25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	15 <p>1727 Above, the Evangelist set forth some of the events leading
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	16 to Christ's passion and death; in this part he shows how Christ prepared his
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	17 disciples before his passion. First, we see how he formed them by his example;
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	18 secondly, how he comforted them with his words (c 14); thirdly, how he
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	19 strengthened them by the help of his prayers (c 17). Concerning the first he
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	20 does two things: first, he presents the example Christ gave for his disciples
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	21 to imitate; and secondly we see the weakness of the disciples, who were not yet
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	22 ready to follow him (v 21). Concerning the first he does three things: first,
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	23 he sets forth the example; secondly, he shows that the example was useful (v
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	24 6); thirdly, we see Jesus asking them to imitate it (v 12). Concerning the
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	25 first he does two things: first, he describes the love of Christ, who is giving
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	26 the example; secondly, the action in which he gave the example (v 2).
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	27 Concerning the first he mentions three things: first, the feast about to be
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	28 celebrated; secondly, the approaching death of Christ; thirdly, Christ's
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	29 burning love.

25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	31 <p>1728 The feast at hand was the Passover; so he says, <b>Now
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	32 before the feast of the Passover</b>. Here we should note that some say the
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	33 [Latin] word <i>pascha</i> comes from the Greek word for "passion," and that
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	34 this feast is called the <i>Pascha</i> because it is then that we celebrate the
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	35 passion of our Lord. As a matter of fact, the word <i>pascha</i> in Greek does
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	36 mean "to suffer." Yet the primary origin of this word is from the Hebrew word, <i>pesah</i>,
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	37 which means a "passage," as in Exodus [12:11]: "It is the <i>pesah</i>,"
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	38 passage, or a passing over, "of the Lord." This is the meaning the Evangelist
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	39 gives it here because of two passings. The first was the passing of the angel
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	40 striking down the first-born of the Egyptians and sparing the first-born of the
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	41 Hebrews (Ex 12:12); and the other was the passage of the children of Israel through the Red Sea. So it was reasonable to call this feast the <i>Pascha</i>, [translated
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	42 into English as Passover].
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	43
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	44 <p>We can say that our Passover takes
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	45 its meaning from both languages, Greek and Hebrew. For the passage of Christ
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	46 from this world to the Father took place through his passion. "He passed about
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	47 doing good and healing all" [Acts 10:38]. Again, all of us who follow Christ
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	48 have our own passage: either by reform and martyrdom, according to the saying,
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	49 "We have passed through fire and water and you have brought us to a place of
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	50 refreshment" [Ps 66:12]; or by the desire of our mind aspiring to heavenly
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	51 things: "Pass over to me all you who desire me and be filled with my fruits"
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	52 [Sir 24:19].
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	53
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	54 <p>1729 As we read in Exodus (23:14), the Jews had three great
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	55 feasts, when they gathered together in a place chosen by the Lord: The Pesah,
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	56 when the lamb was sacrificed, Pentecost, and the Feast of Tabernacles, that is,
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	57 the <i>Skenopegia</i>. But the greatest feast was that of the Passover.
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	58
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	59 <p>A problem arises as to why he says
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	60 here, <b>before the feast of the Passover</b>, for the feast of the Passover is
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	61 when the lamb was sacrificed, that is, on the 14th day of the month. So since
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	62 he says, <b>before the feast of the Passover</b>, it seems that this was taking
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	63 place on the 13th day, the day before the 14th. And indeed, the Greeks accept
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	64 this, and say that our Lord suffered on the 14th, when the Jews were supposed
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	65 to celebrate the Passover, and that our Lord, knowing that his passion was
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	66 near, anticipated the celebration of the Passover and celebrated his own
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	67 Passover on the day before the Passover feast of the Jews. And because it is
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	68 commanded in Exodus (12:18) that from the evening of the 14th day to the 21st
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	69 day the Hebrews should not have any leavened bread, they further say that the
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	70 Lord celebrated not with unleavened bread, but with leavened bread, because
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	71 Hebrews did have leavened bread on the 13th day, that is, before the Passover.
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	72
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	73 <p>But the other three Evangelists do
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	74 not agree with this, for they say the time was the first day of Unleavened
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	75 Bread, when the lamb was to be sacrificed (Mt 26:17; Mk 14:12; Lk 22:7). It
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	76 follows from this that our Lord's supper took place on the very day that the
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	77 Jews sacrificed the lamb.
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	78
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	79 <p>1730 The Greeks respond to this that the other Evangelists
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	80 did not report this truly; and so John, who wrote the last of the Gospels,
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	81 corrected them. But it is heresy to say that there is anything false not only
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	82 in the Gospels but anywhere in the canonical scriptures. Consequently, we have
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	83 to say that all the Evangelists state the same thing and do not disagree.
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	84
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	85 <p>To elucidate this it should be
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	86 noted that, as is stated in Leviticus (23:5), the feasts of the Jews began on
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	87 the evening of the preceding day. The reason for this was that they reckoned
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	88 their days according to the moon, which first appears in the evening; so, they
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	89 counted their days from one sunset to the next. Thus for them, the Passover
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	90 began on the evening of the preceding day and ended on the evening of the day
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	91 of the Passover. We celebrate feasts in the same way; so something that takes
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	92 place with us on the vigil of Christmas is said to have happened on Christmas.
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	93 And so the other Evangelists, using this way of speaking, said that the supper
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	94 took place on the first day of Unleavened Bread, meaning it took place on the
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	95 evening before the first full day of the feast of Unleavened Bread. But here,
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	96 John the Evangelist regards the Passover as that entire daytime which was
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	97 celebrated, but not as the evening before, which was also celebrated. Thus he says,
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	98 <b>before the feast of the Passover</b>. Consequently, it is clear that our
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	99 Lord's supper took place on the 14th day in the evening [the beginning of the
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	100 14th day, the day beginning in the evening].
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	101
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	102 <p>1731 The death of Christ, which was approaching, was his passage
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	103 from this world by his passion. And as to this he says, <b>Jesus knew that his
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	104 hour had come</b>: for this feast was a symbol of the passion of Christ, "All
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	105 these things happened to them as symbols" [1 Cor 10:11]. So he at once mentions
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	106 the reality, that is, the passion of Christ. And as a way of showing that the
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	107 word <i>pascha</i> came from <i>pesah</i>, meaning a passage, he mentions his
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	108 passage, <b>to depart</b>, pass, <b>out of this world to the Father</b>.
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	109
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	110 <p>1732 Here the Evangelist mentions three things about the
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	111 passion of Christ: first, that it was foreseen; secondly, that it was fitting;
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	112 thirdly, it was a source of benefits and exaltation.
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	113
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	114 <p>It was foreseen and not fortuitous;
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	115 so he says, <b>Jesus knew</b>. He is saying in effect; Jesus suffered knowingly
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	116 and willingly, not unexpectedly and unwillingly. "Jesus, knowing all that was
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	117 to befall him" (18:4). The opposite is said of us: "There is great affliction
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	118 for man because he is ignorant of things past, and things to come he cannot
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	119 know in any way" [Eccl 8:7].
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	120
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	121 <p>1733 The passion of Christ was fitting, first as to its
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	122 time; and as to this he says, <b>that his hour had come</b>, which was the time
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	123 of the Passover, when his passage would be by the cross: "There is a time and
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	124 opportunity for every business" [Eccl 8:6]. This is the hour of which he said,
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	125 "My hour has not yet come" (2:4). Yet this hour was not a matter of fate, as
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	126 though governed by the course and arrangement of the stars; it was determined
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	127 by the disposition and providence of God. I say, therefore, it was determined
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	128 for the Jewish Passover because it was fitting to this Jewish feast that the
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	129 reality follow the symbol, that is, that when the lamb, which was a symbol of
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	130 Christ, was sacrificed, Christ, who was truly the Lamb of God, should be

25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	135 <p>It was also fitting to the

25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	139 (17:6). What remained, therefore, was to accomplish his passion and the work of

25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	143 <p>1734 The passion of Christ was a source of benefits and
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	144 glory, not of defeat, because it was in order that he could <b>depart out of
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	145 this world to the Father</b>, by making his human nature a partaker in the
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	146 glory of the Father: "I am ascending to my Father and your Father, to my God
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	147 and your God" (20:17). This does not mean that he would pass from one place to
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	148 another, since God the Father is not contained by any place: "Do I not fill
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	149 heaven and earth? (Jer 23:24). Rather, just as Christ is said to have come from
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	150 the Father, not by leaving him, but by assuming an inferior nature like our
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	151 own, so he is said to have returned to the Father insofar as, even in his human
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	152 nature, he became a sharer in the Father's glory. "The life he lives he lives

