ſeemeth to have been rather a trouble of grief, that one of his Apo- es. ones whom he had choſen, ſhould commit ſo great a villany,than ztiſing from fear of Dearh. e For his next words are a further diſco- very of the perſon that ſhould betray him: he had ſaid before, that he ſhould be betrayed, and that it ſhould be by one that uſed to eat bread with him: but now he cometh cloſer, and tells them that ic ſhould be by cne of them, that is one of the twelve ; this was a cloſer diſco- very than he had as yer made.
22 Then the diſciples looked one on another, doubt- ing of whom he ſpake f. | :
© It ſeemeth they had no ſuſpicion of Judzs, but our Saviour tel- ling them that it was one of them, rhey begin ro look about one up- on another, rather ſuſpeQing themſelves than Fudzs, There may be a great deal of villany, and the greateſt villany in the hearts of Profeſſors, in whoſe converſation appeareth nothing that may give « juſt ſuſpicion to others, and the true Diſciples of Chriſt wil] have ſo much candor and brotherly love, that they will not raſhly judge and cenſure their brethren. |
23 Now there was leaning, on Jeſus boſom g, one of
his diſciples, whom Jeſus loved h.
g This leaning on Jeſus his boſom, and the /ying on Jeſus his breaſt, mentioned wer. 25. cannot be underſtood withoutthe underſtanding of the uſual poſture the Jews uſed at their meals, and particulerly, at the Paſchal Supper : of which we have ſpoken largely 1nour notes up- on Matth. 26. 20. (ſee the Annotations there) Their poſture ſeemeth to have been kneeling, and reſting their bodies back upon their legs, with a leaning upon their left elbow; and this ſcemeth not to have been ſo cloſe, but thar he rhat fo ſate, might uſe his other hand to take his meat ; hence he who fate before any, ſate with his back to- wards him, but leaning towards the boſom of the other, which is Here called a leaning on (that is, towards) his boſom, and /ying on hu breaſt ; for it cannot be underſtood of fuch a ferting or leaning, 25 to touch the others breaſt or boſom, for that would have hindred him upon whom the perſon ſo leaned, from any uſe of his right hand to take his meat or drink. It is apparent from hence, that at this Sup- per there wasnone but Chr: and his twelve Diſciples. Secondly, that they ſate inthis poſture of leaning : Theſe two things make it very pro- bable, if not certain, that the Supper here mentioned was either the Paſchal Supper, or a common Supper, which immediately went be- fore, orfollowed after the Paſſover Supper. For 1. we have no re- cord of any other Supper, at which were only Chriſt and the twelve Diſciples 3 and 2. If we may believe the Jewiſh Writers, tho' their ordinary poſture at their common meals was Diſcubzrure, that 15, a kneeling on their knees, with a reſting their bodies backward upon their legs ; yet this poſture of leaning was conſtantly added only upon the Paſſover night, as a further teſtimony of their liberty ; that they were notnow ſervants, (as in the land of Ezypr.) þ+ The perſon who ate next our Saviour, with his back next our Saviours boſome was 7Fohn, often in Scripture dignified with the title of the beloved Diſci- ple, and him whom Jeſus loved, Chap. 19. 26. and 20' 2. and 21, 7. 20.

ſhould ask who it ſhould be of whom he ſpake z.
