Commentary on John 13:17

Theological / Devotional

If ye know. A knowledge of duty places upon man the responsibility of performance. A man is not held responsible for the things of which he is ignorant, provided, of course, that his ignorance is not willful (see John 9:41; 15:22; Rom. 5:13; James 4:17).

Happy. Gr. makarioi (see on Matt. 5:3).

If ye do them. Doing is not to be divorced from professing (see Matt. 7:21; Luke 6:46; 12:47; Rom. 2:13; James 1:25).
