3. The Conversations after the Supper: Luke 22:24-38.

The conversations which follow refer: 1 st. To a dispute which arises at this moment between the apostles (Luke 22:24-30); 2 d. To the danger which awaits them at the close of this hour of peace (Luke 22:31-38). The washing of the feet in John corresponds to the first piece. The prediction of St. Peter's denial follows in his Gospel, as it does in Luke. According to Matthew and Mark, it was uttered a little later, after the singing of the hymn. It is quite evident that Luke is not dependent on the other Syn., but that he has sources of his own, the trustworthiness of which appears on comparison with John's narrative.
