EXCERPT
In the first place, Leonardo has Jesus and His disciples sitting at a table. But people didn't sit at tables to eat in the time of Christ; they reclined. They lay on couch-like furniture, leaning on an elbow, which left the other hand free to eat. That's important, because remember that Peter asked John, "Who is Jesus talking about when He says that one of us is going to betray Him?" (John 13:24).

… The rest of the disciples could not hear Peter. Why? Because he was able to lean back, John could come forward, and the two could communicate.
