Did John lean on the breast of Jesus at the table?
In John's gospel, the "disciple whom Jesus loved" leaned on the breast of Jesus. Late in the second century, Ireneus identified the "disciple whom Jesus loved"as John, one of the twelve, as a result of which the fourth gospel became known as John's Gospel. The scene in which the "disciple whom Jesus loved" leaned on Jesus is not mentioned in any of the earlier gospels, but if Ireneus was correct, then we could say that it was John.
What does the Bible mean by the disciple whom Jesus Loved?
This refers to John (later writer of the Gospel of John), who was the youngest disciple.
Why did Jesus love John so deeply and unconditionally?
Jesus loved John deeply and unconditionally because John was a loyal and faithful disciple who showed great love and devotion to Jesus. John was also known as the "beloved disciple" and had a close and intimate relationship with Jesus, which deepened their bond of love and trust.
Was John closest to Christ?
------------------------ John's Gospel talks of a 'disciple whom Jesus loved' but does not identify that disciple. The second-century Church Fathers noticed that whenever the book talks about the disciple, it does not mention John and, on this evidence alone, decided that this disciple must therefore be John. Like all the New Testament Gospels, John's Gospel was written anonymously, but the Church Fathers came to the conclusion that the author must be the 'disciple whom Jesus loved' and, since they had decided this disciple to be John, the Gospel author was the disciple John. The second century reasoning was merely conjecture and is not accepted by modern biblical scholars. If the 'disciple whom Jesus loved' was closest to Jesus, we still do not know who that disciple was.
