This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
19. ἀπ' ἄρτι. From henceforth (Joh 14:7; Rev 14:13): see on Joh 2:10. Hitherto, for Judas’ sake, Jesus had been reserved about the presence of a traitor; to point him out might have deprived him of a chance of recovery. But every good influence has failed, even the Eucharist and the washing of his feet: and from this time onward, for the Eleven’s sake, He tells them. The success of such treachery might have shaken their faith had it taken them unawares: by foretelling it He turns it into an aid to faith. Comp. Joh 14:29. Fox ἐγώ εἰμι see on Joh 8:24; Joh 8:28; Joh 8:58.
