Since [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_the_Apostle John] was the youngest of the twelve and so closely associated with [[Jesus]] in his [[family]] affairs, he was very dear to [[the Master]], but it cannot be truthfully said that he was " the disciple whom Jesus loved. "[http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Gospel_of_John#Chapter_13] You would hardly suspect such a [[magnanimous]] [[personality]] as [[Jesus]] to be [[guilty]] of showing favoritism, of loving one of his [[apostles]] more than the others. The [[fact]] that John was one of the [[three]] personal aides of Jesus lent further color to this mistaken [[idea]], not to mention that John, along with his brother [[James, the Apostle|James]], had known [[Jesus]] longer than the others.

[[Peter, the Apostle|Peter]], [[James, the Apostle|James]], and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_the_Apostle John] were assigned as [[personal]] aides to [[Jesus]] soon after they became [[apostles]]. Shortly after the selection of the twelve and at the time [[Jesus]] appointed [[Andrew, the Apostle|Andrew]] to act as director of the group, he said to him: " And now I [[desire]] that you assign two or three of your associates to be with me and to remain by my side, to [[comfort]] me and to minister to my daily needs. " And [[Andrew, the Apostle|Andrew]] thought best to select for this special [[duty]] the next three first-chosen [[apostles]]. He would have liked to [[volunteer]] for such a [[blessed]] [[service]] himself, but [[the Master]] had already given him his commission; so he immediately directed that [[Peter, the Apostle|Peter]], [[James, the Apostle|James]], and John attach themselves to [[Jesus]].
