Juan 13:13

13 Vosotros me llamáis Maestro y Señor; y tenéis razón, porque lo soy.

Juan 13:13 Meaning and Commentary

John 13:13

Ye call me Master and Lord
(ybr) , and (rm) , "Master" and "Lord", were dignified titles among the Jews, which they frequently F25 gave to their doctors and men of learning, and are often to be met with in their writings: hence the disciples called Christ by these names, not out of flattery, but reverence of him, and esteem for him; nor are they blamed, but commended for it:

and ye say well, for so I am;
though he had acted the part of a servant in such a surprising manner, by washing their feet; yet he had not dropped and lost, but still maintains his place and authority as a "Master" to teach and instruct them, and as a "Lord" to rule and govern them.

Juan 13:13 In-Context

11 Porque sabía quién le iba a entregar; por eso dijo: No todos estáis limpios.
12 Entonces, cuando acabó de lavarles los pies, tomó su manto, y sentándose a la mesa otra vez, les dijo: ¿Sabéis lo que os he hecho?
13 Vosotros me llamáis Maestro y Señor; y tenéis razón, porque lo soy.
14 Pues si yo, el Señor y el Maestro, os lavé los pies, vosotros también debéis lavaros los pies unos a otros.
15 Porque os he dado ejemplo, para que como yo os he hecho, vosotros también hagáis.
