Commentary

Commentary on John 13:2

Theological / Devotional

Supper being ended. Textual evidence is divided (cf. p. 146) between this and the reading “while supper was in progress.” A piecing together of information provided by the various gospel writers leads to the conclusion that the latter reading is correct. However, the washing of the feet probably took place early in the meal, in connection with the paschal supper (cf. DA 645, 646; see on Luke 22:24). Not all details of procedure during the Last Supper are noted by the gospel writers; hence it cannot be definitely known at what point during the paschal ritual (see on Matt. 26:21) — if indeed the customary ritual was minutely followed by Jesus on the occasion — the Lord’s Supper was introduced (cf. DA 653).

To betray him. See on Matt. 26:14; cf. Luke 22:3.
