I did not find the name of this disciple in the Bible.
John 13:23 states: “Now there was leaning on Jesus’ bosom one of his disciples, whom Jesus loved.”
It was not Simon Peter because the next verse, John 13:24, states: “Simon Peter therefore beckoned to him, that he should ask who it should be of whom he spake.”
John 13:25: “He then lying on Jesus’ breast saith unto him, Lord, who is it?”
John 13:26: “Jesus answered, He it is, to whom I shall give a sop, when I have dipped it. And when he had dipped the sop, he gave it to Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon.” So Judas Iscariot was not the disciple who Jesus loved either.
The name of this disciple is still not stated in John 19:26-27, to wit: “When Jesus therefore saw his mother, and the disciple standing by, whom he loved, he saith unto his moth, Woman, behold thy son! Then saith he to the disciple, Behold thy mother! And from that hour that disciple took her unto his own home.”
