Juan 13:11

11 Porque sabía quién le había de entregar; por eso dijo: No estáis limpios todos.

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 Dícele Simón Pedro: Señor, no sólo mis pies, mas aun las manos y la cabeza.
10 Dícele Jesús: El que está lavado, no necesita sino que lave los pies, mas está todo limpio: y vosotros limpios estáis, aunque no todos.
11 Porque sabía quién le había de entregar; por eso dijo: No estáis limpios todos.
12 Así que, después que les hubo lavado los pies, y tomado su ropa, volviéndose á sentar á la mesa, díjoles: ¿Sabéis lo que os he hecho?
13 Vosotros me llamáis, Maestro, y, Señor: y decís bien; porque lo soy.
