Johannes 13:11

11 (Denn er wußte seinen Verräter wohl; darum sprach er: Ihr seid nicht alle rein.)

Johannes 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.

Johannes 13:11 In-Context

9 So spricht zu ihm Simon Petrus: HERR, nicht die Füße allein, sondern auch die Hände und das Haupt!

10 Spricht Jesus zu ihm: Wer gewaschen ist, bedarf nichts denn die Füße waschen, sondern er ist ganz rein. Und ihr seid rein, aber nicht alle.

11 (Denn er wußte seinen Verräter wohl; darum sprach er: Ihr seid nicht alle rein.)

12 Da er nun ihre Füße gewaschen hatte, nahm er wieder seine Kleider und setzte sich wieder nieder und sprach abermals zu ihnen: Wisset ihr, was ich euch getan habe?

13 Ihr heißet mich Meister und HERR und saget recht daran, denn ich bin es auch.
