20. Receiveth whomsoever I send, receiveth me The fulfilment of my prediction, in the treason of Judas, proves that your commission is from the Son of God; and the truth remains sure, that he who receiveth you whom I send, receiveth the Son of God; and receiveth the Father who sent him. read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - John 13:23

23. Leaning on Jesus’s bosom Reclining next to him on the couch at table, whereby he could in a low voice address Jesus by turning back his head. Whom Jesus loved By this expression, used by John some five times, he doubtless designates himself, (John 19:26; John 20:2; John 21:7; John 21:20.) Twice he also mentions that he reclined on Jesus’s bosom, (John 21:20.) John was the youngest of the disciples; and without claiming any proud pre-eminence, or setting up for rival to Peter for the... read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - John 13:26

26. Give a sop The dipping in the same dish (Mark 14:20) and this giving the sop, are two things not to be confounded. By the former Jesus indicated that the betrayer was among those nearest him; the giving the sop was the signal by which he revealed to John which the traitor was. It must be remembered that the Orientals use neither knife nor fork, but eat in primitive style, with the fingers. It is a customary token of peculiar friendship to dip a piece of bread into the liquid sauce upon... read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - John 13:27

27. Do quickly This is properly no original command to do, and no permission of the act. It only requires that the act, wicked and forbidden though it be, should be rapid and brief. This both required his instant departure, which was a desirable result, and indicated that there was but a short time for the accomplishment of a stupendous destiny. read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - John 13:30

30. It was night It is a dreary image here presented. This son of night goes through the darkness of night on his message of treason. The Evangelist closes the door upon him as with a shudder; and fairly rid of his presence, yet conscious of his purpose, Jesus breaks forth in a rapture of relief. read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - John 13:31

31. Now is the Son of man glorified He whose spirit was just now so troubled at the dark side of events before him, now rises into exultation at the glory that crowns the darkness. Again the entire scene of crucifixion and ascension are concentrated and brought into a now, (see note on John 12:31,) and the whole is seen to be a glory. By the very cross and passion the Son of man is glorified. And as God has given the Son of his love for this great work, so God is glorified in him. read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - John 13:32

32. Glorify him in himself The Son shall glorify the Father by the excellence in himself; and the Father shall glorify the Son from the excellence in himself. Each has and is that in himself by which he glorifies the other. Straightway Judas was to perform his work quickly, because the glorification of the cross was to be performed straightway. read more
