done so many miracles before them, yet they believed not on Him: That the saying of
Esaias the prophet might be fulfilled, which He spake, ‘Lord, who hath believed our
report? And to whom hath the arm of the Lord been revealed?’ Therefore they could
not believe, because that Esaias said again, ‘He hath blinded their eyes, and
hardened their heart; that they should not see with their eyes, nor understand with
their heart, and be converted, and I should heal them.’ These things said Esaias,
when he saw His glory, and spake of Him.”
What did the Lord mean when He said in John 12:48 – 49, “He that rejecteth Me, and
receiveth not My words, hath One that judgeth him: the word that I have spoken, the
same shall judge him in the last day. For I have not spoken of Myself; but the Father
which sent Me, He gave Me a commandment, what I should say, and what I should
speak. And I know that his commandment is life everlasting: whatsoever I speak
therefore, even as the Father said unto me, so I speak.”
The Holy Spirit’s revelation of what the Lord Jesus said, is a great spiritual fact that
every word that the Lord Jesus spoke in the Books of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and
John came directly from God the Father. For it is written in John 14:7 ̶ 10, “‘If ye had
known Me, ye should have known My Father also: and from henceforth ye know
Him, and have seen Him.’ Philip saith unto Him, ‘Lord, shew us the Father, and it
sufficeth us.’ Jesus saith unto him, ‘Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast
thou not known Me, Philip? He that hath seen Me hath seen the Father; and how
sayest thou then, Shew us the Father? Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and
the Father in Me? The words that I speak unto you I speak not of Myself: but the
Father that dwelleth in Me, He doeth the works.’” Thus every word that the Lord
Jesus spoke in the Books of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John came directly from the
thoughts of God the Father and from the commandments of God the Father.
Chapter 13
“1 Now before the feast of the Passover, when Jesus knew that His hour was come
that he should depart out of this world unto the Father, having loved His own
which were in the world, He loved them unto the end. 2 And supper being ended,
the devil having now put into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon’s son, to betray
Him; 3 Jesus knowing that the Father had given all things into His hands, and that
He was come from God, and went to God; 4 He riseth from supper, and laid aside
His garments; and took a towel, and girded Himself. 5 After that He poureth water
into a bason, and began to wash the disciples’ feet, and to wipe them with the towel
wherewith He was girded. 6 Then cometh he to Simon Peter: and Peter saith unto
Him, ‘Lord, dost thou wash my feet?’ 7 Jesus answered and said unto Him, ‘What I
do thou knowest not now; but thou shalt know hereafter.’ 8 Peter saith unto Him,
‘Thou shalt never wash my feet.’ Jesus answered him, ‘If I wash thee not, thou hast
no part with Me.’ 9 Simon Peter saith unto Him, ‘Lord, not my feet only, but also
