Exegesis
The relative clause hon ēgapa ho Iēsous {ὃν ἠγάπα ὁ Ἰησοῦς | hon ēgapa ho Iēsous} then identifies the disciple more precisely and uses the imperfect ēgapa {ἠγάπα | ēgapa} to portray Jesus’ love as continuing and characteristic rather than momentary.
In context — John 13:23
One of His disciples was reclining in the bosom of Jesus , the one whom Jesus loved.
