John 13:29 - Forerunner Commentary

John 13:29

27 ^aNow after the piece of bread, Satan entered him. Then Jesus said to him, “What you do, do quickly.”

28 But no one at the table knew for what reason He said this to him.

29 For some thought, because ^aJudas had the money box, that Jesus had said to him, “Buy those things we need for the feast,” or that he should give something to the poor.

30 Having received the piece of bread, he then went out immediately. And it was night.

The New Commandment

31 So, when he had gone out, Jesus said, ^a“Now the Son of Man is glorified, and ^bGod is glorified in Him.

32 If God is glorified in Him, God will also glorify Him in Himself, and ^aglorify Him immediately.

33 Little children, I shall be with you a ^alittle while longer. You will seek Me; ^band as I said to the Jews, ‘Where I am going, you cannot come,’ so now I say to you.

34 ^aA new commandment I give to you, that you love one another; as I have loved you, that you also love one another.

35 ^aBy this all will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another.”

Jesus Predicts Peter’s Denial

36 Simon Peter said to Him, “Lord, where are You going?” Jesus answered him, “Where I ^aam going you cannot follow Me now, but ^byou shall follow Me afterward.”

37 Peter said to Him, “Lord, why can I not follow You now? I will ^alay down my life for Your sake.”

38 Jesus answered him, “Will you lay down your life for My sake? Most assuredly, I say to you, the rooster shall not ^acrow till you have denied Me three times.
