This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Joh 13:7. Ὅ, what) A most evident axiom.-οὐκ-ἄρτι-δὲ μετὰ ταῦτα) A similar sentiment occurs, Joh 13:36, “Whither I go, thou canst not follow Me now, but thou shalt follow Me afterwards.”-μετὰ ταῦτα, hereafter) See Joh 13:12, “So after He had washed their feet, etc., He said, Know ye what I have done to you?” (so that in this view the words, γνώσῃ, γινώσκετε, thou shalt know, Joh 13:7, and know ye, Joh 13:12, have a most close connection): also Joh 13:17, “If ye know these things, happy are ye, if ye do them;” or even Luk 12:37, “Blessed are those servants, whom the Lord, when He cometh, shall find watching: verily, I say unto you, that He shall gird Himself, and make them to sit down to meat, and will come forth and serve them.” The fulfilment is not merely hereafter, but begins at once, even more speedily than the promise seems to indicate.
