus treasured John because John's heart was purified with Love.

Jesus spoke seldom of John. We believe this was because He didst not desire to show favortism.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
