It says that in a couple of the Gospels. I'd have to look it up to say where. I was wondering who this is referring to. If he has two names, what are they?

The gospel of John uses the term "the disciple whom Jesus loved"...it refers to the apostle John according to many scholars.

Here are the places in the Bible where the expression is used:

Now there was leaning on Jesus' bosom one of his disciples, whom Jesus loved.

This is in the book of John. Many people believe that John was talking about himself, when he speaks of the disciple whom Jesus loved.

Jesus loved all of His deciples.

Jhn 15:9 ¶ As the Father hath loved me, so have I loved you: continue ye in my love.

Jhn 15:10 If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love.

Jhn 15:11 These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you, and [that] your joy might be full.

Jhn 15:12 This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you.

Jhn 15:13 Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.
