Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Disciple Whom Jesus Loved: With Some Remarks on the Passages Where These Words Are Used
Here, however, some one may ask whether, by using this title, he is not placing himself above the other disciples, as held in higher regard than the rest of the twelve. The answer which can fairly be made to this question is that while Jesus loved him with a special and tender love, it does not appear that this title was given him until after the resur rection; and indeed perhaps not until years after that event, and even When a number of the old apostles may have been called to be with Christ. The title, again, must have been affixed to him by others who had heard of the especial regard in which Jesus held him. If this gospel was the latest of the four in its publication, as can scarcely admit of a doubt, it might disclose recollections which at an earlier period would not per haps have been given to the world.
