Jean 13:11

11 Car il savait qui était celui qui le trahissait; c'est pour cela qu'il dit: Vous n'êtes pas tous nets.

Jean 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.

Jean 13:11 In-Context

9 Alors Simon Pierre lui dit: Seigneur, non seulement les pieds, mais aussi les mains et la tête.

10 Jésus lui dit: Celui qui s'est baigné a besoin seulement qu'on lui lave les pieds; puis il est entièrement net. Or, vous êtes nets, mais non pas tous.

11 Car il savait qui était celui qui le trahissait; c'est pour cela qu'il dit: Vous n'êtes pas tous nets.

12 Après donc qu'il leur eut lavé les pieds, et qu'il eut repris son manteau, s'étant remis à table, il leur dit: Savez-vous ce que je vous ai fait?

13 Vous m'appelez Maître et Seigneur, et vous dites vrai; car je le suis.
