Jn 21:20-25

One word, beloved, gives us insight into the nature of this disciple and of the relationship he had with Jesus. What begins with focus on the one who is to betray seems to move to confusion about what the future holds for John. In a sense, Jesus is telling Peter to stop second guessing Jesus. God’s plan is in place unfolding in each one of the disciples.

Beloved disciple, you did not question or doubt. You knew him and loved him with your whole heart. Would that I could do the same. For that I pray.