25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	156 <p>1735 Then when he says, <b>having loved his own who were in
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	157 the world, he loved them to the end</b>, he commends the intense love of
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	158 Christ; and this on four points.
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	159
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	160 <p>First, because his love was first,
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	161 according to "Not that we have loved God, but that he has first loved us" [1 Jn
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	162 4:10]. And as to this he says, <b>having loved his own</b>, trying to suggest
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	163 that this was in advance of our love. I say he loved us before he created us:
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	164 "For thou lovest all things that exist, and have loathing for none of the
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	165 things which thou hast made" (Wis 11:24). He loved us before he called us: "I
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	166 have loved you with an everlasting love; therefore, I have drawn you, taking
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	167 pity on you" [Jer 31:3]. And he loved us before he redeemed us: "Greater love
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	168 has not man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends" (15:13).
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	169
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	170 <p>1736 Secondly, his love is commended as fitting, because he
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	171 loved <b>his own</b>. Here we should note that God loves persons in various
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	172 ways, depending on the various ways they are Christ's. Now, one can be his in
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	173 three ways. First, by creation; and God loves these by conserving their goods
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	174 of nature: "He came to his own home, and his own people," by creation,
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	175 "received him not" (1:11). Others are his by donation, that is, those given to
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	176 him by God the Father through faith: "Thine they were, and thou gave them to me,
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	177 and they have kept thy word" (17:6); and he loves these by preserving their
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	178 goods of grace. Finally, some are his by a special devotion: "Behold, we are
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	179 your bone and flesh" (1 Chron 11:1); he loves these by consoling them in a
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	180 special way.<a href="#_ftn2" name="_ftnref2">[2]</a>
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	181
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	182 <p>1737 Thirdly, Christ's love is commended because it was
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	183 needed, since he loved <b>his own who were in the world</b>. Those who were
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	184 already in the glory of the Father are his, because even our fathers of long
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	185 time past were his insofar as they hoped to be set free by him: "All his holy
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	186 ones are in his hand" [Deut 33:3]. But these do not need such love as this as
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	187 much as those who were in the world; so he says, <b>who were in the world</b>,
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	188 that is, in body, but not in mind.
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	189
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	190 <p>1738 Fourthly, his love is commended because it was perfect,
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	191 so he says, <b>he loved them to the end</b>. Now there are two kind of ends:
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	192 the end in the intention, and the end in execution. The end in intention is
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	193 that to which our intention is directed; and this end ought to be eternal life,
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	194 according to, "The return you get is sanctification and its end, eternal life"
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	195 (Rom 6:22). Again this end should be Christ: "For Christ is the end of the law,
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	196 that every one who has faith may be justified" (Rom 10:4). But these two are
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	197 really one end, because eternal life is nothing other than enjoying Christ in
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	198 his divinity: "And this is eternal life, that they know thee the only true God,
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	199 and Jesus Christ whom thou hast sent" (17:3). From this point of view he says, <b>he
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	200 loved them to the end</b>, in order to lead them to himself, the end; or, to
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	201 lead them to eternal life, which is the same thing. "I have loved you with an
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	202 everlasting love; therefore, I have drawn you, taking pity on you" [Jer 31:3].
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	203
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	204 <p>The end in execution is the
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	205 terminus or outcome of a thing; so in this sense, death can be called an end.
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	206 Thus he could say, <b>he loved them to the end</b>, that is, up to death. Used
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	207 in this way, it can have three meanings. The first, mentioned by Augustine, is
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	208 a very human way, and means that Christ loved his own until he died, but then
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	209 no longer.<a href="#_ftn3" name="_ftnref3">[3]</a>
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	210 This meaning is false: for Christ, who was not ended by death, by no means ends
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	211 his love at death. Another meaning would take the word "to" as indicating a
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	212 cause; and then it would mean, <b>he loved them to the end</b>, that is, his
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	213 love for them led him to death: "He loved me and gave himself for me" (Gal
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	214 2:20). A third meaning would be this: although Christ had already shown them
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	215 many signs of his love, yet <b>to the end</b>, that is, at the time of his
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	216 death, he showed them signs of a greater love: "I did not say these things to
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	217 you from the beginning, because I was with you" (16:4). He would be saying in
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	218 effect: it was not necessary then to show you how much I loved you, but now
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	219 that I am leaving it is, so that my love and the memory of me might be
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	220 impressed more deeply into your hearts.
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	221
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	222 <p>1739 Then when he says, <b>during supper</b>, he describes
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	223 the act by which Christ gave his example. First, he mentions the time of the
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	224 action; secondly, the dignity of the one acting (v 3); thirdly, his humility (v
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	225 4). He describes the time in two ways: in one way, as the time of Christ's
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	226 love; in another way, by emphasizing the sin of Judas.
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	227
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	228 <p>1740 In regard to the first, he says, literally, "when
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	229 supper was done." Here we should note that both things that are permanent and
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	230 things that are successive are said to be done or made. A permanent thing is
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	231 said to be done or made when it has come to the perfection of its proper
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	232 species and form; thus a house is said to be done or made when it has proper
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	233 form. But in something which is successive, it is said to be made or done when
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	234 it is over or is finished; thus the world is said to have been made when it was
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	235 completed. But even things like this can be said to be made or done when they
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	236 receive their appropriate species. So when he says here, literally, "when
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	237 supper was done," he does not mean it was finished and over with: for after
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	238 Christ washed the feet of the disciples, he returned to his place and gave the
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	239 morsel to Judas. "When supper was done" rather means that it was prepared and
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	240 now brought to his own species: for the group had already begun to eat, and
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	241 then Christ got up. Thus Christ washed the feet of the disciples <b>during
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	242 supper</b>.
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	243
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	244 <p>We read about such a supper in Luke
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	245 [14:16], "A man once gave a great supper." A breakfast and supper are different.
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	246 What is given at the beginning of the day is called a breakfast, while what is
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	247 given at its end is called supper. Likewise, that spiritual nourishment
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	248 suitable for those beginning is called breakfast, while that nourishment
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	249 appropriate for the advanced is more like a supper.
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	250
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	251 <p>1741 Then when the Evangelist says, <b>when the devil had

25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	253 he depicts the time by emphasizing the sin of the traitor. He mentions his sin
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	254 for two reasons. First, the better to bring out the evil of Judas, who in spite
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	255 of so many tokens of love and humble service, considered committing such a
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	256 great sin: the Psalm (41:9) says: "Even my bosom friend in whom I trusted, who
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	257 ate of my bread, has lifted his heel against me." And secondly, the better to
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	258 show the wonderful love of Christ who, although knowing this, treated him with
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	259 love and humility by washing his feet: "With those who hated peace I was

25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	263 seems he can, for a Psalm speaks of things "sent by evil angels" [Ps 77:49]. To
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	264 explain this, we should note that what is in a person's thought and will is
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	265 said to be in his heart. So the statement, <b>when the devil had already put it
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	266 into the heart of Judas</b>, should be understood to refer to his will.

25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	268 <p>Understanding it the above way,
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	269 there are two ways something can be put into our heart. First, directly; and in
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	270 this way only one who has the power to move our will from within can put
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	271 something into our heart. Only God can do this; consequently, he alone can
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	272 directly move our will: "The king's heart is a stream of water in the hand," in
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	273 the power, "of the Lord; he turns it wherever he will" (Prv 21:10). But because
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	274 the will is also moved by an external object, something apprehended as a good,
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	275 it follows that anyone who brings to mind, or suggests that something is good
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	276 is said to put something into our heart indirectly, by making us apprehend
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	277 something as good, which in turn moves our will. This happens in two ways. By
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	278 an external suggestion, and then one person can put something into another's
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	279 heart; or by an interior suggestion, which is the way the devil puts something
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	280 into our heart. For our imagination, since it is a physical reality, is subject
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	281 to the power of the devil when God allows it. So, whether we be awake or
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	282 asleep, he forms in it certain images which, when apprehended, move our will to
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	283 desire something. And so the devil puts something into our heart, not directly
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	284 by moving our heart, but indirectly, by suggestion.<a href="#_ftn4"

25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	287 <p>1743 Then (v 3) he considers the dignity of the one acting,
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	288 for "The greater you are, the more you must humble yourself" (Sir 3:18). So the
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	289 Evangelist, about to speak of Christ's humility, treats first of his very great
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	290 dignity because of his knowledge, saying, <b>Jesus, knowing that the Father had
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	291 given all things into his hands</b>. For spiritual gifts are such that they are
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	292 not unrecognized when given: "Now we have received not the spirit of the world,
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	293 but the Spirit which is from God, that we might understand the gifts bestowed
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	294 on us by God" (1 Cor 2:12). Thus, Christ knew what had been given to him by
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	295 God; and the Evangelist mentions this so Christ's humility would be more
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	296 admirable. For sometimes it happens that a person is of great dignity, yet
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	297 because of his simplicity he does not realize it. If such a person were to do
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	298 something humble, it would not be regarded as worthy of great praise: "If you
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	299 do not know yourself, O fairest among women…" [Song 1:8]. But if someone does know
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	300 his own dignity, and still his affections are inclined to what is humble, his
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	301 humility should be praised. And this is why the Evangelist says, <b>Jesus,
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	302 knowing that the Father had given all things into his hands</b>; and he still
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	303 did not neglect to do what was humble.
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	304
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	305 <p>Secondly, we see his dignity as to
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	306 his power, because <b>the Father had given all things into his hands</b>, that
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	307 is, into his power. God gave, in time, to Christ as man, what was in the power
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	308 of the Son from eternity: "All authority in heaven and earth has been given to
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	309 me" (Mt 28:18). He says, <b>the Father had given all things into his hands</b>,
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	310 for two reasons. First, to show that Christ did not suffer against his will.
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	311 For if all things were in <b>his hands</b>, that is, in his power, it is clear
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	312 that his enemies could do nothing to him against his will. Secondly, because
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	313 when a person of little importance is honored, he easily becomes proud; nor
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	314 does he do anything humble, lest it seem to lessen his dignity. But when one of
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	315 great dignity is honored, he does not neglect the humble things. And so
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	316 Christ's dignity is mentioned here.
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	317
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	318 <p>Thirdly, we see his dignity because
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	319 of his nobility, when he says, <b>that he had come from God and was going to
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	320 God</b>: "living with God" as Wisdom (8:3) says. Fourthly, his dignity because of
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	321 his holiness, because he <b>was going to God</b>, for our holiness lies in our
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	322 going to God. He mentions this because since Christ is going to God, it is
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	323 special to him to lead others to God. This is done especially by humility and
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	324 love; and so he offers them an example of humility and love.

25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	341 commends his humility, which Christ showed by washing the feet of the
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	342 disciples. First, the Evangelist mentions Christ's preparation for this humble
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	343 task; secondly, the service itself (v 5).
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	344
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	345 <p>1745 In regard to the first, we should note that in
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	346 performing this humble task, Christ shows himself a servant: "The Son of man
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	347 came not to be served but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many"
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	348 (Mt 20:28). Now three things are necessary for a good servant. First, he should
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	349 be careful to notice anything that might be lacking in his service; and this
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	350 would be hampered if he were sitting or lying down. Thus servants stand. So he
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	351 says, Christ <b>rose from supper</b>: "For which is the greater, one who sits
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	352 at table, or one who serves" (Lk 22:27). Secondly, a servant should not be
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	353 encumbered, so he can do everything necessary to his service. And since too
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	354 much clothing is such a hindrance, our Lord <b>laid aside his garments</b>.
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	355 Thirdly, a good servant is prepared, having at hand everything which he needs.
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	356 In Luke (10:40) we read that Martha "was distracted with much serving." So our
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	357 Lord <b>girded himself with a towel</b>, so he would be ready not just to wash
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	358 their feet, but to dry them as well. And since he who had come from God and was
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	359 going to God is now washing the feet of others, he is treading under foot the
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	360 universal tendency to pride.
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	361
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	362 <p>1746 As to its mystical meaning, this action can be referred
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	363 to two things: the incarnation of Christ and his passion. If it is referred to
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	364 his incarnation, it tells us three things about Christ. First, he was willing
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	365 to help the human race, indicated by the fact that he <b>rose from supper</b>.
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	366 For God seems to be sitting down as long as he allows us to be troubled; but
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	367 when he rescues us from it, he seems to rise, as the Psalm (43:26) says: "Rise
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	368 up, come to our help." Secondly, it indicates that he emptied himself: not that
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	369 he abandoned his great dignity, but he hid it by taking on our smallness:
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	370 "Truly, thou art a God who hidest thyself" (Is 45:15). This is shown by the
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	371 fact that he <b>laid aside his garments</b>: "He emptied himself, taking the
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	372 form of a servant" (Phil 2:7). Thirdly, the fact that he <b>girded himself with
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	373 a towel</b> indicates that he took on our mortality: "taking the form of a
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	374 servant, being born in the likeness of men" (Phil 2:7).

25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	376 <p>If this event is referred to the
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	377 passion of Christ, then he literally set aside his garments when the soldiers
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	378 stripped him: "for my clothing they cast lots" (19:23). And he was girded with
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	379 a towel in the tomb. And also in his passion he laid aside the garments of our
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	380 mortality and put on a towel, that is, the splendor of immortality: "Christ being
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	381 raised from the dead will never die again; death no longer has dominion over
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	382 him" (Rom 6:9).

