Context of John 13:2

1It was nearly time for the Passover Festival. Jesus knew that he would soon leave this world and to go to the Father. He had always loved those who were his own people in the world. He continued to love them to the end. Jesus and his disciples were eating supper. The Devil had already put an idea into the mind of Judas Iscariot, Simon's son. The idea was to sell Jesus to his enemies. 3Jesus knew that the Father had given him power over everything. He knew that he had come from God. And he knew that he would soon return to God. 4So, during the meal, he stood up. He took off the coat that he wore over his other clothes. He tied a piece of cloth round himself.

Commentaries on John 13:2

• Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 2And supper being ended - Rather, , while supper was preparing. To support this new translation of the words, it may be remarked that, from John 13:26, John 13:30, it appears that the supper was not then ended: nay, it is probable that it was not then begun; because the washing of feet ( John 13:5;) was usually practised by the Jews before they entered upon their meals, as may be gathered from Luke 7:44, and from the reason of the custom. I think that John…Read the comment
• Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 2Supper being ended - This translation expresses too much. The original means while they were at supper; and that this is the meaning is clear from the fact that we find them still eating after this. The Arabic and Persic translations give it this meaning. The Latin Vulgate renders it like the English. The devil - The leader or prince of evil spirits. Having now put it into the heart - Literally, having cast it into the heart. Compare Ephesians 6:16; “The…Read the comment
