Commentaries on John 13:1
- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 1Now before the feast of the passover, when Jesus knew, etc. - Or, as some translate, Now Jesus having known, before the feast of the passover, that his hour was come, etc. The supper mentioned in John 13:2; is supposed to have been that on the Thursday evening, when the feast of the passover began; and though, in our common translation, this passage seems to place the supper before that feast, yet, according to the amended translation, what is here said…Read the comment

Those whom Christ loves, he loves to the end. Nothing can separate a true believer from the love of Christ…Read the comment

Each event during these important days glorified Jesus. His arrest, trial, death on the cross, and resurrection all bring forth responses of awe. On the cross, Jesus is "lifted up" in glory before the world (12:32).Read the comment
- Jamieson–Fausset–Brown Commentary · v. 1-201. when Jesus knew that his hour was come that he should depart out of this world unto the Father--On these beautiful euphemisms, see on Lu 9:31; Lu 9:51. having loved his own which were in the world, he loved them unto the end--The meaning is, that on the very edge of His last sufferings, when it might have been supposed that He would be absorbed in His own awful prospects, He was so far from forgetting "His own," who were to be left struggling "in the…Read the comment