25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	384 <p>1747 Then when the Evangelist says, <b>Then he poured water
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	385 into a basin…</b>, he describes Christ's service, and shows his admirable
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	386 humility in three ways. First, as to what kind of service it was, for it was
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	387 very lowly, since the Lord of majesty stooped down to wash the feet of his
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	388 servants. Secondly, as to the number of things he did, for he put water into

25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	390 was done: for Christ did not do it through others or with their help, but by
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	391 himself. "The greater you are, the more you must humble yourself" (Sir 3:18).

25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	393 <p>1748 As for the mystical meaning, three things can be
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	394 gathered from these events. First, the pouring out of Christ's blood on the
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	395 earth is indicated by his pouring water into the basin. For the blood of Jesus
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	396 can be called water because it has the power to cleanse: "He washed us from our
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	397 sins in his own blood" (Rev 1:4). And so blood and water came out of his side
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	398 at the same time to show us that his blood washes away sins. Or, water can
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	399 indicate the passion of Christ, for in Scripture water signifies tribulations:
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	400 "Save me O God! For the waters," that is, tribulations, "have come up to my
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	401 soul" [Ps 69:1]. Therefore, <b>he poured water into a basin</b>, that is, he
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	402 impressed the memory of his passion on the minds of the faithful by their faith
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	403 and devotion: "Remember my affliction and my bitterness, the wormwood and the
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	404 gall!" (Lam 3:19).
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	405
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	406 <p>1749 Secondly, when he says, <b>and began to wash</b>, it
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	407 indicates our human imperfection. For after Christ, the apostles were more
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	408 perfect than others, and yet even they needed to be washed, since they were
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	409 unclean to some degree. We can understand by this that no matter how perfect a
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	410 person may be, he acquires some uncleanness, and still needs to become more
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	411 perfect: "Who can say, 'I have made my heart clean; I am pure from my sin'?"
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	412 (Prv 20:9). However, only the feet of such persons are unclean. But others are
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	413 not only unclean in their feet, they are stained all over. For those who lie
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	414 down in earthly uncleanness are defiled all over; thus, those who cling
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	415 entirely to the love of earthly things, both in their affections and their
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	416 senses, are entirely unclean. But those who stand, that is, tend to heavenly
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	417 things in mind and desire, become unclean only on their feet. For just as a
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	418 person who is standing must at least touch the earth with his feet, so we, as
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	419 long as we live this mortal life which needs earthly things to sustain the
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	420 body, acquire some uncleanness, at least because of our sensuality. Thus our
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	421 Lord told the disciples to shake the dust from their feet (Lk 9:5). The
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	422 Evangelist says that Christ <b>began to wash</b>, because the cleansing of our
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	423 earthly affections begins here and is completed in the future. Then the words
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	424 of Isaiah (35:8) will be fulfilled: "It shall be called the Holy Way."
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	425
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	426 <p>Note that, according to Origen, our
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	427 Lord began to wash the feet of his disciples right before his passion, for if
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	428 he had washed them a long time before, they would have become dirty again.<a
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	429 href="#_ftn6" name="_ftnref6">[6]</a>
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	430 So he began to wash them a short time before he would wash the apostles with
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	431 the water of the Holy Spirit, after his passion: "Before many days you shall be
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	432 baptized with the Holy Spirit" (Act 1:5). In short, when our Lord put water
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	433 into the basin, this indicated the pouring out of his blood; and when he began
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	434 to wash the feet of his apostles, this indicated the cleansing of our sins.
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	435
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	436 <p>1750 Thirdly, we have indicated the fact that Christ took upon
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	437 himself our punishments; for he not only cleansed us from our stains, but took
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	438 upon himself the punishments they deserved. For our own punishments and penance
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	439 would not be enough unless they were founded on the merits and power of
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	440 Christ's passion. This is shown by the fact that he wiped the feet of his
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	441 disciples with his towel, that is, his body (1 Pet 2:21).
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	442
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	443 <p>1751 Then when the Evangelist says, <b>he came to Simon
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	444 Peter</b>, he shows the example was beneficial by means of an encounter between
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	445 the Teacher and the disciple. In this encounter our Lord shows that this
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	446 example is both a mystery and necessary (v 8); and secondly, that it is
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	447 appropriate (v 9). As to the first, the Evangelist does two things. First, he
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	448 mentions the circumstances for Christ's speaking; secondly, what Christ said (v
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	449 7).
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	450
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	451 <p>1752 The occasion for Christ's words was the refusal of
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	452 Peter to allow this example of humility; he says, <b>he came to Simon Peter,
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	453 and Peter said to him, Lord, do you wash my feet? </b>There are three
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	454 explanations for this.
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	455
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	456 <p>According to Origen, our Lord began
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	457 to wash their feet by beginning with the last.<a href="#_ftn7" name="_ftnref7"
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	458 title="">[7]</a>
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	459 The reason for this was that just as a doctor who must care for a number of
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	460 sick begins with those who need it more, so too Christ, when he washed the
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	461 grimy feet of his disciples, began with the dirtiest, and then came to Peter,
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	462 who needed it less than the others: "beginning with the last, up to the first"
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	463 (Mt 20:8). The Evangelist seems to indicate this: for Christ <b>began to wash
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	464 the disciples' feet</b>, and then he follows this with, <b>he came to Simon
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	465 Peter</b>. It seems from this that Jesus washed the feet of the others first.
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	466
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	467 <p>1753 If you ask why Peter was the first to object, Origen
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	468 replies that this was due to the intense love Peter had for Christ.<a
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	469 href="#_ftn8" name="_ftnref8">[8]</a>
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	470 The other disciples had a certain respectful awe and fear of Christ, and so
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	471 complied without question to everything he did. But Peter, more aflame with
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	472 love - "Simon, son of John, do you love me more than these?…Yes Lord; you know
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	473 that I love you" (21:15) - and taking confidence from this love, refuses to
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	474 comply and asks to know why: "A true friend will act as your equal and assume
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	475 authority in your household" [Sir 6:11]. This is why in Scripture Peter often
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	476 asks for explanations and does not hesitate to say what he thinks is best.
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	477
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	478 <p>1754 The second explanation is by Chrysostom.<a href="#_ftn9"
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	479 name="_ftnref9">[9]</a>
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	480 He says that Christ was ready to start with the first of the apostles, but
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	481 Judas, the betrayer, in his foolishness and pride, pushed ahead of Peter. None
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	482 of the others would have dared to go ahead of Peter. Thus the Evangelist is
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	483 speaking of Judas when he says, <b>he began to wash the disciples' feet</b>,
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	484 that is, the feet of Judas, who, as proud and foolish, would make no objection
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	485 or refuse to allow what our Lord did. But when he came to Peter, who revered
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	486 and loved his Teacher, Peter refused with awe and asked for an explanation. And
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	487 any of the others would have done the same.
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	488
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	489 <p>1755 The third explanation is by Augustine.<a href="#_ftn10"
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	490 name="_ftnref10">[10]</a>
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	491 He says the words of the Evangelist do not show that our Lord first washed the
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	492 feet of the other disciples and then came to Peter. Rather, according to his
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	493 custom, the Evangelist first mentions the incident and after that gives the
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	494 order of events within in, just as he did in Chapter 6. So he first mentions
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	495 the entire incident, that is, Christ washed the feet of his disciples; and
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	496 then, if we should ask how this was done, he says that he came first to Simon
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	497 Peter. And so he was the first to refuse, saying, <b>Lord, do you wash my feet?</b>
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	498
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	499 <p>These words have great depth. He
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	500 says, <b>Lord, do you</b>, who are the Son of the living God, <b>wash my feet</b>,

25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	504 5:8). <b>Lord, do you</b>, who are the Creator, <b>wash my feet</b>, I who am a
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	505 creature and of little faith? Peter said these things struck by awe at the
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	506 realization of the dignity of Christ, as in "I have considered your works, and
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	507 have feared" [Hab 1:3].
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	508
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	509 <p>1756 Then (v 7), we see the words of Christ, which show that
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	510 this action is a mystery. Christ said to Peter: <b>What I am doing you do not
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	511 know now, but afterward you will understand</b>. This action is both an example
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	512 and a mystery. It is an example of humility to be practiced: "For I have given
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	513 you an example, that you also should do as I have done to you" (v 15) And it is
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	514 a mystery because it signifies an interior cleansing: "He who has bathed does
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	515 not need to wash, except for his feet" (v 10).
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	516
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	517 <p>So what Christ said can be understood
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	518 in two ways. In one way, <b>What I am doing you do not know now</b>, that is,

25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	529 <p>1757 Next, he shows that this action is necessary. First,
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	530 the Evangelist mentions what Peter said which provoked Christ's answer;
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	531 secondly, we see what Christ said.
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	532
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	533 <p>1758 Peter says, <b>You shall never wash my feet</b>. He is
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	534 saying in effect: By no means will I submit to this from my Teacher, my Lord
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	535 and my God. And although Peter said this out of zeal, it was an imprudent and
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	536 disordered zeal: "They have a zeal for God, but it is not enlightened" (Rom
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	537 10:2). His zeal was disordered for three reasons. He refused something that was
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	538 beneficial and necessary; for as we read: "We do not know how to pray as we
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	539 ought" (Rom 8:26). And so it is imprudent to refuse what God gives us, even if
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	540 it seems disadvantageous. Paul too asked to be freed from his thorn (2 Cor
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	541 12:8), yet it was for his benefit. Again, it seemed to indicate a certain
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	542 disrespect for Christ by wanting to go against his plans. Finally, it seemed to
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	543 disparage his companions in that the others, according to Origen, yielded to
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	544 Christ without an argument, while Peter refused, saying, <b>You shall never
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	545 wash my feet</b>.<a href="#_ftn11" name="_ftnref11">[11]</a>

25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	548 <p>1759 Our Lord reproved him, saying, <b>If I do not wash you,
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	549 you have not part in me</b>. This statement can refer to two things: to the
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	550 action that Christ was performing, or to what the action signified.
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	551
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	552 <p>If we refer it to what the action
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	553 signified, the meaning is clear. For no one can share in the eternal
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	554 inheritance and be a joint heir with Christ unless he is spiritually clean, for
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	555 we read: "But nothing unclean shall enter it" (Rev 21:27). And in the Psalm
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	556 (15:1) it says: "O Lord, who shall sojourn in thy tent?" And the answer is
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	557 given: "He who walks blamelessly." Therefore, it is like he was saying: <b>If I
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	558 do not wash you</b>, you will not be clean; and if you are not clean, <b>you

