John Gill
Therefore that disciple whom Jesus loved,.... Which was John the Evangelist and Apostle, the writer of this Gospel: saith unto Peter, it is the Lord; which two disciples were very intimate with each other, and communicated their thoughts freely to one another.

Matthew Henry
The evangelist seemed to have concluded his history with the foregoing chapter; but (as St. Paul sometimes in his epistles), new matter occurring, he begins again.
