Exposition of the New Testament (1746-1748)

Then Peter turning about,.... After he was risen, and was following Christ: seeth the disciple whom Jesus loved following also; by whom is designed John the Evangelist, and writer of this Gospel; who hearing Christ bid Peter follow him, rose up likewise, and went after him, in token of his willingness to serve him, and suffer for him too: which also leaned on his breast at supper; at the "paschal supper", as the Persic version here reads it: "and said, Lord, which is he that betrayeth thee?"

The Metropolitan Tabernacle Pulpit, Sermon No. 1539: “"The Disciple Whom Jesus Loved"” (lightly modernized text, CCEL edition) (1880)

Our Lord loved all His disciples—"having loved His own which were in the world, He loved them unto the end." He said to all the Apostles, "I call you not servants; for the servant knows not what his Lord does: but I have called you Friends; for all things that I have heard of My Father I have made known unto you." And yet within that circle of love there was an innermost place in which the beloved John was favored to dwell.