25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	561 <p>But if we refer this statement to
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	562 the action itself, then it can be asked if this washing was necessary for
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	563 salvation. We can say to this that just as some things are forbidden because
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	564 they are evil, and some things are evil because they are forbidden, so some
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	565 things are commanded because they are necessary, and some things are necessary
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	566 because they are commanded. And so this washing, about which our Lord said, <b>If
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	567 I do not wash you, you have no part in me</b>, if considered in itself, was not
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	568 necessary for salvation. But on the supposition that it was commanded by
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	569 Christ, then it was necessary: "To obey is better than sacrifice," and so
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	570 "stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry" (1 Sam 15:22-23).
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	571
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	572 <p>1760 Then the Evangelist shows the action was appropriate.
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	573 First, the words of Peter are given; and then Christ's answer.
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	574
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	575 <p>1761 Peter's words indicate his intense love for Christ.
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	576 Before, when our Lord said to him, <b>What I am doing you do not know now</b>,
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	577 he had intimated that it would be useful; yet Peter paid no attention to this,
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	578 and could not be persuaded to have his feet washed. But when our Lord warned
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	579 him it would mean they would no longer be together, saying,<b> you have no part
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	580 in me</b>, Peter offered more than just his feet, saying, <b>Lord, not my feet
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	581 only, but also my hands and my head! </b>For Peter was frightened by this
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	582 answer, and affected by love and fear, he offered all of himself for washing.
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	583 Clement tells us in his <i>Itinerary</i> that Peter was so touched by the
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	584 physical presence of Christ, whom he had loved so intensely, that after the
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	585 ascension, when he recalled the sweetness of Christ's presence, and his holy

25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	589 <p>1762 We may note that there are three things in a person:
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	590 the head at the top, the feet at the bottom, and the hands in the middle. The
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	591 same is true for the inner person, that is, for the soul. There is the head,
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	592 which is the higher reason, by which the soul adheres to God. "The head of a
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	593 woman is her husband" (1 Cor 4:4), that is, the higher reason. The hands are
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	594 the lower reason, which is concerned with the works of the active life. Finally,
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	595 the feet are the sensuality. Now our Lord knew that his disciples were clean
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	596 as to their head, because they had been united to God by faith and charity; and
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	597 their hands were clean because their works were holy. But as to their feet,
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	598 they still retained some affection for earthly things in their sensuality. And
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	599 so Peter, anxious because of our Lord's warning, agrees not only to have his
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	600 feet washed, but also his hands and head, saying, <b>Lord, not my feet only but
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	601 also my hands and my head</b>. It was like saying: I do not know if my hands
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	602 and feet need washing - "I am not aware of anything against myself, but I am
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	603 not thereby acquitted" (1 Cor 4:4) - and so I am ready to wash <b>not my feet
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	604 only</b>, that is, my lower affections - "I had bathed my feet, how could I
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	605 soil them?" (Song 5:3) - <b>but also my hands</b>, that is, my works - "I will
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	606 wash my hands among the innocent" [26:6] - <b>and my head</b>, that is, my
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	607 higher reason - "Wash your face" (Mt 6:17).
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	608
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	609 <p>1763 Then (v 10), the Evangelist gives our Lord's answer.
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	610 First, our Lord states a general principle; secondly, he applies it to this
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	611 situation; and thirdly, the Evangelist explains these words of Christ.
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	612
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	613 <p>1764 He says at first, <b>he who has bathed does not need to
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	614 wash, except for his feet, but he is clean all over</b>, except for his feet,
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	615 which touch the earth. We understand from this that the apostles had already
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	616 been baptized. For he says, <b>he who has bathed</b>, and then adds, <b>and you
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	617 are clean</b>, that is, because they had been baptized.
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	618
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	619 <p>1765 Some say they had been baptized only with the baptism
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	620 of John. But this does not seem to be true, because then they would not have
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	621 bathed, because the baptism of John did not cleanse within from guilt. And so
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	622 it should be said, according to Augustine, that they had been baptized with the
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	623 baptism of Christ.<a href="#_ftn13" name="_ftnref13">[13]</a>
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	624 If you object that Christ did not baptize but only his disciples, as was stated
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	625 above (4:2), I say that he did not baptize the crowds, but only his disciples
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	626 and those he knew well.
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	627
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	628 <p>But since baptism cleanses even the
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	629 stains from the feet, it seems that one who has bathed, that is, is baptized,
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	630 does not need to wash his feet. I answer that if they had left this world
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	631 immediately after their baptism, they would have had no need for this washing,
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	632 for since they would be entirely clean, they would go to God at once. But those
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	633 who live in this world after their baptism cannot reach such perfection that
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	634 disordered movement of the sensuality in regard to earthly affections never
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	635 arise. And so it is necessary that they wash their feet either by martyrdom,
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	636 which is a baptism of blood, or by repentance, which is a baptism of fire, so
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	637 that they can return to God.
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	638
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	639 <p>1766 Then when he says, <b>you are clean, but not all of you</b>,
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	640 our Lord applies this general principle to the situation. But if they were
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	641 clean, why did our Lord wash them again? Augustine says their hands and heads

25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	658 because he knew the uncleanness of Judas the betrayer. In general, there are
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	659 two things which cleans a person: alms and compassion for the poor - "Give alms

25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	684 necessary, he then urges that it be imitated. First, the Evangelist describes
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	685 the circumstances of this exhortation; secondly, he mentions the exhortation
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	686 itself (v 12b). Concerning the first he does two things: first, he mentions the
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	687 sequence in this exhortation; secondly, he describes the one giving the
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	688 exhortation (v 12a).
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	689
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	690 <p>1769 The sequence found in this exhortation is that Christ
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	691 later taught in words what he had first done by his actions. In regard to this
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	692 he says, <b>When he had washed their feet</b>: "Jesus began to do and teach"
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	693 (Acts 1:1): "He who does them and teaches them shall be called great in the

25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	696 <p>1770 He describes the one giving the exhortation by his
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	697 clothing and posture. As to his clothing, different clothing is suitable to
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	698 different people depending on the different activities appropriate to each: "A
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	699 man's attire…shows what he is" (Sir 19:30). One sort of attire is suitable for
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	700 a servant, and another for a teacher. Now because a servant must be ready to
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	701 serve, he does not have any superfluous clothing; and so Christ, when he wished
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	702 to serve, "rose from supper, laid aside his garments." And a teacher, who
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	703 should be serious and of great authority, ought also to be suitably dressed.
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	704 Thus our Lord, when beginning to teach, had <b>taken his garments</b>.
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	705
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	706 <p>As to his posture: when Christ
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	707 began to serve he rose; he says that Christ "rose from supper." But now, about
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	708 to teach, he reclines; he says, <b>he resumed his place again, he said to them</b>.
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	709 The reason for this is that teaching should be done in an atmosphere or
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	710 serenity, and it is by sitting and being quiet that the soul becomes wise and
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	711 discerning.
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	712
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	713 <p>1771 Three events here are able to indicate mysteries. When
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	714 Christ sends the Holy Spirit to his disciples he will be giving them complete
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	715 teaching: "But the Counselor, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	716 name, he will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all that I
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	717 have said to you" (14:26). But three things are to take place before the Spirit
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	718 is sent. First, their sins are to be washed away by his passion: "He washed us
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	719 from our sins in his own blood" [Rev 1:5]. In reference to this he says, <b>when
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	720 he had washed their feet</b>, that is, completely cleansed them by his blood.
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	721 Secondly, there is the resurrection of Christ. Christ had a mortal body before
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	722 his passion, but he was not mortal because he was, as a person, the Son or God;
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	723 his mortality was due to the human nature he assumed. But after he rose from
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	724 the dead by the power of his divinity, he took on bodily immortality. And in
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	725 reference to this he says, he had <b>taken his garments</b>, that is, he arose
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	726 immortal. He says <b>his garments</b> because he did this by his own power:
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	727 "The life he lives he lives to God," that is, by the power of God (Rom 6:10).
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	728 We read of these garments: "He who conquers shall be clad thus in white
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	729 garments, and I will not blot his name out of the book of life" (Rev 3:5).
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	730 Also, before the Spirit is sent, Christ is to be seated [next to the Father]
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	731 after his ascension: "If I do not go away, the Counselor will not come to you"
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	732 (16:7). And referring to this he says, <b>and resumed his place again</b>, that
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	733 is, remaining and sitting at the right hand of the Father: "The Lord Jesus,
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	734 after he had spoken to them, was taken up into the heaven, and sat down at the
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	735 right hand of God" (Mk 16:19). He says, <b>again</b>, not because as the Son of
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	736 God he had ever ceased to sit with the Father, for he is in the bosom of the
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	737 Father from all eternity, but because as man he was raised to the greater goods
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	738 of the Father: "Therefore God has highly exalted him and bestowed on him the
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	739 name which is above every name" (Phil 2:9).

25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	741 <p>And so, before sending into them
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	742 the Holy Spirit, who would perfectly teach them, Christ would wash them with
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	743 the blood he shed; take up his garments by rising; and resume his place by
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	744 ascending in glory.
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	745
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	746 <p>1772 Next (v 12b), he gives his exhortation. First, he asks
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	747 a question; secondly, he accepts their acknowledgement; thirdly, he draws a
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	748 conclusion from this; fourthly, he confirms this conclusion.
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	749
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	750 <p>1773 Christ questions them when he says, <b>Do you know what
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	751 I have done to you? </b>This means: You have seen what I have done, but you do
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	752 not know why I did it. And he asks them in this way in order to show the
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	753 greatness of his action and to prompt them to reflect on it. For we should
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	754 meditate on the works of God because they are profound: "How great are thy
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	755 works, O Lord! Thy thoughts are very deep" (Ps 92:5). We can barely know the
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	756 works of God: "Then I saw all the works of God, that man cannot find out the
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	757 work that is done under the sun" (Eccl 8:17). Yet it is still a delight to
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	758 think about them: "For thou O Lord, hast made me glad by thy work; at the work
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	759 of thy hands I sing for joy" (Ps 92:4). Further, these works are helpful,
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	760 because they lead us to a knowledge of their author: "For from the greatness
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	761 and beauty of created things comes a corresponding perception of their Creator"
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	762 (Wis 13:5); "These very works which I am doing, bear me witness" (5:36).

25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	764 <p>According to Origen, this statement
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	765 can be rendered as, <b>Know what I have done to you</b>.<a href="#_ftn18"

25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	767 In this way, it has an imperative sense, as if Christ were saying: You ought to
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	768 understand what I have done to you. In this interpretation our Lord said this

25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	782 (4:31). And with good reason. For he is the Lord, who alone creates and

25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	786 <p>1776 When he says, <b>and you are right</b>, he approves
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	787 their acknowledgement. Here we should note that something which is spoken can
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	788 be commendable for two reasons. First, because what is said is in harmony with
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	789 the thing about which it is said; and this happens if what is said is true, for
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	790 if it is false, it does not harmonize with the thing. So it is well said:
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	791 "Therefore, putting away falsehood, let every one speak the truth" (Eph 4:25).
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	792 For lies must be avoided to such an extent that even if it seems that they lead
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	793 to the glory of God, they should not be spoken. In reference to this point he
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	794 says, <b>and you are right</b>; because what you say is true, for it applies to
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	795 me, <b>for so I am</b>, Teacher and Lord. I am the Teacher because of the
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	796 wisdom I teach by my words; I am the Lord because of the power I show in my

25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	798
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	799 <p>Secondly, what is spoken can be commendable
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	800 because it is in harmony with the person speaking. There are some who call
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	801 Christ Teacher and Lord, but it is not in harmony with themselves, for they do
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	802 not defer to the teaching and commands of God; and such people do not speak
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	803 rightly. So to those who say, "Lord, Lord, open to us," the answer is given,
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	804 "Truly, I say to you, I do not know you" (Mt 25:11), because they are not
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	805 speaking from their hearts, but only with their lips. But the apostles spoke
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	806 rightly, because it was in agreement with themselves. And so Christ replied, <b>and
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	807 you are right</b>, that is, you are speaking the truth, <b>for so I am</b>,
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	808 that is, for you I am the Teacher and the Lord, for you listen to me as Teacher
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	809 - "To whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life" (6:6) - and you
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	810 follow me as Lord - "Lo, we have left everything and followed you" (Mt 19:27).

