Rare words are the text's own signal of a deliberate thread: the fewer the occurrences, the more the places it appears belong together.

John 19:26When Jesus saw His mother and the disciple whom He loved standing nearby, He said to His mother, “Woman, here is your son.”Revelation 1:2who testifies to everything he saw. This is the word of God and the testimony of Jesus Christ.John 19:35The one who saw it has testified to this, and his testimony is true. He knows that he is telling the truth, so that you also may believe.John 15:27And you also must testify, because you have been with Me from the beginning.1 John 5:13I have written these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, so that you may know that you have eternal life.1 John 5:6This is the One who came by water and blood, Jesus Christ—not by water alone, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit who testifies to this, because the Spirit is the truth.3 John 1:12Demetrius has received a good testimony from everyone, and from the truth itself. We also testify for him, and you know that our testimony is true.1 John 1:1–2That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our own eyes, which we have gazed upon and touched with our own hands—this is the Word of life.John 20:2So she came running to Simon Peter and the other disciple, the one whom Jesus loved. “They have taken the Lord out of the tomb,” she said, “and we do not know where they have put Him!”John 21:7Then the disciple whom Jesus loved said to Peter, “It is the Lord!” As soon as Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he put on his outer garment (for he had removed it) and jumped into the sea.John 21:20Peter turned and saw the disciple whom Jesus loved following them. He was the one who had leaned back against Jesus at the supper to ask, “Lord, who is going to betray You?”John 13:23One of His disciples, the one whom Jesus loved, was reclining at His side.John 12:17Meanwhile, many people continued to testify that they had been with Jesus when He called Lazarus from the tomb and raised him from the dead.Matthew 10:2These are the names of the twelve apostles: first Simon, called Peter, and his brother Andrew; James son of Zebedee, and his brother John;

Bookends: the same words open and close
John 1:35
John's Gospel brackets itself with the Beloved Disciple: an unnamed disciple stands with Andrew at the very beginning (1:35–40), and the book closes by identifying that disciple as the one “which testifieth of these things, and wrote these things” (21:24). The frame is John's own claim to have seen what he reports.
Bauckham, Jesus and the Eyewitnesses

Where scholars push back(1)

John 1:35. Critics of Bauckham's reading hold that the closing verse is a later editor's endorsement rather than the author's self-identification.
