Juan 13:24 Meaning and Commentary

John 13:24

Simon Peter therefore beckoned to him
Peter perhaps lay at a distance from Christ, or in some such position, that he could not whisper to him himself; and besides, knew that John might use more freedom, as he was admitted to more familiarity with him; and being at some distance also from him, he beckoned to him; which was usually done at meals, when they could not, by reason of their posture, discourse together: this being the case, (gwxmb hyl ywxm) , "they made signs", by nodding to one another ^F11; that is, as the gloss explains it, they pointed with their hands and fingers, and by nodding or beckoning; such a method Peter took, signifying his desire,

that he should ask who it should be of whom he spake:
which he did not out of mere curiosity, but from an honest intention and pure zeal, that he, with the rest, might show their abhorrence of such a person, and avoid him; and do all that lay in their power to hinder him from putting his designs into execution, and that the innocent might be free from all suspicion.

Juan 13:24 In-Context

22 Los discípulos se miraban unos a otros sin saber a cuál de ellos se refería.

23 Uno de ellos, el discípulo a quien Jesús amaba, estaba a su lado.

24 Simón Pedro le hizo señas a ese discípulo y le dijo:—Pregúntale a quién se refiere.

25 —Señor, ¿quién es? —preguntó él, reclinándose sobre Jesús.

26 —Aquel a quien yo le dé este pedazo de pan que voy a mojar en el plato —le contestó Jesús.Acto seguido, mojó el pedazo de pan y se lo dio a Judas Iscariote, hijo de Simón.