25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	812 <p>1777 This seems to conflict with the statement in Proverbs
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	813 (27:2): "Let another praise you, and not your own mouth." It seems, therefore,
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	814 that it was not right for our Lord to praise himself. Augustine answers this in
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	815 two ways.<a href="#_ftn20" name="_ftnref20">[20]</a>
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	816 First, it is wrong for a person to commend himself because of the danger of
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	817 becoming proud: because if one is inclined to pride, it is dangerous for him to
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	818 be pleased with himself. When there is no danger of pride, self-praise is not
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	819 wrong. This danger was not to be feared in Christ, for if one is above
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	820 everything, then no matter how much he praises himself, he does not commend
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	821 himself too much.
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	822
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	823 <p>Augustine also says that sometimes
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	824 it is good that a person commends himself, as when this is beneficial to

25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	826 The Apostle commended himself this way to the Corinthians (2 Cor 11). Now for
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	827 us to know God is very beneficial and necessary in every way, for our entire
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	828 perfection lies in this. Thus it was a benefit for us that he reveal his
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	829 greatness to us, for how could we know it if it were not shown to us by the one
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	830 who knows. Thus it was necessary that Christ commend himself to us, for as
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	831 Augustine says, if he did not praise himself in order to avoid seeming
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	832 arrogant, he would be depriving us of wisdom: "Wisdom will praise herself" (Sir
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	833 24:1).
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	834
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	835 <p>1778 He draws the conclusion when he says, <b>If I then,

25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	838 more [expected]. For it seems less [expected] that one who is greater humble
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	839 himself than one who is not as great. And with this in mind he concludes, <b>If

25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	846 <p>1779 It seems that the statement, <b>you ought to wash one
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	847 another's feet</b>, is a precept. And one who neglects a precept sins in a
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	848 serious way. Therefore, [it is a serious sin not to wash the feet of others]. I
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	849 reply, according to Augustine, that every one should wash the feet of others,

25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	852 And it is much better, and true beyond argument, that one should do this in a
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	853 physical way, so that a Christian will not consider it beneath him to do what
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	854 Christ did. For when a person stoops down to the feet of his neighbor, humility
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	855 is awakened in his heart, or if already there it is made stronger.
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	856
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	857 <p>If one cannot do this in a physical
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	858 way, it should at least be done in one's heart. When feet are washed, their
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	859 stains are washed away. So we wash the feet of our neighbors in a spiritual way
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	860 when, as far as we can, we wash away their moral stains. This is done in three
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	861 ways. The first way is by forgiving their offenses, as in "And if one has a
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	862 complaint against another, forgiving each other; as the Lord has forgiven you,
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	863 so you also must forgive" (Col 3:13). Another way is by praying because of
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	864 their sins, according to "Pray for one another, that you may be healed" (Jas
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	865 5:16). These two kinds of washing can be done by all the faithful. The third
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	866 way belongs to prelates, who ought to wash by forgiving sins by the power of
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	867 the keys: "Receive the Holy Spirit. If you forgive the sins of any, they are
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	868 forgiven" (20:22).
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	869
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	870 <p>We can also say that by this action
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	871 our Lord pointed out all the works of mercy. For one who gives bread to the
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	872 hungry washes his feet, as does one who practices hospitality, or gives food to
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	873 one in need; and so on for the other works. "Contribute to the needs of the
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	874 saints" (Rom 12:13).

25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	876 <p>1780 He supports his conclusion in four ways: first, by his
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	877 intention; secondly, by his authority (v 16); thirdly, by the reward due this
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	878 action (v 17); and fourthly, by the dignity of those whose feet he washed (v
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	879 20).
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	880
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	881 <p>1781 He said the reason I did this was to give you an
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	882 example; so <b>you also ought to wash one another's feet</b>, because that was
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	883 what I intended by this action. For when we are dealing with the conduct of
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	884 people, example has more influence than words. A person chooses and does what
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	885 seems good to him, and so what one chooses is a better indication of what is
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	886 good than what one teaches should be chosen. This is why when someone says one
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	887 thing and does another, what he does has more influence on others than what he
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	888 has taught. Thus it is especially necessary to give example by one's actions.
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	889
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	890 <p>Now the example of a mere human
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	891 being would not be adequate for the entire human race to imitate, both because
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	892 human reason cannot take everything into account, and it does err in what it
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	893 does take into account. And so there was given to us the example of the Son of
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	894 God, which cannot be in error and is adequate for all situations. Thus
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	895 Augustine says: "Pride is not healed if it is not healed by the divine

25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	902 just as he was the model or pattern for every thing created, so he was the
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	903 model for our justification: "Christ also suffered for you, leaving you an

25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	925 <p>1783 This seems to contradict what our Lord said to his
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	926 disciples below (15:15): "No longer do I call you servants, for the servant
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	927 does not know what his master is doing." I answer that there are two ways of
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	928 being a servant. One way is based on reverence and respect, "filial fear," and
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	929 this produces a good servant: "Well done, good and faithful servant" (Mt
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	930 25:23). This is the kind of servant our Lord is talking about here in John
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	931 (13:16). The other way of being a servant is based on the fear of punishment,
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	932 "servile fear." This kind of servant is mentioned in "You wicked servant! I

25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	934 of servant our Lord refers to when he says: "No longer do I call you servants"

25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	945 because we read: "Blessed are those who hear the word of God and keep it" (Lk

25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	960 9:24). For there is one of you, that is, Judas, who will not be blessed, and he
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	961 will not do these things.

25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	963 <p>According to Origen, our Lord did
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	964 not say <b>blessed are you</b>, without qualification; but he added a
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	965 condition, <b>if you do them</b>.<a href="#_ftn24" name="_ftnref24">[24]</a>
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	966 And this is true for all of them, even Judas; for if Judas had done these
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	967 things, he would have been blessed. So for Origen, Jesus is excluding Judas
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	968 from his servants, "a servant is not greater than his master" (v 16). It was
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	969 like saying: I say you are servants and apostles, <b>but I am not speaking of
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	970 you all</b>: for Judas, since he was a servant of sin, was not a servant of the
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	971 Divine Word, nor was he an apostle once the devil had entered into his heart.
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	972
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	973 <p>1788 Someone could say: Since Christ does not say that all
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	974 are blessed or his apostles, then some member of his group might perish
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	975 unexpectedly. Our Lord answers this saying, <b>I know whom I have chosen</b>.
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	976 This was like saying: Those who have been chosen will not perish; but not all
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	977 have been chosen. So, the one who will perish will be the one who has not been
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	978 chosen, that is, Judas: "You did not choose me, but I chose you" (15:16).

25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	980 <p>1789 This seems to conflict with his earlier statement: "Did
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	981 I not choose you, the twelve?" (6:71). Therefore, since Judas was one of the
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	982 twelve, it seems that he was chosen. I answer that one can be chosen in two
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	983 ways. One is for a present righteousness; and Judas was chosen for this. The
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	984 other is for final glory; and Judas was not chosen for this.

25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	986 <p>1790 The reason there was an exception was so <b>that the scripture
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	987 may be fulfilled </b>- not that scripture forced the event, but it did mention
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	988 an event that would happen: "Everything written about me in the law of Moses
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	989 and the prophets and the psalms must be fulfilled" (Lk 24:44); "Not an iota,

25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	991 scripture says: <b>He who ate my bread has lifted his heel against me</b>. This
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	992 is another translation of what we have in the Psalm [41:9] as: "The man of my
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	993 peace, in whom I trusted, who ate my bread, has greatly deceived me." The
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	994 intimacy Judas had with Christ is shown when we read, <b>he who ate my bread</b>:
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	995 for Judas, along with the other disciples, ate bread with Christ, even
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	996 consecrated bread. Further, his malicious efforts against Christ are shown when
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	997 it says, <b>has lifted his heel against me</b>; that is, he will try to crush
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	998 me. And we do crush our enemies under our heel: "She shall crush your head, and
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	999 you will lie in wait for her heel" [Gen 3:15]. And so one is said to raise his
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1000 heel against another when he tries to crush him. But Judas will not be able to

25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1044 how a service given to Christ rebounds to the Father, saying, <b>he who receives

25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1051 receives those sent by me also receives the Father. The second way keeps the
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1052 parts distinct, and then the meaning is: he who receives, that is, in a

25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1054 coming into their souls in a spiritual way - as in "that Christ may dwell in

25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1060 support his own error: the Lord says that he who receives him receives the
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1061 Father; and so the relationship between the Father who sends and the Son is the

25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1066 <p>We should answer this, according to
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1067 Augustine, by saying that there were two natures in Christ, a human and a

25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1069 In the first part he is speaking with reference to his human nature, saying, <b>he

25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1097 were not yet ready to follow him; a failure which Christ predicted. First, we

25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1113 should note that to be troubled is to be disturbed. This is shown by an event
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1114 mentioned before: "From time to time an angel of the Lord used to come down
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1115 into the pool and the water was disturbed…the sick man said, 'Sir, I have no
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1116 one to plunge me into the pool once the water is troubled'" (5:4). Here it is
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1117 the same thing for water to be disturbed or troubled. We also say the sea is
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1118 troubled when it is disturbed. And so to say that a soul is troubled is to say
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1119 that it is disturbed. Now there are some acts of the soul which do not involve
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1120 a disturbance in the body; these are the actions of its intellectual powers.
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1121 But the acts of the sensory appetite do involve a disturbance in the body;
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1122 these are the actions of its intellectual powers. But the acts of the sensory
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1123 appetite do involve some bodily disturbance; and so the affections of the
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1124 sensory appetite are called passions. Now among all the affections or passions
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1125 of the sensory appetite, sadness involves the most disturbance. While pleasure,
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1126 since it implies a rest in a good which is possessed, has more the character of
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1127 rest than of disturbance. Even fear, since it is concerned with an evil to come
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1128 in the future, has less disturbance than sadness, which involves an evil which
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1129 is present. This is why one who is afflicted with sadness is especially said to
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1130 be troubled. So Christ was troubled, that is, he was sad.
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1131
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1132 <p>1797 We can recall here that there have been philosophers,
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1133 the Stoics, who said that those who are wise are not troubled this way or by
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1134 such passions. For although they admit that one who is wise may have fear, or
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1135 joy or desire, such a one is never sad. It is clear that this is false because
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1136 Jesus, who is the highest wisdom, was troubled.
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1137
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1138 <p>Note that one can be troubled in
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1139 two ways. Sometimes it comes from the flesh, which means that one is troubled
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1140 because of some apprehension by the senses, but independently of the judgment
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1141 of reason. Yet sometimes this can remain within the limits of reason and not
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1142 cloud one's reason; in this case, Jerome would call it a <i>propassion</i>.<a

25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1144 This can happen in one who is wise. At other times, this can go beyond the
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1145 limits of reason and trouble reason. This is not found in the wise.

