Commentary on John 13:16

Theological / Devotional

Verily. See on Matt. 5:18; John 1:51.

The servant. Or, “slave.”

Is not greater. If it was not beneath the dignity of the Master to perform a menial service, the servant, or slave, certainly ought not to think it beneath his dignity (cf. on Luke 6:40; see Matt. 10:24; Luke 22:27).
