Have you heard of the book "The Disciple Whom Jesus Loved" that suggests Lazarus as being the "the one Jesus loved" rather than John? [John 11:3-5, John 13:23, John 13:1, John 21:7, John 21:23-25].
Caller attempts to make the case that the "disciple whom Jesus loved" was someone other than John the Apostle (Caller thinks it's Lazarus.) [John 21:7, John 21:20, Acts 4:13, John 11:5].
