And he said unto them, The kings of the Gentiles exercise lordship over them; and they that exercise authority upon them are called Benefactors.

But ye shall not be so: but he that is greatest among you, let him be as the younger; and he that is chief, as he that doth serve.

For whether is greater, he that sitteth at meat, or he that serveth? is not he that sitteth at meat? but I am among you as he that serveth.

Jesus knowing that the Father had given all things into his hands, and that he was come from God, and went to God;

He riseth from supper, and laid aside his garments; and took a towel, and girded himself.

After that he poureth water into a bason, and began to wash the disciples feet, and to wipe them with the towel wherewith he was girded ".

Then cometh he to Simon Peter: and Peter said unto him, Lord, dost thou wash my feet?

Jesus answered and said unto him, What I do thou knowest not now; but thou shalt know hereafter.

Peter saith unto him, Thou shalt never wash my feet. Jesus answered him, If I wash thee not, thou hast no part with me.

Simon Peter saith unto him, Lord, not my feet only, but also my hands and my head.

Jesus saith to him, He that is washed needeth not save
to wash his feet, but is clean every whit: and ye are clean,
but not all.

For he knew who should betray him: therefore said he,
Ye are not all clean.

So after he had washed their feet, and had taken his
garments, and was set down again, he said unto them,
Know ye what I have done to you?

24 It is not certain where this section ought to be inserted. Michaelis and Newcome place the washing of the disciples feet after the preparation of the Passover and the promise of Judas to betray Christ. Pilkington and Lightfoot before those events. Michaelis represents the washing as taking place before the feast of the Passover. The rest of the harmonizers principally arrange it at the supper at Bethany.

If ye know these things, happy are ye if ye do them.
I speak not of you all; I know whom I have chosen :
but that the scripture may be fulfilled, He that eateth
bread with me hath lifted up his heel against me.

Now I tell you before it come, that when it is come to
pass, ye may believe that I am he.

Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that receiveth whom-
soever I send, receiveth me; and he that receiveth me,
receiveth him that sent me.

When Jesus had thus said, he was troubled in spirit.
And as they sat, and did eat, Jesus

And they began to be

Markxiv.19. one by one,

Mt. xxvi.22. Lord, is it I?

shall betray me.

Now there was leaning on Jesus' bosom, one of his disciples, whom Jesus loved.

Simon Peter therefore beckoned to him, that he should ask who it should be of whom he spake.

He then, lying on Jesus' breast, saith unto him, Lord, who is it?

Jesus answered, He it is to whom I shall give a sop when I have dipped it. And when he had dipped the sop, he gave it to Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon.

And after the sop, Satan entered into him.

Then Judas, which betrayed him, answered and said, Master, is it I? He said unto him, Thou hast said 26. John xiii.27. Then said Jesus unto him, That thou doest, do quickly. Now no man at the table knew for what intent he spake this unto him.

For some of them thought, because Judas had the bag, that Jesus had said unto him, Buy those things that we have need of against the feast; or, that he should give something to the poor.

He then having received the sop, went immediately out and it was night.

by whom he is betrayed.

25 This also is a Hebrew phrase. Among the instances collected by Schoetgen, is a sentiment which ought to be deeply engraven on the memory and the conscience of all who can appreciate the privilege of possessing and studying the Scriptures.

Judas goes out to betray Christ, who predicts Peter's De-

Therefore, when he was gone out, Jesus said, Now is
the Son of Man glorified, and God is glorified in him.
If God be glorified in him, God shall also glorify him
in himself, and shall straightway glorify him.

Little children, yet a little while I am with you.
Ye
shall seek me: and, as I said unto the Jews, Whither I
go ye cannot come: so now I say to you.

A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another as I have loved you, that also love one

another.

ye

By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.

Ye are they which have continued with me in my temptations.

And I appoint unto you a kingdom, as my Father hath appointed unto me;

That ye may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom, and sit on thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

And the Lord said, Simon, Simon, behold, Satan hath desired to have you, that he may sift you as wheat:

But I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not: and when thou art converted", strengthen thy brethren.

And he said unto him, Lord, I am ready to go with
thee, both into prison, and to death.

34. And he said, I tell thee, Peter, the cock shall not crow
this day before that thou shalt thrice deny that thou
knowest me.

And he said unto them, When I sent you without purse, and scrip, and shoes, lacked ye any thing? And they said, Nothing.

Then said he unto them, But now, he that hath a purse, let him take it, and likewise his scrip: and he that hath no sword, let him sell his garment, and buy one.

For I say unto you, That this that is written must yet be accomplished in me, And he was reckoned among the transgressors: for the things concerning me have an end. And they said, Lord, behold here are two swords. And he said unto them, It is enough 28.

27 When thou art converted-When thou hast recovered from that fall which I foresee.

28 This part of Christ's address to his disciples has been much misunderstood. From ver. 35. our Lord's intention may be supposed to be, to remind them that all their wants had been hitherto supplied. But now, as he was about to be removed, he forewarns them that it would be hereafter necessary for them to act for themselves, and to provide against danger and