25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1147 <p>The second way of being troubled is
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1148 to have it come from one's reason, that is, when one is troubled in the sensory
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1149 appetite because of a judgment of reason and from deliberation. This was the
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1150 way Christ was troubled. And so the Evangelist is careful to say that<b> he was
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1151 troubled in spirit</b>, that is, the sensory appetite of Christ was troubled
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1152 because of a judgment of his reason. Thus he said above (11:33) that Jesus
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1153 "troubled himself." For in Christ all things arose from the deliberation of
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1154 reason, even in his sensory appetite; and so there were in him no sudden
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1155 disturbances of his sensuality.
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1156
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1157 <p>1798 Jesus willed to be troubled at this time for two
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1158 reasons. First, in order to instruct us in the faith. For suffering and death,
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1159 which human nature naturally shuns, were drawing near to him; and when he
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1160 realized this, he became sad because they were harmful and evil for him. And so
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1161 he willed, by a judgment of reason, to be troubled even in his soul, to show us
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1162 that he had a real human nature. This excludes the error of Apollinaris who
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1163 said that Christ did not have a soul, but the Word took its place.
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1164
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1165 <p>Secondly, he did this to aid our
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1166 own progress. According to Augustine, he saw that the traitor was about to

25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1195 First, the occasions for this are mentioned; secondly, the traitor is
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1196 identified (v 26); thirdly, we see the effect of his identification (v 27).
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1197 There were two occasions for his identification: one was the uncertainty of the
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1198 disciples, and the other was a question asked by one of the disciples. First,
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1199 John mentions their uncertainty; and then the disciple's question.
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1200
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1201 <p>1801 With regard to the first, note that the good disciples
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1202 had very great love for Christ and their faith was very strong. Because of
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1203 their love each one assumed that he would not be the one to deny Christ; yet
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1204 because their faith was so strong they were most certain that what Christ said
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1205 could not be false. And so, although none of them was conscious of any evil,
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1206 they nevertheless thought the prediction of Christ was truer and more
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1207 believable than their own opinion. Accordingly, considering that they were
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1208 human and that their affections could change so much that they could will the
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1209 opposite of what they willed before, they were more uncertain of themselves
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1210 than of the truth spoken by Christ. So, <b>the disciples looked at one another,
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1211 uncertain of whom he spoke</b>: "Therefore let any one who thinks that he
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1212 stands take heed lest he fall" (1 Cor 10:12); "If I wash myself with snow, and
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1213 cleanse my hands with lye, yet thou will plunge me into a pit" (Job 9:30).

25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1215 <p>1802 Next (v 23), the disciple's question is stated. First
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1216 we see the intimacy he had with Christ; secondly, what led him to ask (v 24);
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1217 thirdly, his question (v 25).
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1218
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1219 <p>1803 The disciple's intimacy with Christ is shown by the
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1220 fact that he was lying close to him. He says, <b>one of the disciples was lying
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1221 close to the lap of Jesus</b>. This was John the Evangelist who wrote his
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1222 Gospel. He wrote of himself in the third person to avoid boasting. In this he
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1223 followed the custom of others who wrote Sacred Scripture. Moses wrote of
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1224 himself this way, as though he were someone else: "and the Lord said to Moses"
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1225 (Lev 11:1). And so did Matthew: "He saw a man called Matthew sitting at the tax
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1226 office" as we see from Matthew (Mt 9:9). And further on Paul did the same: "I
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1227 know a man in Christ who fourteen years ago was caught up to the third heaven"
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1228 (2 Cor 12:2).
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1229
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1230 <p>1804 John here mentions three things about himself. First,
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1231 the love he had for Christ as he rested on him. John said that he <b>was lying</b>,
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1232 that is resting: "Then you will delight yourself in the Almighty, and lift up
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1233 your face to God" (Job 22:26); "He leads me beside the waters of rest" (Ps
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1234 23:2). Secondly, he intimates his knowledge of mysteries, which were made known
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1235 to him by Christ, and especially for the writing of this Gospel. He says he was
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1236 lying <b>close to the lap of Jesus</b>, for the lap signifies things that are
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1237 hidden: "The only Son, who is in the lap of the Father, he has made him known"
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1238 [1:18]. Thirdly, he mentions the special love Christ had for him, saying, <b>whom
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1239 Jesus loved</b>, not exclusively, but in a way above others. Exactly how Christ
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1240 loved him more than others will be stated more clearly at the end of this book.
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1241
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1242
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1243 <p>For the present, it is enough to
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1244 say that John was more loved by Christ for three reasons. First, because of the
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1245 cleanliness of his purity: for he was a virgin when chosen by the Lord, and
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1246 always remained so: "He who loves purity of heart, and whose speech is
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1247 gracious, will have the king as his friend" (Prv 22:11). Secondly, because of
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1248 the depth of his wisdom, for he saw further into the secrets of God than
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1249 others; and so he is compared to an eagle, "A wise servant has the king's
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1250 favor" [Prv 14:35]. Thirdly, because of the great intensity of his love for
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1251 Christ: "I love those who love me" (Prv 8:17).
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1252
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1253 <p>1805 Then when he says, <b>so Simon Peter beckoned to him</b>,
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1254 John mentions what led him to question Christ. But since to beckon is to
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1255 suggest something without speaking any words, why does he say that Peter both <b>beckoned…and
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1256 said? </b>I answer that the [Latin] word beckon can also mean just to think
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1257 something within ourselves, as "The fool says in his heart…" (Ps 53:1). And,
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1258 even more so, we can say that someone said something when he indicates by some
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1259 external sign or gesture what he has conceived in his heart. This is the
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1260 meaning of his saying that Peter <b>beckoned…and said</b>, that is, thinking of
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1261 something within himself, he indicated it by some kind of gesture. Or, one
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1262 could say that he first gave some gesture, and then said in words: <b>Who is it
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1263 of whom he speaks? </b>that is, who will betray him.
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1264
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1265 <p>1806 Since everywhere in the Gospels Peter is always
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1266 presented as bold and as the first to speak out because of his fervent love,
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1267 why is he now keeping silent? Chrysostom gives three reasons for this.<a
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1268 href="#_ftn31" name="_ftnref31">[31]</a>
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1269 One is that Peter had just been reprimanded by our Lord for not allowing him to
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1270 wash his feet, and had heard, "If I do not wash you, you have no part in me."
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1271 As a result, he preferred not to bother our Lord just now. Another reason is
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1272 that Peter did not want our Lord to reveal this openly so that others could
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1273 hear it. And so because Peter was a few feet away from Christ and would not be
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1274 the only one to hear his answer, he urged John, who was next to Jesus, to ask
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1275 him.
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1276
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1277 <p>The third reason is mystical. John
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1278 signifies the contemplative life, and Peter the active life. Now Peter is
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1279 instructed by Christ by means of John because the active life learns about
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1280 divine things by means of the contemplative life: "Mary sat at the Lord's feet
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1281 and listened to his teaching. But Martha was distracted with much serving" (Lk
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1282 10:39).
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1283
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1284 <p>1807 Then when he says, <b>So lying thus, close to the
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1285 breast of Jesus, he said to him, Lord, who is it?</b> he mentions the question.
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1286 Note that when Peter was beckoning to John to get him to question our Lord,
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1287 John was leaning near the lap of Jesus. But now when John asks he is near the
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1288 breast of Jesus, for the breast is closer to the mouth than the lap is. And so
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1289 John moved from the lap of Christ to his breast so he could hear his answer
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1290 more quietly and privately.
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1291
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1292 <p>As for the mystical interpretation,
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1293 we can see from this that the more a person wants to grasp the secrets of
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1294 divine wisdom, the more he should try to get closer to Christ, according to:
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1295 "Come to him and be enlightened" [Ps 34:5]. For the secrets of divine wisdom

25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1300 <p>1808 Then when he says, <b>Jesus answered</b>, he identifies
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1301 the betrayer: first by words, then by an action. He identifies by words when he

25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1304 understood to indicate something evil, it signifies the hypocrisy of Judas. For
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1305 just as dipped bread is stained and has changed in appearance so also a
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1306 pretender, for he thinks one thing in his heart while he simulates something
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1307 else with his words. And Judas was like this, for on the outside he pretended
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1308 to love the Teacher, but in his heart he planned to betray him: The wicked
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1309 "speak peace with their neighbors, while mischief is in their hearts" (Ps 28:3).

25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1311 <p>If bread is taken to signify
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1312 something good, then this action stresses the malice of Judas. When bread is
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1313 dipped it tastes better. So Christ gave Judas dipped bread to show that
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1314 although Judas had received many good things from Christ, in spite of these he
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1315 betrayed him: "But it is you, my equal, my companion, my familiar friend. We

25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1318 <p>1809 He identifies the betrayer by an action when he says,<b>
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1319 so when he had dipped the bread, he gave it to Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot</b>.
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1320 Some say that this bread was the consecrated body of Christ. But, according to
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1321 Augustine, this is not so.<a href="#_ftn32" name="_ftnref32">[32]</a>
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1322 For it is clear from the other Evangelists that our Lord gave his body to the
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1323 disciples while he was having supper. Thus it is evident that Judas received
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1324 the body of Christ at the same time as the other disciples, that is, during the
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1325 supper. During the course of this meal Jesus rose and washed the feet of the
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1326 disciples and returned to his place. And it was only after this that he gave the
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1327 bread to Judas. Clearly, this was not the body of Christ.

25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1329 <p>1810 He continues with the effect of this identification,
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1330 saying, <b>then after the morsel, Satan entered into him</b>. Here we might ask
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1331 how Satan enters into a person. I answer that there are two ways of
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1332 understanding Satan's entering into a person. He could enter into a person's
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1333 body, as in the case of those who are physically molested by a devil. In this
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1334 way the devil can essentially enter into a person. Or, we might take it to mean
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1335 that the devil enters into a person's mind, so that the devil would essentially
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1336 penetrate the mind. However, no one but God can enter into a person in this
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1337 way. Now the rational soul does not have quantitative dimensions so that
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1338 something could be in it except what gives it existence, which is there by its
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1339 own power. Now where the power of God is, there also is his essence: for in God
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1340 essence and power are the same. So it is clear that God is in the soul
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1341 essentially. Yet the devil can enter into the human mind in the sense that a
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1342 person who has been seduced by him follows him in doing evil; this is an effect
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1343 of the devil's malice, which someone has loved.<a href="#_ftn33"

25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1346 <p>1811 It was said above: "And during supper, when the devil
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1347 had already put it into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, to betray
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1348 him…". But now he says, <b>Satan entered into him</b>. So there seems to be a
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1349 difference between "put into" and "enter into." I say that this was not said to
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1350 indicate a difference, but to note a growth in evil. The devil is said to put
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1351 something evil into a person's heart when the person yields to him and assents
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1352 to the evil, but with some fear as to whether he ought to do this or not. But
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1353 he enters into a person's heart when one totally gives himself to following his
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1354 suggestions and offers no resistance at all. Thus Satan first put the plan to
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1355 deceive Christ into Judas, and then he entered into to possess him more
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1356 completely and to lead him to accomplish the evil.

