But for this purpose I came to this hour. John 13:21 When Jesus had said this, He became troubled (tarasso) in spirit, and testified and said, “Truly, truly, I say to you, that one of you will betray Me.” John 14:27 “Peace I leave with you; My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you.

Truly, truly, I say to you, a rooster will not crow until you deny Me three times. DISCIPLES TROUBLED CONTEXT: The scene continues in the upper room where the disciples had gathered with Jesus before He was arrested. Judas had been dismissed (Jn 13:30+) and Jesus had begun His valedictory address to the remaining 11 disciples. The world of the disciples was about to be shattered. They would be bewildered, fearful and confused by the events that would soon transpire. Anticipating their emotional turmoil, Jesus spoke to comfort their hearts. Imagine leaving everything for a person, and now that person tells you that they themselves are leaving! Edwin Blum writes "The disciples were completely bewildered and discouraged. Jesus had said He was going away (Jn 7:34; 8:21; 12:8, 35; 13:33), that He would die (Jn 12:32-33), that one of the Twelve was a traitor (Jn 13:21), that Peter would disown Him three times (Jn 13:38), that Satan was at work against all of them (Luke 22:31-32), and that all the disciples would fall away (Matt. 26:31). The cumulative weight of these revelations must have greatly depressed them. (See Bible Knowledge Commentary - scroll up and down for more text). (ED: I would add they were also troubled because they were ashamed at having failed to wash one another's feet!) This statement of the Lord in verse one reveals that we are responsible for our heart’s condition. -- Rod Mattoon J
