Summary of John 13:
In John 13, Jesus demonstrates ultimate humility by washing the feet of His disciples during the Last Supper, showing them the model of servant leadership. Peter resists at first, but Jesus explains that unless He washes them, they have no part with Him. Jesus reveals that one of them—Judas—will betray Him, and Judas departs to carry out his plan. Jesus then gives His disciples a “new commandment”: to love one another as He has loved them. Finally, He foretells Peter’s denial, reminding all that even the most devoted may falter, but His love and plan remain steadfast.
John 13 shows us that true greatness is found in humility, love, and serving others just as Jesus did.
