Have you ever wondered why one disciple of Jesus was singled out in the Bible as the one whom "Jesus loved"? While this "other disciple, whom Jesus loved" had a prominent role in the life of Jesus, it seems that few stop to consider why he referred to himself this way. Some say he did this simply because he was being humble but then wouldn’t this suggest the opposite about a writer that would identify himself by name repeatedly, such as the Apostle John did in the Book of Revelation?

The beloved disciple stood openly by Jesus at the cross so what can account for his curious efforts to conceal his identity in his own gospel? The one-of-a-kind gift from God that the beloved disciple received from Jesus is the key. But the real surprise is that the answer was right there in the Bible, hidden in plain sight.
