John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - John 13:26

Jesus answered, he it is ,.... Jesus replied, by whispering; for had he spoken out, the rest could not have been so ignorant, as they still continued, after the sign was given: Christ, I say, whispered to John, and told him by what sign he might know the person, and that it was he, to whom , says he, I shall give a sop, when I have dipped it . This was not the passover sop, which was dipped into a sauce made of various things, called by the Jews חרוסת ; for this was not the... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - John 13:27

And after the sop, Satan entered into him ,.... After he had taken and eaten the sop, or crust of bread, by which he was pointed out to be the betrayer, "Satan entered into him"; possessed his body, and filled his mind, and stirred him up more eagerly to pursue with rigour his wicked design. The Jews have a saying F12 T. Bab. Sota, fol. 3. 1. Tzeror Hammor, fol. 112. 1. & 117. 3. , that "no man commits a transgression, until נכנס בו רוח שטות , "a spirit of madness enters... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - John 13:28

Now no man at the table ,.... Not one of those who lay upon the couches at the table, excepting John, to whom the signal was given: knew for what intent he spake this unto him ; and perhaps he might not know the meaning of his last words, that he spoke concerning the act of betraying him; nor did not imagine that the thing was so near and so speedily to be done, as it was. read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - John 13:29

For some of them thought ,.... This was the thought of some of the disciples, it may be of all of them but John; because Judas had the bag : which was for the common supply of Christ and his disciples, and for the relief of the poor; See Gill on John 12:6 . That Jesus had said unto him, buy those things that we have need of against the feast ; the feast of the passover, which was to be two days after; and shows, that this was not the passover which Christ now ate with his... read more

He then having, received the sop ,.... As soon as ever he received it, he went immediately out ; fearing lest an entire discovery should be made, and he be prevented accomplishing his design; or being more violently stirred up to it by, Satan, who after the sop entered into him, he directly went from Bethany to Jerusalem, to the chief priests, there, in order to consult and agree upon the delivery of him into their hands: and it was night ; this circumstance is added, to show how... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - John 13:31

Therefore, when he was gone out, Jesus said ,.... Christ and his true disciples being together alone, he used a greater freedom of conversation with them, and entered into some discourse about his sufferings and death; with a view to give them some instructions about their future conduct and behaviour, and in order to support them under the loss of his presence; and tells them in the first place, that now is the son of man glorified : by "the son of man", he means himself; a phrase he... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - John 13:32

If God be glorified in him ,.... Seeing this is a certain truth, is indisputably matter of fact, that all the perfections of God are glorified in Christ, by his sufferings and death: God shall also glorify him in himself ; either "with himself"; with his own glory, which was promised to Christ, and which he had before the world was, and for which he prays, John 17:5 , or by himself: by his own power, in raising him from the dead, setting him at his own right hand, and crowning him with... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - John 13:21

Was troubled in spirit - See the note on John 11:33 . And testified - Spoke with great earnestness. Shall betray me - Παραδωσει με , Will deliver me up. Judas had already betrayed our blessed Lord, and he was now on the point of delivering him up into the hands of the chief priests. By all these warnings, did not our Lord intend that Judas should be benefited? - that he should repent of his iniquity, and turn and find mercy? read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - John 13:22

Looked one on another doubting of whom he spake - See the notes on Matthew 26:20-25 ; (note). Every one but Judas, conscious of his own innocence, looked about upon all the rest, wondering who in that company could be such a traitor! Even Judas himself is not suspected. Is not this a proof that his general conduct had been such as to subject him to no suspicion? read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - John 13:23

Now there was leaning on Jesus' bosom - The Jews of those days, at their suppers, reclined, supported by their left arm, on couches placed round the table, as the Greeks and Romans did. On each couch there were two or three persons; and the head of one of them came near to the bosom of him who reclined above him on the same couch. The person here mentioned was John, the writer of this history, who, being more tenderly loved by Christ than the rest, had always that place at table which was... read more
