Betrayal, Love and Denial

John 13:18-38

The order of events that unfolded that night (Passover) was important. After Jesus demonstrated servanthood by washing his disciples’ feet, he told them to do the same to one another. The tone shifted as Jesus revealed one of them (Judas) would betray him. Once Judas left, Jesus gave a new commandment to love one another and then foretold Peter’s denial of Jesus.
