After Judas leaves, Jesus begins to reveal future information to His disciples, and encouragement when times are dark.Today's verses: John 13:31-14:11Website: biblerd.comNotes on this episode: biblerd.com/john-17Contact us: biblerd.com/contactBible Read and Discover Podcast and biblerd.com © 2021 Jared Cochran.Scripture quotations are from the ESV® Bible (The Holy Bible, English Standard Version®), copyright © 2001 by Crossway, a publishing ministry of Good News Publishers.

Reclining at table with his disciples, Jesus was deeply troubled and testified, “Amen, amen, I say to you, one of you will betray me.” The disciples looked at one another, at a loss as to whom he meant. One of his disciples, the one whom Jesus loved, was reclining at Jesus’ side. So Simon Peter nodded to him to find out whom he meant. He leaned back against Jesus’ chest and said to him, “Master, who is it?” Jesus answered, “It is the one to whom I hand the morsel after I have dipped it.” So he dipped the morsel and took it and handed it to Judas, son of Simon the Iscariot. After Judas took the morsel, Satan entered him. So Jesus said to him, “What you are going to do, do quickly.” Now none of those reclining at table realized why he said this to him. Some thought that since Judas kept the money bag, Jesus had told him, “Buy what we need for the feast,” or to give something to the poor. So Judas took the morsel and left at once. And it was night. When he had left, Jesus said, “Now is the Son of Man glorified, and God is glorified in him. If God is glorified in him, God will also glorify him in himself, and he will glorify him at once. My children, I will be with you only a little while longer. You will look for me, and as I told the Jews, ‘Where I go you cannot come,’ so now I say it to you.” Simon Peter said to him, “Master, where are you going?” Jesus answered him, “Where I am going, you cannot follow me now, though you will follow later.” Peter said to him, “Master, why can I not follow you now? I will lay down my life for you.” Jesus answered, “Will you lay down your life for me? Amen, amen, I say to you, the cock will not crow before you deny me three times.” (Jn 13; 21-33, 36-38)

Jesus set the example for servant leadership as he washed the disciples' feet. He calls us to be a church of servants. After Judas was sent out, Jesus used Passover elements to talk to his disciples about his coming suffering and death. Communion is a opportunity to remember his sacrifice for us and also to affirm our commitment to abide in him.
2KINGS 13-14: Yesterday we heard of Athaliah's seven-year reign over Judah, of how Joash was saved from being killed, and of Jehoida's successful plot to end Athaliah's reign. Josh turned out to be sorta good, but disappointing at the end of his reign. And it is interesting to note that the people who worked on restoring the temple evidently had more integrity than the priests. PSALM 129: This is another Psalm of Ascent and another nationalistic psalm. In this year’s readings, in just a few days we will begin hearing the parts of Israel’s history where this psalm writer could have received the scars on his back. (I like how the GNT shows that the scars on the back might be taken figuratively for the whole race, instead of personally for just the writer. But one just listening to a reading of this chapter will probably not pick up on that detail.) In our time, this psalm gives us permission to pray that the Lord’s enemies do not prosper. JOHN 13b: John spends several chapters in the upper room, and this is the first. We hear the most complete account here about Judas, and only here do we find the story of Jesus washing the disciple's feet. This is another time where we see Jesus consciously acting out a parable for us. And because of that event, the interchange with Peter is more poignant, although John takes pity on Peter and does not include details of that conversation that are found elsewhere. GNT Translation notes: 2Kings 13:23 but the Lord was kind and merciful to them. He would not let them be destroyed but helped them because of his covenant with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. [The Lord//He] has never forgotten his people.====Ps. 129:8 No one who passes by [those people (enemies of ours)//0] will say, “May the Lord bless you! We bless you in the name of the Lord.”====John 13:24 Simon Peter motioned to him and said, “Ask him whom he is talking about.” 31 After Judas had left, Jesus said, “Now [My glory as the Son of Man//the Son of Man's glory] is revealed; now God's glory is revealed through [Me//him]. 32 And if [My Father, God’s//God's] glory is revealed through [Me//him], then God will reveal [my glory as the Son of Man//the glory of the Son of Man in himself], and he will do so at once.

NLT Translation notes:John 13:2 It was time for supper, and the devil had already prompted Judas[, 0>>//son of Simon Iscariot,] to betray Jesus. [Judas was the son of (a man named) Simon from the village Carioth.]|8 “No,” Peter protested, “you will never ever wash my feet!”Jesus replied, “[PET: If I don't wash your feet, you're no longer My follower.///Unless I wash you, you won’t belong to me.]”12 After washing their feet, he put on his robe again and sat down and asked, “Do you understand what I was [showing you//doing]?17 [You ought to wash each other’s feet.] Now that you know these things, God will bless you for doing them.[Repeating the thing Jesus wants them to do makes the last sentence more understandable. “Doing them” does not mean taking slaves or sending messages.]26 Jesus responded, “It is the one to whom I give the bread I dip in the bowl.” And when he had dipped it, he gave it to Judas, son of Simon[, the man from Carioth// Iscariot].31 As soon as Judas left the room, Jesus said, “The time has come for [Me] the Son of Man to enter into [my/his] glory, and God will be glorified because of [Me/him].32 And since [my Father, God,/God] receives glory because of [Me, his/the] Son,i he will soon [also] give glory to [Me/the Son].36 [0/Simon] Peter asked, “Lord, where are you going?”And Jesus replied, “You can’t go with me now, but you will follow me later.”
After Judas betrayed Jesus, the chief priests and pharisees conducted an illegal and unjust mock trial of Jesus. At the same time, Peter denies Christ openly and publicly, just as Jesus had predicted.
After Judas left the others in the Upper Room to go finalize his act of grand betrayal, Jesus affectionately spoke to those who remained, calling them His "little children" (John 13:33). He then gave them a new command."A new commandment I give to you, that you love (agape) one another; as I have loved (agape) you, that you also love (agape) one another. By this (your love for one another) all will know that you are My disciples, if you have love (agape) for one another" (John 13:34-35).Question: How is that even possible? How are we to love each other the way Christ loves us? What does that look like in real life? And why is our love for each other the defining mark of being a disciple of Christ?Do you want to find out if it is even possible to love like Jesus? If so, keep listening.The following is a study on John 13:31-38.
