The Pulpit Commentary - John 13:1

Jesus loving to the end. Notice— I. THE SPECIAL KNOWLEDGE OF CHRIST . This was the knowledge respecting his death. Its speciality lies, not in his knowing the fact that he would die, but in certain circumstances connected with it, the knowledge of which was calculated to pain and discourage him. 1. He knew the time of his death . This is wisely hid from us; but he knew the hour and the minute. 2. He knew that the time of his death had already come . "Knew... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - John 13:1-3

Farewell token of Christ's love to his disciples. We are now to trace the development of faith in the body of the disciples, responsive to the supreme manifestations of his love to them during his earthly ministry. I. OUR LORD 'S KNOWLEDGE OF HIS APPROACHING DEATH . "Jesus knowing that his hour was come." 1. This knowledge was strictly prophetic . It was no mere forecast, grounded on a calculation of the extremeness of Jewish hatred. He had often evaded arrest,... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - John 13:1-38

A. The inner glorification of the Christ in the presence of those who received and believed on him . *** The Loges incarnate as life, light, love, and sacrifice, lavishing all his grace upon his own (Jn 13-17.). B. The outer glorification of the Christ in his Passion and resurrection . *** The fully manifested love laying down life that he might take it again, and lift these disciples into vital union with the risen life (Jn 18-21.). A. THE INNER GLORIFICATION OF ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - John 13:2

A supper having commenced ; or, being then in progress £ —without doubt the meal in which our Lord terminated the Old Testament dispensation and introduced the New, and which John discriminates, therefore, from the Passover proper referred to in verse 1. The evangelist now reverts to the diabolic design which had been injected into the heart of Judas. The devil having already cast into the heart (of Judas) that he —Meyer's suggestion that the devil put this design into his own... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - John 13:3

£ Knowing —a significant hint of the complex wonder of the Lord's Person. John felt at this moment that the consciousness of Jesus was receding into the eternal self-consciousness of the Logos when he thus ventures to speak— that the Father —in the great act of his generation— gave £ all things into his hands, and that he came forth ( ἀπὸ ) from God, and was going back ( or, away ) to God, in the glory of his incarnation and the mystery of his death and resurrection. The... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - John 13:3

Christ's consciousness of his mission. The occasion upon which our Savior is said by his friend and apostle John to have had a vivid consciousness of hi§ mission is deserving of attention. It was just before his Passion, in the upper room where he was about, by act and language, to inculcate great lessons upon his disciples, and whence he was to take his way to Gethsemane and Calvary. In such circumstances the confidence of a human leader might well have wavered, and his purposes might... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - John 13:3-5

A last act of love. It must not be supposed that the act of Jesus here was a purely symbolic act, an act useless in itself. Probably Jesus and his disciples had been walking about most of the day, and the washing of the feet would be very grateful to tired and sandaled wayfarers. Jesus was rendering a real service, however slight a one. Before they went out of the room, Jesus had to have much very earnest talk with them, and it was just as well for them to be comfortable while they were... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - John 13:4-5

Commentators differ as to the motive which induced our Lord to perform this menial act, to adopt the gesture, girding, and duties of the δοῦλος , to divest himself of his ἱμάτια or upper garments, and to appear and veritably to act as a slave. Strauss regards it as a mythical representation of one of our Lord's discourses on humility. Lange, with much pertinence, believes it to correspond to the pain, which he manifested, at the very last Supper, with the unseemly contest for... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - John 13:4-11

The washing of the disciples' feet. This affecting incident occurred immediately after the controversy among the 'disciples as to which of them should be accounted greatest in the kingdom of heaven ( Luke 22:1-71 .). I. JESUS TAKES THE FORM OF A SERVANT . He washed the feet of his disciples, though it had been more their place to wash the feet of their Master. 1. His humility led him to stoop to the most menial offices in the day of his humiliation . 2. He... read more
