It is this disciple who testifies to these things
May 17, 2024 4:14 pm
The Gospel of John ends with a description of “this disciple who testifies to these things and has written them” (v 24). It is his remembrance and perspective of Jesus that are contained in the Gospel, quite different from, but complementing, the testimony of the Synoptic Gospels. He is known as “the disciple whom Jesus loved” (Jn 13:23; 20:2; 21:7; 21:20), hence “the Beloved Disciple.” Tradition has associated him with John, a son of Zebedee and the brother of James, who is celebrated in the liturgy as Apostle and Evangelist. Though he probably did not end up by shedding his blood for the faith, unlike Peter and the rest of the Apostles, his testimony as the source or writer of the Fourth Gospel is beyond par. Our knowledge of Jesus “in the beginning with God” (1:2) comes from him, complementing what Paul writes of Jesus: that “he was in the form of God” (Phil 2:6), that “he is before all things” (Col 1:17) and that “all things were created through him” (Col 1:16).
