The Pulpit Commentary - John 13:13

Ye name me the Teacher and the Lord . "Rabbi and Mara," the names of reverence which disciples of the Hebrew teachers were accustomed to offer to their masters. φωνεῖν means to name, and the two nominatives are used appellatively, not as vocatives. Tholuck regards them as vocatives. Scholars dared not address their teachers without some marks of respect. διδάσκαλος is John's equivalent for יבר , my Master (see John 1:29 ; John 20:16 ). And ye say well; for so I am . At this... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - John 13:13

Mastership and subjection. Equality amongst men is the dream of fanatics. It is true that men should by law have equal rights. But the Creator has not bestowed equal gifts or powers of body or of mind, and no human laws can equalize men's condition, their possessions, or their enjoyments. And in all society there must be authority and. subordination; some must rule, and some obey. So is it in the spiritual kingdom of our Lord. I. THE CLAIM OF CHRIST . 1. Wheel it is . ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - John 13:13

The Lordship of Jesus. I. OUR RESEMBLANCE TO THE DISCIPLES IN USING THE NAME . These men called Jesus "Lord," and were known as his helpers and agents. As long as Jesus remained in the flesh there was no difficulty in looking upon him as Master. All their doings had been sufficiently easy, consisting, as they did, for the most part, of outward actions. But in due season the visible Master became the invisible, and one by one the first servants also died away and went... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - John 13:12-15

John 13:12-15. So after he had washed their feet, &c. After he had given them such a striking proof of his humility, condescension, and love, by performing to them the office of the meanest slave; he said, Know ye what I have done to you? Know ye the meaning of what I have done? for the action was emblematical. Ye call me Master, and Lord Ο διδασκαλος και ο κυριος , the master, or teacher, and the Lord. “The article prefixed to each appellation, and the nominative case... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - John 13:1-20

140. Washing the disciples’ feet (John 13:1-20)When they gathered for the meal that night, Jesus took the place of a servant and washed the disciples’ feet. By this action he symbolized firstly, the need for humility, and secondly, that he, the perfect servant, would cleanse people from sin through his death (John 13:1-5). Peter, not understanding this symbolic action, objected. Jesus responded that if he refused to let Jesus cleanse him, he could not be Jesus’ disciple. By this cleansing,... read more

E.W. Bullinger's Companion Bible Notes - John 13:13

call Me = address Me as. Greek. phoneo, always used of calling with the voice (phone). Compare John 11:28 ; John 12:17 ; and compare kaleo, Luke 6:46 ; Luke 15:19 .

Would that Christians today would treat Him with the same respect which He here commends, instead of calling Him by the name of His humiliation, Jesus, by which He was never addressed by disciples, only by... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - John 13:13

Ye call me Teacher, and Lord: and ye say well; for so I am.Lord ... The use of this term by the apostles shows the exalted nature of their concept of Jesus Christ, thus hailing him as the divine ruler of life. The use of "Teacher" along with this title does not diminish the impact of it. read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - John 13:13

13. Ye call me Master—Teacher. and Lord—learning of Him in the one capacity, obeying Him in the other. and ye say well, for so I am—The conscious dignity with which this claim is made is remarkable, following immediately on His laying aside the towel of service. Yet what is this whole history but a succession of such astonishing contrast from first to last? read more
