James Nisbet's Church Pulpit Commentary - John 13:34

THE NEW COMMANDMENT‘A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you.’ John 13:34 The command to love is always new. Every individual and every generation must have a new way, because the circumstances of the world are always changing, and the minds of men are always widening.The command is in another sense old. It has been from the beginning. But Christ revealed a new idea of man and a new idea of God. His love offered a new measure of greatness—‘Love one... read more

CHRISTIAN PHILANTHROPY‘By this shall all men know that ye are My disciples, if ye have love one to another: even as I loved you, that ye also may love one another.’ John 13:34-Habakkuk : (R.V. marg.) Philanthropy, then, is the great sign and test of Christianity. As we look around us and reckon up all the charitable institutions of England and the wealth that flows into them, we may lay the consolation to our hearts that we are thereby declared to be a most Christian people. By this all men... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - John 13:18

“From now on I am telling you before it takes place, so that when it does take place you may continue to believe that I am he”. Jesus knew that the betrayal which would result in His shameful death, would come as a crushing blow to His disciples. He knew that they might then be tempted to think, ‘if Jesus were really from God would He not have known?’ and might finally lose hope. But God would not allow them to be tempted above what they were able. Jesus wanted them therefore to be aware that... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - John 13:18-30

There Is One Among Them Who Will Betray Him (John 13:18-30 ). Jesus now brings out the astonishing fact that one of His own disciples would ‘betray’ Him. To us the meaning of this is clear for we know precisely what happened afterwards. But we must remember that it would not have been clear to the disciples. Indeed the actual reality would have been beyond their imagination. Thus we learn in the other Gospels that each disciple thought that he might be the one who would betray Jesus. They... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - John 13:19

“I strongly affirm to you that he who receives anyone whom I send, receives me, and he who receives me, receives him who sent me”. These words are in strong contrast to the actions of Judas. They stress the carrying on of Jesus’ ministry through His followers. They are an indication that what Judas was about to do could not affect the carrying forward of the Father’s plan. But how will men then know that He is Who He is? The answer is that His followers, those whom He sends, will now take His... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - John 13:20

‘When Jesus had spoken thus he was troubled in spirit and testified saying, “I emphatically inform you that one of you will betray me”.’ Jesus now confirms that he knew at this point that Judas had made his final decision. That he had hardened his heart and was now beyond helping. But this was not something that was easy for Jesus to accept. He had clearly loved Judas and felt deeply betrayed. Thus His spirit was troubled within Him, and this forced out of Him the anguished words ‘one of you... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - John 13:21

‘The disciples looked at one another not sure of whom he spoke’. Nothing that Judas had done had brought Judas under suspicion, although John appears to have been a little unsure of him for other reason (John 12:6). However, there is a great deal of difference between petty theft and open betrayal, and John might even have seen Judas’ dishonesty as the betrayal Jesus was speaking about. The verb is continuous. It suggests a stunned silence as they looked from one to another again and again.... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - John 13:23

‘There was at the table, reclining next to Jesus to His right (literally ‘in Jesus’ bosom’, the favoured place next to Him), one of his disciples whom Jesus loved.’ The ‘disciple whom Jesus loved’ was the author of the Gospel (John 21:20 with 24; compare John 14:21; John 15:9; John 17:9; John 17:12). He has previously declared Jesus’ overwhelming love for all the disciples (John 13:1), so that now he can describe himself as one of them without conceit. Like them he was a disciple whom Jesus... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - John 13:24-26

‘Simon Peter therefore gestured to him, and said to him, “Tell who it is he is speaking about”. He, leaning back as he was on Jesus’ breast, says to him, “Lord, who is it?” Jesus therefore answers, “He it is for whom I will dip the sop and give it to him.” So when he had dipped the sop he takes and gives it to Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot.’ At Jesus’ words it was typical of Peter that he rushed in when all others were silent. All were aware that something solemn was in the air, and they... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - John 13:27

‘And then, after the dipped bread, Satan entered him. Jesus says to him, “What you are going to do, do quickly”.’ Again we have here a double meaning. We already know that Judas had submitted to Satan, but John stresses it here so that he can add ‘Jesus says to him’, referring to both Judas and Satan. That it was to Judas is certain, but that it was also to Satan who now possessed Judas is also probable. Jesus had no fear of what Satan could do to Him, and He wanted him to know it. Jesus’ words... read more
