Maybe there's a method to the purpose of not mentioning the beloved disciple as being John. a leap of faith it could be, that it was John the beloved disciple. I've notice not everything is spelled out directly, for a example Joseph isn't mentioned again after Joseph and Mary and Jesus had gone to the annual festival when Jesus was 12 years old. What happen, something happened because on the cross Jesus said to the beloved disciple here's your mother now, take her into your home. Joseph and Mary was married at some point, wouldn't Joseph had still taken care of his wife Mary.
