Origen of Alexandria

COMMENTARY ON THE GOSPEL OF JOHN 32.275 (253)

Now, beckoning is taken as slander in proverbs, for the wicked person "beckons with his eyes" … Peter's act, however, was to beckon out of his eagerness for knowledge, and subsequent to such beckoning, to say to his fellow disciple, since he was more intimate with the teacher, "Tell us who it is of whom he speaks."

The Metropolitan Tabernacle Pulpit, Sermon No. 2052: “"On His Breast"” (lightly modernized text, CCEL edition) (1888)

PICTURE the Lord and His Apostles at the holy Supper. A world of interest centers here. Two figures, strangely different, met in this scene—met, shortly afterwards to part and never to meet again. To look upon them, they seemed equally disciples of Jesus and from the position which one of them occupied, as leaning on the Lord's bosom and the other as the treasurer of the Master's little store, they seemed to be equally trusted and honored followers of the great Lord. You might not have known, by mere sight, which was the better man of the two—John or Judas.
