In John 13:18-38, we pick up the conversation between Jesus and his disciples over dinner. After he had washed their feet, he announced that one of them would betray him. Once Judas had gone out into the night, Jesus gave his followers of every age the New Commandment: to love each other as he loved us.
Although God gave humanity up to our sins, he also gave up his Son for our sins.
As Paul headed towards Jerusalem, he took with him fruit from his ministry among the nations.
As opposition grew toward Jesus, he anticipated that it would reach his followers as well and prepare them for how to live.
