JOHN Chap. XIII. from Ver. 31. to the end. and Chap. XIV. all the Chapters.

CHRISTS speech to comfort his Disciples, &c.

THe first words, Therefore when he was gone out, continue the story: When Judas was gone out about his cursed work, and the hour was now come when Christs Passion was beginning, [for we may justly take his being sold, for a part of his sufferings] he gi∣veth his Disciples divers lessons, some of admonition, some of instruction, some of comfort. For the better judging of the time of this speech [besides the connexion which joyns it to Judas his going forth upon the devils entring into him with the sop] these two things are observable. 1. That the last words of the 14th. Chapter are, Arise, let us go hence, by which it is plain, that the speech contained in this present Section, and the speech in Joh. 15, & 16, and 17. were spoken at two several times and in two several places, That, at the Passover supper, for John tells, Chap. 18. 1. that when Jesus had finished that speech, he went over the brook Kidron: but this, before, and in another place, because upon the ending of it it is plain Jesus removed to another place, by his saying, Arise let us go hence. 2. That Christ saith, Yet a little time I am with you, Chap. 13. ver. 33. Yet a little while and the world seeth me no more, Chap. 14. v. 19. Hereafter I shall not talk much with you, ver. 30. which intimate some space of time yet to come, and not so suddain a parting, as the space was betwixt his rising from his last supper, and his apprehension. This speech therefore was spoken at Bethany after Judas his going out: and the Section contains the sum of Christs discourse with his Disciples, while he staied there, which was the night that Judas received the sop, and the next day and night, and till towards the evening of the day after: And the last words, Arise, let us go hence, intimate his removal from Bethany to Jerusalem on the Passover day. Judas either that night that he had received the sop, or the next day, layeth the plot with the high-Priests for the delive∣ring up of his Master at the feast, and having so done, he returneth to his Master to Bethany again. And the next day which was the Passover day, Christ sendeth Peter and John from thence to prepare the Passover for him, and when he saw time, he calls, Arise, let us go hence, and so he setteth for Jerusalem with the rest of the Disciples and Judas in the company.