25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1358 <p>1812 One might ask why Luke (22:3) says that Satan entered
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1359 into Judas even before he received the morsel. This seems to conflict with what
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1360 John says here, that <b>after the morsel, Satan entered into him</b>. I answer
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1361 that in the first cast Satan entered into him to plan the betrayal, but now he
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1362 entered into him to accomplish and complete it.
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1363
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1364 <p>1813 Was it wrong to give Judas this morsel, for after that
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1365 Satan would enter into him? I say, no. Judas himself was evil, and used a good
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1366 thing in an evil way. In a similar way, when someone unworthily receives the
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1367 Eucharist, which is good and even the best of things, he receives it in an evil
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1368 way and it turns out to be evil for him, because he "eats and drinks judgment

25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1380 <p>1814 We now see the betrayal itself, after it was predicted.
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1381 First, we see that Judas was allowed to do what was predicted; and secondly,

25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1387 <p>1815 Our Lord's words were: <b>What you are going to do, do

25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1389 or counseled, because "The command of the Lord is pure, enlightening the eyes"
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1390 (Ps 19:8). It is, rather, a permission. As we have seen, the devil had put it

25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1417 have been exceedingly dull not to have understood what he had just said. I
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1418 answer that our Lord said this privately to John in order not to reveal the
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1419 betrayer. The reason for this being that Peter loved Christ so fiercely that

25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1427 becoming a betrayer. Thus he never suspected that another disciple would commit

25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1430 <p>1819 Now the Evangelist tells us what the disciples,
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1431 ignorant of the real reason Jesus was speaking, thought he meant: some of the
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1432 disciples <b>thought that, because Judas had the money box, Jesus was telling

25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1434 things, had a purse, not to own the things of earth, but to save the offerings
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1435 of believers and so provide for his own necessities and the needs of others.
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1436 This purse was in the care of Judas. As Augustine says, this teaches us that
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1437 the Church can have and reserve money for its immediate needs.<a href="#_ftn36"

25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1439 It also teaches us that the Church's money should be used for only two things.
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1440 First, for what pertains to divine worship; for we read, <b>Buy what we need
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1441 for the feast</b>, that is, what we can use to worship God on the festival day:
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1442 "Bring the full tithes into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house"
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1443 (Mal 3:10). Secondly, its money can be used to help the poor, so he adds, or <b>that

25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1446 <p>1820 One might argue against this that Matthew (6:34) says,
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1447 "do not be anxious about tomorrow." Augustine answered this and said that or

25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1450 Rather, he said, "Do not be anxious about tomorrow." This means that we should
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1451 not be preaching or doing other religious services in order to provide a future
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1452 for ourselves; nor should we omit acting in a virtuous way because of fear of
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1453 the future. Thus it is clear that when our Lord said "Do not be anxious about
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1454 tomorrow," he was forbidding two things. First, we are not to do good to secure

25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1476 about. First, he mentions the action which was done; secondly, the time when it
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1477 was done.
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1478
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1479 <p>1823 What was done was done quickly, because <b>after
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1480 receiving the morsel, he immediately went out</b>. Note that, as Origen says,
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1481 the Evangelist does not say that Judas ate the morsel, but that he received it.<a

25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1483 This can be understood in two ways. First, it could be that Judas was so troubled
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1484 about obeying the Teacher that when he received the morsel, he did not eat it,
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1485 but perhaps left it on the table and without delay went out to complete his
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1486 betrayal. The reason for this could be that the devil did not allow Judas to
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1487 eat the bread. For the devil, who had already entered into the heart of Judas,
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1488 feared that if Judas ate the bread, the devil would have to leave, since he
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1489 could not be in the same place as Jesus: "What accord has Christ with Belial?"
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1490 (2 Cor 6:15); "You cannot drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons" (1
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1491 Cor 10:21).
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1492
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1493 <p>Taken the other way, we could think
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1494 that Judas ate the bread he received. Then the meaning is, <b>after receiving
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1495 the morsel</b>, not only in his hand, but even eating it, <b>he immediately
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1496 went out</b>. He thus made use of a good thing in a bad way. This is exactly
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1497 what someone does who unworthily eats the bread of the Lord, or drinks from his
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1498 chalice: he eats and drinks to his own damage and adds to his sin. So the bread
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1499 Jesus gave to Judas became a source of harm: for after the bread entered into
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1500 him so did Satan.

25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1503 night</b>. He mentions this for two reasons. First, to emphasize the malice of
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1504 Judas. It had grown in his heart to such a degree that even the inconvenience
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1505 of the hour did not cause him to wait till the morning: "The murderer rises in

25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1508 <p>In the second place, he wants to
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1509 show his state of mind. <b>It was night</b>, because the mind of Judas the
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1510 traitor was dark, without divine light. "If any one walks in the day, he does

25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1538 four ways, by referring it to the four kinds of glory which Christ had: the

25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1543 <p>1827 First, then, Christ was glorified by being lifted up on
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1544 the cross. Even Paul said that his own glory was in the cross: "But far be it

25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1546 is the glory Chrysostom has in mind in his explanation of the text.<a

25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1548 In this explanation our Lord mentions four things about the glory of the cross:

25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1557 is the Son of man glorified</b>, that is, the passion by which he will be
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1558 glorified is now beginning. Indeed, Christ was glorified by the passion of the
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1559 cross because by it he conquered the enemies of death and the devil: "that
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1560 through death he might destroy him who has the power of death" (Heb 2:14).
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1561 Again, he acquired glory because by his cross he joined heaven and earth: "to
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1562 reconcile to himself all things, whether on earth or in heaven, making peace by
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1563 the blood of his cross" (Col 1:20). Further, he was glorified by his cross
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1564 because by it he acquired all kingship. One version of Psalm 95 (v 9) says:
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1565 "Say to the nations that the Lord has reigned from his cross." Again, Christ
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1566 was glorified by the cross because he accomplished many miracles on it: the
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1567 curtain of the temple was split, an earthquake occurred, rocks were split and
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1568 the sun was darkened, and many saints arose, as Matthew (27:51) states. So with
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1569 his passion drawing near, these are the reasons why our Lord said, <b>now is
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1570 the Son of man glorified</b>. It is like saying: now my passion is beginning,
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1571 the passion which is my glory.
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1572
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1573 <p>The fruit of this glory is that God
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1574 is glorified by it. So he says, <b>and in him God is glorified</b>, that is, in
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1575 the glorified Son of man. For the glory of the passion leads to the glory of
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1576 God. If God was glorified by the death of Peter - "This he said to show by what

25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1598 In reference to this, he does four things here: first, he mentions the glory of
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1599 the judicial power of Christ; secondly, he shows the merit from which he
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1600 acquired it; thirdly, he expounds on this; fourthly, he shows the source of
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1601 Christ's glory. As to the first, he says, <b>Now is the Son of man glorified</b>.
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1602 We should note that in Sacred Scripture, one thing is not explicitly said to
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1603 signify another, and the word for the signifying thing is also used for the
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1604 thing signified. For example, we do not read that "The rock signified Christ";
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1605 rather, it says, "And the Rock was Christ" (1 Cor 10:4). In the departure of
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1606 Judas away from the apostles we have a kind of image of the future judgment,
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1607 when the wicked will be separated from the good, and Christ will put the sheep
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1608 on his right and the goats on his left (Mt 25:33). Since this departure of
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1609 Judas signified the future judgment, right after this our Lord began to speak
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1610 of the glory of his judicial power, saying, <b>Now is the Son of man glorified</b>;
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1611 that is, this departure or separation represents the glory which the Son of man
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1612 will have in the judgment, where none of the good will perish and none of the
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1613 evil will be with them. He does not say: "Now is the glorification of the Son
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1614 of man signified," but rather, <b>Now is the Son of man glorified</b>, in
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1615 keeping with the above-mentioned custom of Scripture.
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1616
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1617 <p>Now the merit of this glorification
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1618 is that God would be glorified in him. For God is glorified by those who seek
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1619 to do his will, and not their own. Christ was like this: "For I have come down
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1620 from heaven not to do my own will, but the will of him who sent me" (6:38). And
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1621 this is why <b>in him God is glorified</b>. He amplifies on this when he says, <b>if
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1622 God is glorified in him</b>, that is, if, by doing the will of God, he
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1623 glorifies God, then rightly <b>God will also glorify him in himself</b>, so
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1624 that the human nature assumed by the eternal Word will be given an eternal
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1625 glory. Thus, <b>in himself</b>, that is, in his own glory: "Therefore God has
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1626 highly exalted him and bestowed on him the name which is above every name"
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1627 (Phil 2:9). Therefore the glorification by which God is glorified in Christ is
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1628 the merit in virtue of which Christ as man is glorified <b>in himself</b>, that
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1629 is, in the glory of God. This will occur when his human nature, its weakness
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1630 having been laid down by the death of the cross, receives the glory of
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1631 immortality at the resurrection. So the resurrection itself was the source from
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1632 which this glory began. Accordingly he says, <b>and will glorify him at once</b>,
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1633 at the resurrection, which will quickly come: "I will arise in the morning
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1634 early" [Ps 108:2]: and also, "You will not let your Holy One see corruption"

25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1637 <p>1829 The third glory of Christ is the glory of his
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1638 resurrection, about which we read, "We were buried therefore with him by

25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1641 this glory that Hilary explains this passage, and Augustine also in part.<a

25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1644 <p>From this aspect, Christ first
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1645 foretells this glory of his, saying, <b>Now is the Son of man glorified</b>.
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1646 Here he is speaking of the future as if it has already happened, because what
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1647 we think will quickly happen we regard as good as done. Now the glory of the
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1648 resurrection was very near, and so he says, <b>Now is the Son of man glorified</b>,
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1649 as if his body, by its union with the divine nature, had in a way acquired the
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1650 glory of the divinity.
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1651
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1652 <p>Secondly, he mentions the cause of
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1653 this glory quite subtly. As he said, in the resurrection the humanity of Christ
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1654 was glorified because of its union with the divine nature; and there was one
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1655 person, that of the Word. For we read: "You will not leave my soul in Sheol;
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1656 you will not let your holy one," who is the holiest of all, "see corruption"
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1657 [Ps 16:10]. Such glory is also due to this human being, Christ, in so far as he
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1658 is God. We too will have the glory of the resurrection to the extent that we
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1659 share in the divinity: "He who raised Jesus Christ from the dead will give life
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1660 to your mortal bodies also through his Spirit which dwells in you" (Rom 8:11).
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1661 So he says that <b>the Son of man</b>, that is, Christ considered in his human
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1662 nature, <b>is glorified</b>, by his resurrection. And who will glorify him? He
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1663 says, <b>God will also glorify him in himself</b>, so that this human being,
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1664 Christ, who reigns in the glory which is from the glory of God, may himself
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1665 pass into the glory of God, that is, might entirely abide in God, as though
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1666 deified by the way his human nature is possessed. It is like saying: A lamp is
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1667 bright because a fire is burning brightly within it. That which sends the rays
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1668 of brightness into the human nature of Christ is God; and thus the human nature
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1669 of Christ is glorified by the glory of his divinity, and the human nature of
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1670 Christ is brought into the glory of his divinity, not by having its nature
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1671 changed, but by a sharing of glory in so far as this human being, Christ, is
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1672 adored as God: "Therefore God has highly exalted him and bestowed on him the
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1673 name which is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1674 bow" (Phil 2:9). So he says, <b>if God is glorified in him</b>, that is, if it
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1675 is true that the glory of his divinity overflows to the glory of his humanity,
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1676 subsequently <b>God will also glorify him in himself</b>, give him a share of
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1677 his own glory by assuming him into that glory: "Every tongue should confess
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1678 that the Lord Jesus is in the glory of the Father" [Phil 2:11].

