The book of John

Post by Deborah »

Just wondering.
The book of John seem to be the biggest record of Jesus and what he did and said. Would this be because it's author knew Jesus best you think?
Church tradition tells us that when John, son of Zebadee and brother of James was an old man, his disciples would carry him to church in their arms.
He would simply say, “Little children, love one another”
After a time his disciples wearied at always hearing these same words and asked “Master why do you always say this?
He replied, “it is the Lords command, and if done, it is enough”

I really don't know but I can say that they called John "the beloved".
