John 13:17

Read in context

John 13:15–19 · Berean Standard Bible

15 I have set you an example so that you should do as I have done for you.

16 Truly, truly, I tell you, no servant is greater than his master, nor is a messenger greater than the one who sent him.

17 If you know these things, you will be blessed if you do them.

18 I am not speaking about all of you; I know whom I have chosen. But this is to fulfill the Scripture: ‘The one who shares My bread has lifted up his heel against Me.’

19 I am telling you now before it happens, so that when it comes to pass, you will believe that I am He.
