Seeking Truth Bible Study: Gospel of John (Chapter 13 Part 1)

Chapter 13 of the Gospel of John marks the end of the Book of Signs and the
beginning of the Book of Glory. The hour of glory—the hour of the crucifixion—has started. Chapters
13-16 are an extended discourse by Jesus, who is preparing his disciples for his exodus, his departure
from this world back to his heavenly Father. The washing of the disciples’ feet is laden with nuptial
imagery, a theme that runs throughout the entire Bible.
