re: In the Easter gospel...why is Andrew’s name redacted?

quote:

“the other disciple whom Jesus loved”? It’s Andrew who’s Peter’s brother

It isn't Andrew, it's John. My understanding is that, when recounting things via written word, referring to oneself in the third person and not by name was a common thing in the time that the Gospel of John was written.

It is John, not Andrew.
