Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - John 13:16-20

John 13:16-20. Verily, the servant is not greater than his lord And therefore ought not to think much either of doing or suffering the same things. If ye know these things Therefore, knowing your duty in this particular, ye are happy if you practise it. I speak not of you all When I call you happy; nor do I expect that all of you will hearken to me; I know whom I have chosen I know there is one among you whom no instruction will profit, and that I should have called such a one to the... 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

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - John 13:18

I speak not of you all: I know whom I have chosen: but that the Scripture might be fulfilled, he that eateth my bread lifted up his heel against me.McGarvey paraphrased this thus:I do not speak of blessing you all, for there is one who shall never be blessed. His conduct does not deceive or surprise me, for I know those whom I have chosen whether they be good or bad.[5]That the Scripture might be fulfilled ... Even the treachery of an apostle was prophesied in Psalms 41:9, which reads:Yea, mine... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - John 13:18

John 13:18. I know whom I have chosen:— Christ does not intend to say here, that he had chosen some of his apostles, and not all; for he owns that he had chosen Judas, by saying, Have not I chosen you twelve, and one of you is a devil? John 6:70. The import of these words seems therefore to be this, "I know the temper, disposition, and hearts of those whom I have chosen, and what one of them particularly will do; for which cause I said, Ye are not all clean; but God, in his wisdom, has... read more

But that the scripture may be fulfilled—that is, one has been added to your number, by no accident or mistake, who is none of Mine, but just that he might fulfil his predicted destiny. He that eateth bread with me—"did eat of my bread" ( :-), as one of My family; admitted to the nearest familiarity of discipleship and of social life. hath lifted... read more

A. The Last Supper 13:1-30Jesus concluded each of His prolonged stays and ministries in a district with an important meal."At the first ’Supper,’ [i.e., the feeding of the 5,000, at the end of the Galilean ministry, mainly to Jews] the Jewish guests would fain have proclaimed Him Messiah-King; at the second [i.e., the feeding of the 4,000, at the end of the Decapolis ministry, mainly to Gentiles], as ’the Son of Man,’ He gave food to those Gentile multitudes which having been with Him those... read more

Again Jesus limited what He had said to those disciples who truly believed on Him (John 13:10; cf. John 6:71; John 12:4; John 13:2). He made this statement so that when the disciples would later remember His words they would not think that He had been mistaken about Judas. Instead they would believe that Jesus was "I am," connoting deity (Exodus 3:14; Isaiah 41:4; Isaiah 43:10; cf. John 8:24; John 8:28; John 8:58). He wanted the disciples to believe His claims before His crucifixion apparently... read more
