From now on, Jesus is only seen with His disciples.
V.1 The love of Jesus never changed for His own, even though He now faces the cross.
V.1-17 Jesus is teaching us a lesson. Each believer is to have a real interest and concern for other believers. We are to wash each other’s feet. By this is meant that when one of us does something which is not pleasing to the Lord, another believer can come to us kindly, and point it out. Satan would here say to us that we are not to judge each other. If we love each other, we are going to try to help each other. It is only when we have judged and put out of our life the things which do not please the Lord, that we can have fellowship with Him.
V.7 Jesus was going away, and they would understand later. The “hereafter” refers to our present day.
V.18-30 Judas is pointed out as the one who betrays the Lord. Judas goes out before the Lord’s supper. That is not told here.
V.31-35 The Lord Jesus will be seen in His glory when He comes in His kingdom at the beginning of the millennium. But God has glorified Him before that time now in heaven.
V.34-36 By having love one for another, we show that we follow the Lord Jesus.
V.37-38 Peter boasts of his faithfulness, but is told of the fall ahead of him.
