Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - John 13:1
This verse contradicts the Synoptic accounts of the Passover (e.g., Mark 14:12) only if it introduces everything in chapters 13-17. Evidently it introduces only the account of foot-washing that follows."As the first Passover had been the turning point in the redemption of the people of God, so the Cross would be the opening of a new era for believers." [Note: Tenney, "John," p. 135.] The word "world" (Gr. cosmos) is an important one in this section of the Gospel where it appears about 40 times... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - John 13:1-11
The act of foot-washing 13:1-11"In the Synoptic account of the events of this evening we read of a dispute among the disciples as to which of them would be the greatest. John does not record this, but he tells of an action of Jesus that rebuked their lack of humility more strikingly than any words could have done." [Note: Morris, p. 544.] The emphasis in John 13:1-3 is on what the Lord knew, and in John 13:4-5 it is on what He did. read more

1. Jesus’ washing of the disciples’ feet 13:1-20Jesus began His farewell address (cf. Moses, Deuteronomy 31-33; Joshua, Joshua 23-24; Paul, Acts 20) with an object lesson. 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

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - John 13:2
The supper (Gr. deipnon) in view was the evening meal (John 13:30). It was a Passover meal. Jesus evidently washed the disciples’ feet just after the meal had been served (John 13:4; John 13:26). The fact that Jesus washed Judas’ feet after Judas had determined to betray Him shows the greatness of His love (John 13:1). John’s reference to Satan’s role in Judas’ decision heightens the point even further. read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - John 13:3-5
Jesus washed the disciple’s feet fully aware of His authority from the Father, His divine origin, and His divine destiny. John’s mention of this awareness stresses Jesus’ humility and love still further. Washing feet in such a situation was the role of the most menial of servants (cf. John 1:27). [Note: Carson, The Gospel . . ., p. 462; Beasley-Murray, p. 233.] Here Jesus reversed normal roles and assumed the place of a servant rather than that of a rabbi. His act demonstrated love (John 13:1),... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - John 13:6-7
Most of the disciples remained silent as Jesus washed their feet, but Peter could not refrain from objecting. The Greek construction of what he said stresses the contrast between Jesus and himself. Jesus encouraged Peter to submit to having his feet washed with the promise that he would understand later why Jesus was washing them (cf. John 13:12-20). As the disciples did not understand that Jesus would die, they did not understand either the lessons that led up to His death. They would... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - John 13:8-9
This promise did not satisfy Peter who objected to Jesus’ act in the strongest terms. Peter viewed the situation as totally unacceptable socially. Jesus’ replied on the spiritual and symbolic level. He was speaking of spiritual cleansing, as the context clarifies. Peter understood Him to be speaking on the physical level. If failure to submit to Jesus’ washing meant the termination of their relationship, Peter was willing to submit to a more thorough cleansing. Peter’s words reflect his... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - John 13:18
18, 19. I speak not of you all—the "happy are ye," of :-, being on no supposition applicable to Judas. I know whom I have chosen—in the higher sense. 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
