Favorite

I'm new here, and I could not find a forum that consists of just questions about the bible...please let me know if there is a place like that here!

In the meantime, here is my question.....

Who was Jesus's "favorite disciple?"

I've seen this mentioned in a couple of verses in the Bible....

<She ran to Simon Peter and to Jesus' favorite disciple and said, "They have taken the Lord from the tomb! We don't know where they have put him.">
John 10:2

<Peter turned and saw Jesus' favorite disciple following them. He was the same one who had sat next to Jesus at the meal and had asked, "Lord, who is going to betray you?">
John 21:20

Who was this favorite?

Earliest church tradition teaches Jthe fave was John the apostle, the writer of the gospel you quoted from. he is the disciple who leaned on Jesus's breast at the last supper. Some believe he was the youngest and was only 17 when christ called him to be a disciple.

BTW he is my favorite apostle. I am looking forward to meeting him and talking to him in heaven. I'm sure he'll have some great stories to tell about his experiences with Jesus! John says at the end of his gospel that he witnessed a lot of things that Jesus did that he didn't record.

Cool!

I think John heard so many stories from the mother of Jesus, Mary. All about when Our Lord was a baby and a toddler. Mom's talk that way.
It does show up in his writings.

Peter as he learned his lesson
After denying Christ three times
And that he felt that he wouldn't
Do that to Him, He did eventually
So after Christ asked him three times does he love Jesus
Peter kept saying yes to all three of those times.
How he became an awesome disciple and preacher afterwards!
