This week’s readings focus on the “disciple whom Jesus loved,” also known as the Beloved Disciple.  According to John 21:20-24, the Beloved disciple is the author of the Gospel of John. (Or, perhaps he was the source of the testimony written down by another).  The Beloved Disciple was an important figure in certain early Christian communities.  These communities particularly treasured the Gospel of John and the letters 1, 2, and 3 John.
