Augustine of Hippo (354–430 AD) also believed that John was the beloved disciple, in his Tractates on the Gospel of John.

The anonymous “disciple whom Jesus loved” is identified in the closing verses as the one whose testimony the Gospel bears: “This is the disciple who testifies about these things and has written these things.” [38] Ancient sources invariably identify this disciple with the Evangelist, and many modern scholars agree, though others ...
Jesus and John at the Last Supper, by Valentin de Boulogne. The Gospel of John makes references to the "disciple whom Jesus loved" (John 13:23, [27] John 19:26, [28] John 21:7–20), [29] a phrase which does not occur in the Synoptic Gospels.
