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.... [ Continue Reading ]
FOR HE KNEW WHO SHOULD BETRAY HIM; THEREFORE SAID HE, YE ARE NOT ALL CLEAN. It is a most realistic picture which the evangelist here draws: the Lord In the role of the humblest of servants, performing the work of the house-slave; the disciples sitting around in silent stupefaction, really unable to... [ Continue Reading ]
SO AFTER HE HAD WASHED THEIR FEET, AND HAD TAKEN HIS GARMENTS, AND WAS SET DOWN AGAIN, HE SAID UNTO TO THEM, KNOW YE WHAT I HAVE DONE TO YOU?... [ Continue Reading ]

IF YE KNOW THESE THINGS, HAPPY ARE YE IF YE DO THEM. Jesus finished His self-imposed, deliberate task; He wanted it impressed upon the memories of the disciples. He then took His upper garments once more, He put them on, He reclined once more in His place as the head of the household. Then He broke... [ Continue Reading ]

All the words of kindly admonition, all the promises of future blessings, were directed only to the true disciples, only to those whose faith was firmly grounded in... [ Continue Reading ]

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.... [ Continue Reading ]
HE, THEN, HAVING RECEIVED THE SOP, WENT IMMEDIATELY OUT; AND IT WAS NIGHT. In all His dealings with Judas, in all the warnings which the Lord sounded, He still had the object of winning him from his way of sin and damnation, if possible. But in this crisis Judas decided the wrong way, he rejected th... [ Continue Reading ]
THEREFORE, WHEN HE WAS GONE OUT, JESUS SAID, NOW IS THE SON OF MAN GLORIFIED, AND GOD IS GLORIFIED IN HIM.... [ Continue Reading ]
