João 13:11

11 Pois ele sabia quem o estava traindo; por isso disse: Nem todos estais limpos.

João 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.

João 13:11 In-Context

9 Disse-lhe Simão Pedro: Senhor, não somente os meus pés, mas também as mãos e a cabeça.

10 Respondeu-lhe Jesus: Aquele que se banhou não necessita de lavar senão os pés, pois no mais está todo limpo; e vós estais limpos, mas não todos.

11 Pois ele sabia quem o estava traindo; por isso disse: Nem todos estais limpos.

12 Ora, depois de lhes ter lavado os pés, tomou o manto, tornou a reclinar-se � mesa e perguntou-lhes: Entendeis o que vos tenho feito?

13 Vós me chamais Mestre e Senhor; e dizeis bem, porque eu o sou.
