Juan 13:11

11 Jesús sabía quién lo iba a traicionar, y por eso dijo que no todos estaban limpios.

Juan 13:11 Meaning and Commentary

John 13:11

For he knew who should betray him
That is, Jesus, as Beza's ancient copy, and the Syriac and Persic versions read. This he knew from the beginning; not only from the beginning of his ministry, when he chose his twelve apostles, but from the beginning of time, yea, from everlasting; this being fixed by the determinate counsel of God, which he, as the omniscient God, was privy to: he knew what preparations were making, and how things were then working, in order to bring it about; he knew that Satan had already put it into Judas's heart, and that he had consented to it;

therefore, said he, ye are not all clean:
he does not mention his name, though he could have done so, it not being as yet proper to make so full a discovery of him, before the matter was ripe for execution; and also to put all the disciples upon examination of themselves.

Juan 13:11 In-Context

9 —Entonces, Señor, ¡no solo los pies sino también las manos y la cabeza!

10 —El que ya se ha bañado no necesita lavarse más que los pies —le contestó Jesús—; pues ya todo su cuerpo está limpio. Y ustedes ya están limpios, aunque no todos.

11 Jesús sabía quién lo iba a traicionar, y por eso dijo que no todos estaban limpios.

12 Cuando terminó de lavarles los pies, se puso el manto y volvió a su lugar. Entonces les dijo:—¿Entienden lo que he hecho con ustedes?

13 Ustedes me llaman Maestro y Señor, y dicen bien, porque lo soy.
