What The Beloved Heard
Most commentators insist that
when the beloved disciple leaned back into Jesus’ bosom he heard the heartbeat of God. Or possibly the pulse of compassion. Or something similarly soothing to our senses. This is yet another example of the mistake the commentator mind makes, trying to think beyond what it knows. John’s proximity gave him access to Christ’s longing. And anyone who’s honest knows that meant he was near enough to hear the universal whisper that revealed Jesus truly was our brother: I just want my old man to be proud of me.

This is fantastic.
Furthermore, anyone who thinks John could hear Jesus’ heartbeat has never eaten at a table with a bunch of guys sitting around it.
