Anyone notice that John is the only one that refers to John being “the disciple whom Jesus loved?” None of the others refer to him as that. Seems a bit…shady, if you ask me. If I were to start referring to myself as “the one Jesus loves” people might be a bit taken aback. It’s true. Jesus does love me but referring to myself might make people wonder about me a bit.

Also, what’s with him pointing out that he won the race to the tomb. Both were running, but the other disciple outran Peter and reached the tomb first. Did that really need to be said?

OK. And why does Thomas get stuck with the moniker of “Doubting Thomas?” Thomas was an apostle who evangelized the world and was martyred in the name of Christ. But what is he called? “Doubting Thomas.” Seems pretty rough. Thomas should’ve hired some kind of pr firm for rebranding.

I mean, Peter denied Jesus three times but he doesn’t get tagged with “Denying Peter.” And Peter was even called Satan once BY JESUS!!! But that moniker didn’t stick. Seems pretty tough on Thomas, if you ask me.
