John 13:2

And supper being ended, the devil having now put into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, to betray him; AND SUPPER BEING ENDED, [ genomenou (G1096)]. In this rendering our translators have followed Luther and Beza, but unfortunately, since from John 13:26 it seems plain that the supper was not even then ended. The meaning either is, 'And supper being prepared,' or 'And supper going on.' So the same word is used, as Alford notices, in Matthew 26:6 "While Jesus was in Bethany" [ genomenou (G1096)], and in John 21:4, "when it was mornin...

2._After supper. _(39) We shall afterwards take into consideration, at the proper place, the whole of Christ’s design in _washing the feet _of his disciples, and the advantage to be derived from this narrative. Let us now attend to the connection of the words. The Evangelist says that this was done, while Judas already resolved to betray Christ, not only to show the wonderful patience of Christ, who could endure to _wash the feet _of such a wicked and detestable traitor; but also that he purposely selected the time when he was near death, for performing what may be regarded as the last act of his life. _The devil having already put it into the heart of Judas. _When the Evangelist says that Judas had been impelled by _the devil _to form the design of _betraying _Christ, this tends to show the enormity of the crime; for it was dreadful and most atrocious wickedness, in which the e

1-17 Our Lord Jesus has a people in the world that are his own; he has purchased them, and paid dear for them, and he has set them apart for himself; they devote themselves to him as a peculiar people. Those whom Christ loves, he loves to the end. Nothing can separate a true believer from the love of Christ. We know not when our hour will come, therefore what we have to do in constant preparation for it, ought never to be undone. What way of access the devil has to men's hearts we cannot tell. But some sins are so exceedingly sinful, and there is so little temptation to them from the world and the flesh, that it is plain they are directly from Satan. Jesus washed his disciples' feet, that he might teach us to think nothing below us, wherein we may promote God's glory, and the good of our brethren. We must address ourselves to duty, and must lay aside every thing that would hinder us in...

Verse John 13:2. _AND SUPPER BEING ENDED_] Rather, δειπνου γενομενου, _while supper was preparing_. To support this new translation of the words, it may be remarked that, from John 13:26; John 13:30, it appears that the supper was _not_ then _ended_: nay, it is probable that it was not then _begun_; because the washing of feet (John 13:5) was usually practised by the Jews _before_ they entered upon their meals, as may be gathered from Luke 7:44, and from the reason of the custom. I think that John wrote, not γενομενου, but γινομενου, as in BL. Cant...

SUPPER BEING ENDED - This translation expresses too much. The original means while they were at supper; and that this is the meaning is clear from the fact that we find them still eating after this. The Arabic and Persic translations give it this meaning. The Latin Vulgate renders it like the English. THE DEVIL - The leader or prince of evil spirits. HAVING NOW PUT IT INTO THE HEART - Literally, having cast it into the heart. Compare Ephesians 6:16; “The fiery darts of the wicked.” See Acts 5:3; Luke 22:3. The meaning of this passage is that Satan inclined the mind of Judas to do this, or he tempted him to betray his Mas

In two divisions— A._ The inner glorification of the Christ in the presence of those who received and believed on him_. *** The Loges incarnate as life, light, love, and sacrifice, lavishing all his grace upon his own (Jn 13-17.). B._ The outer glorification of the Christ in his Passion and resurrection_. *** The fully manifested love laying down life that he might take it again, and lift

AND SUPPER BEING ENDED,.... Or rather "supper being", or it "being supper time", for it was not ended; not the paschal supper, nor the Lord's supper, but the supper in Simon's house at Bethany, two days before the passover. There is no mention made in this whole chapter of the passover supper, or of any of its rites: the washing of the disciples' feet was a peculiar action of our Lord's, and had no manner of regard to any usage among the Jews at such a time; nor was it ever usual with them, at the passover, to wash the feet of those that ate of it; there is not the least trace of any such custom in any of their writings: besides, it is said in so many words, in John 13:1, that this was "before the feast of the passover"; and by comparing it with Matthew 26:2, it appears to be two days before it; and so much time se

John 13:1. _Now before the feast of the passover,_ Or, just as it was about to begin, John 13:1. _When Jesus knew that his hour was come that he should depart out of this world unto the Father, having loved his own which were in the world, he loved them unto the end._ That is a very beautiful description of Christ's death: «His hour was that he should depart out of this world unto the Father,» just as though he was merely going on a journey, leaving one land for another; and if this be a fair description of such a stormy passage as that of our Lord Jesus, who died for our sins upon Calvary's cross, it must with equal truth describe the death of any of the children of God. There is also an appointed time for us to depart, and to be with Christ which is far better than remaining h

JOHN 13:2 ginome,nou {B} This verse contains two serious textual problems. The first involves but a single letter: dei,pnou genome,nou is generally taken to mean “supper being ended” (AV), whereas dei,pnou ginome,nou means “during supper” (NRSV). The former reading is by far the more difficult, for it stands in opposition to the following context, which indicates that the supper was still in progress (verses John 13:4 and John 13:26).
