How do the washing, betrayal disclosure and love command unfold?

Before the pasch, Jesus knows His hour to pass from this world to the Father has come and loves His own unto the end. The edition identifies the fourth and last pasch of His ministry, gives the common computation as the thirty-third year of our Lord and world year 4036, and acknowledges some chronologers’ opinion of His thirty-seventh year of age; it treats the chronological differences as of no consequence here. Supper is done, and the devil has put betrayal into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon’s son. Knowing that the Father has given all things into His hands and that He came from God and goes to God, Jesus rises, lays aside His garments, girds Himself with a towel, pours water into a basin and washes and wipes the disciples’ feet.

Peter asks whether the Lord washes his feet. Jesus says Peter does not know the act now but will hereafter. Peter says He shall never wash his feet. Jesus answers that unless He washes Peter, Peter has no part with Him. Peter then asks for hands and head as well as feet. Jesus says one washed needs only the feet washed and is wholly clean, adding that they are clean but not all: He knows His betrayer. After taking His garments and sitting again He asks whether they know what He has done. They rightly call Him Master and Lord; if He washes their feet they ought to wash one another’s. He has given an example to follow. A servant is not greater than his lord, nor an apostle than the one sending him. Knowing these things brings blessing if they do them. He does not speak of all, knowing those He chose, and cites the scripture about one eating His bread lifting a heel against Him. He tells them beforehand so that when it happens they may believe that He is He. Receiving whomever He sends is receiving Him and His sender.

Troubled in spirit, Jesus testifies that one of them will betray Him. The disciples look at one another, doubting whom He means. The disciple Jesus loves is leaning on His bosom. Peter beckons to him to ask who is meant; he asks Jesus. Jesus identifies the one to whom He gives dipped bread and gives it to Judas Iscariot, Simon’s son. After the morsel Satan enters Judas. Jesus says to do quickly what he does. The edition explicitly denies that this licenses or commands treason: Jesus will not hinder or resist Judas and is ready and desirous to suffer for redemption. No one at table knows the purpose of these words. Some think Judas, who has the purse, is to buy festival necessities or give to the poor. Judas immediately goes out; it is night.

Jesus says the Son of man is now glorified and God in Him. If God is glorified in Him, God will glorify Him in Himself immediately. Calling them little children, He says He is with them a little while; they will seek Him but cannot come where He goes, as He told the Jews and now tells them. His new commandment is to love one another as He has loved them; by their love all men will know they are His disciples. Peter asks where He goes. Jesus says Peter cannot follow now but will hereafter. Peter asks why and offers to lay down his life. Jesus questions that offer and says the cock will not crow until Peter has denied Him three times.
