Context of John 13:2

1Now before the feast of the passover, Jesus, knowing that his hour had come that he should depart out of this world to the Father, having loved his own who were in the world, loved them to the end. And during supper, the devil having already put it into the heart of Judas [son] of Simon, Iscariote, that he should deliver him up, 3[Jesus,] knowing that the Father had given him all things into his hands, and that he came out from God and was going to God, 4rises from supper and lays aside his garments, and having taken a linen towel he girded himself:

Commentaries on John 13:2

• Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 2And supper being ended - Rather, , while supper was preparing.
