The two men rush to the empty tomb and the Beloved Disciple is the first to reach the empty tomb. However, Peter is the first to enter. [42] In John 21, the last chapter of the Gospel of John, the Beloved Disciple is one of seven fishermen involved in the miraculous catch of 153 fish. [49] [50]

The Acts of John in Rome is a 4th-century Christian apocryphal text that presents stories about the Apostle John.The text, written in Greek, [1] is believed to be based on orally handed down stories [1] [2] (and in particular collected stories recounted in the writings of Eusebius of Caesarea) [2] about the works of John in Rome.
The First Epistle of John stands out from the others due to its form, but they're united by language, style, contents, themes, and worldview. [9] The Second and Third Epistles of John are composed as regular greco-roman letters, with greetings and endings, while the First Epistle of John lacks such characteristic markings and instead resembles a sermon or an exhoratory speech.