25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1680 <p>Thus, Christ has a twofold glory.
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1681 One is in his human nature, but is derived from his divinity. The other is the

25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1683 each glory is different. The first-mentioned glory had a beginning in time. For
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1684 this reason he speaks of it as past, saying, <b>and in him God is</b>, or has
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1685 been, <b>glorified</b>, on the day of the resurrection. The other glory is
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1686 eternal, because from eternity the Word of God is God. And the human nature of
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1687 Christ, assumed into this glory, will be glorified forever. And so he speaks of
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1688 this as in the future: <b>and will glorify him at once</b>, that is, he will

25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1691 <p>1830 The fourth glory of Christ is the glory of being known
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1692 by the faith of the people. Origen has this kind of glory in mind in his
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1693 exposition.<a href="#_ftn46" name="_ftnref46">[46]</a>
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1694 According to him, glory means one thing in ordinary speech, and another thing
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1695 in Scripture. In ordinary speech, glory is the praise given by a number of
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1696 people, or the clear knowledge of someone accompanied by praise, as Ambrose
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1697 says.<a href="#_ftn47" name="_ftnref47">[47]</a>
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1698 While in Scripture, glory indicates that a divine sign or mark is upon one. We
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1699 read in Exodus [40:34] that "The glory of the Lord appeared over the
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1700 tabernacle," that is, a divine sign rested over it. The same happened to the
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1701 face of Moses, when it was glorified. Just as glory, in the physical sense,
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1702 indicates that a divine sign rests upon one, so, in the spiritual sense, that
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1703 intellect is said to be glorified when it is so deified and so transcends all
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1704 material things that it is raised to a knowledge of God. It is by this that we
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1705 are made sharers of glory: "And we all, with unveiled face, beholding the glory
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1706 of the Lord, are being changed into his likeness from one degree of glory to
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1707 another" (2 Cor 3:18). Therefore, if anyone who knows God is glorified and made
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1708 a sharer of glory, it is clear that Christ, who knows God most perfectly, since
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1709 he is the brightness of the entire divine glory (Heb 1:30), and able to receive
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1710 the splendor of the entire divine glory, if, I say, this is so, then Christ is
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1711 most perfectly glorified. And all who know God owe this to Christ.
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1712
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1713 <p>But men did not yet realize that
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1714 Christ was so glorified by this most perfect knowledge and participation in the
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1715 divinity. And so, although he was glorified in himself, he was not yet glorified
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1716 in the knowledge of men. He began to have his glory at his passion and
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1717 resurrection, when men began to recognize his power and divinity. Our Lord,
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1718 speaking here of this glory, says, <b>Now is the Son of man glorified</b>, that
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1719 is, now, in his human nature, he is receiving glory in the knowledge of men
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1720 because of his approaching passion. <b>And in him God</b>, the Father, <b>is
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1721 glorified</b>. For the Son not only reveals himself, but the Father as well:
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1722 "[Father] I have manifested thy name" (17:6). Consequently, not only is the Son
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1723 glorified, but the Father also: "No one knows the Father except the Son and any
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1724 one to whom the Son chooses to reveal him" (Mt 11:27). He says, <b>in him</b>,
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1725 because one who sees the Son also sees the Father (14:9).
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1726
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1727 <p>It is characteristic of one who is
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1728 greater to return what is greater. And thus he adds, <b>if God is glorified in

25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1750 to his children the more to inflame their love; for it is when friends are about

25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1752 who were in the world, he loved them to the end" (13:1). He says, <b>little

25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1760 <p>1833 We should note that the expression, <b>yet a little
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1761 while</b>, can be explained in three ways, according to the three ways Christ
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1762 is present to his disciples. Christ was present to his disciples in body. But
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1763 his body can be considered in two ways. First, we can view it as having the
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1764 characteristics that belong to human nature, for Christ had a mortal body, just
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1765 as others. So, <b>a little while</b>, is understood as the time between these
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1766 words and his death. So the sense is: <b>yet a little while I am with you</b>,
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1767 that is, a little time remains until I am taken and die, and then I will rise
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1768 and be immortal, even in body: "Christ being raised from the dead will never
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1769 die again; death no longer has dominion over him" (Rom 6:9). So Luke (24:44)
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1770 says: "These are my words which I spoke to you, while I was still with you."
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1771
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1772 <p>Secondly, he was with them in body,
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1773 but a body that was already glorified. Then, <b>a little while</b>, indicates
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1774 the time that intervened until his ascension: "A little while, and you will see
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1775 me no more; again a little while, and you will see me, because I go to the

25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1777 the earth and the sea and the dry land" (Hag 2:6).

25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1779 <p>Thirdly, it can be explained as
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1780 applying to the spiritual presence of Christ, his presence in his divinity and
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1781 in the sacraments. Then, <b>a little while</b>, is taken to mean the time which
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1782 would intervene until the end of the world. This is a little while in
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1783 comparison with eternity: "Children it is the last hour" (1 Jn 2:18). Then the
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1784 meaning is: <b>yet a little while I am with you</b>, that is, although I will
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1785 leave you in body, I am still spiritually with you for <b>a little while</b>
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1786 which remains before the end of the world: "I am with you always, to the close
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1787 of the age" (Mt 28:20).
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1788
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1789 <p>Yet this explanation is not
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1790 appropriate to the presence of Christ in his divinity, for he will be with them
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1791 not only to the end of the world, but for all eternity. For this reason Origen
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1792 explains it another way.<a href="#_ftn48" name="_ftnref48">[48]</a>
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1793 He says that Christ is always with the perfect, who do not sin in a serious
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1794 way. But he is not always present to the imperfect, because when they sin he
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1795 withdraws from them. Now in a little while the disciples would leave Christ,
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1796 fall away and abandon him: "You will all fall away because of me this night"
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1797 (Mt 26:31). And so Christ spiritually withdrew from them. In reference to this
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1798 he says, <b>yet a little while I am with you</b>, that is, in a little while
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1799 you will leave and abandon me, and then I will not be with you.

25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1801 <p>1834 Next, he mentions their inability to follow him. First,
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1802 he notes their effort, <b>you will seek me</b>, whom you have spiritually
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1803 abandoned by your flight and denials. <b>You will seek me</b>, I say, by your

25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1824 will be glorified now, for as we read, "Now is the Son of man glorified." But

25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1829 him: <b>a new commandment I give to you</b>. First, he mentions the special
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1830 character of this commandment; secondly, he shows why they should live up to it
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1831 (v 35). As to the first he does three things: first, he mentions a feature of
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1832 this commandment, secondly, its meaning; and thirdly, its standard.
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1833
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1834 <p>1836 The feature of this commandment he emphasizes is its
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1835 newness. Thus he says, <b>a new commandment</b>. But did not the Old Testament
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1836 or Law have a commandment about the love of one's neighbor? It did, because
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1837 when Christ was asked by a lawyer which was the greatest commandment, he
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1838 replied: "You shall love the Lord your God," and continued, "You shall love
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1839 your neighbor as yourself" (Mt 22:37). This is found in Leviticus: "You shall
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1840 love your neighbor as yourself" (Lev 19:18).
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1841
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1842 <p>Nevertheless, there are three
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1843 special reasons why this commandment is said to be new. First, because of the
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1844 newness, the renewal, it produces: "You have put off the old nature with its
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1845 practices and have put on the new nature, which is being renewed in knowledge
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1846 after the image of its creator" (Col 3:9). This newness is from charity, the
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1847 charity to which Christ urges us. Secondly, this commandment is said to be new
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1848 because of the cause which produces this renewal; and this is a new spirit.
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1849 There are two spirits: the old and the new. The old spirit is the spirit of
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1850 slavery; the new is the spirit of love. The first produces slaves; the second,
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1851 children by adoption: "For you did not receive the spirit of slavery to fall
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1852 back into fear, but you have received the spirit of sonship" (Rom 8:15); "A new
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1853 heart I will give you, and a new spirit I will put within you" (Ez 36:26). The
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1854 spirit sets us on fire with love because "God's love has been poured into our
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1855 hearts through the Holy Spirit" (Rom 5:5). Thirdly, it is a new commandment
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1856 because of the effect it established, that is, a New Covenant. The difference
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1857 between the New and the Old Covenant is that between love and fear: as we read
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1858 in Jeremiah (31:31): "I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel."
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1859 Under the Old Covenant, this commandment was observed through fear; under the
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1860 New Covenant it is observed through love. So this commandment was in the Old
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1861 Law, not as characteristic of it, but as a preparation for the New Law.
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1862
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1863 <p>1837 The import of the commandment is mutual love; thus he
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1864 says: <b>that you love one another</b>. It is of the very nature of friendship
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1865 that is not imperceptible; otherwise, it would not be friendship, but merely
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1866 good-will. For a true and firm friendship the friends need a mutual love for
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1867 each other; for this duplication makes it true and firm. Our Lord, wanting
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1868 there to be perfect friendship among his faithful and disciples, gave them this
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1869 command of mutual love: "Whoever fears the Lord directs his friendship aright"
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1870 (Sir 6:17).
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1871
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1872 <p>1838 The standard for this mutual love is given when he
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1873 says, <b>as I have loved you</b>. Now Christ loved us three ways: gratuitously,
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1874 effectively and rightly.
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1875
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1876 <p>He loved us gratuitously because he
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1877 began to love us and did not wait for us to begin to love him: "Not that we
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1878 loved God, but because he first loved us" [1 Jn 4:10]. In the same way we
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1879 should first love our neighbors and not wait to be loved by them or for them to
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1880 do us a favor.
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1881
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1882 <p>Christ loved us effectively, which
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1883 is obvious from what he did; for love is proven to exist from what one does.
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1884 The greatest thing a person can do for a friend is to give himself for that
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1885 friend. This is what Christ did: "Christ loved us and gave himself up for us"
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1886 (Eph 5:2). So we read: "Greater love has no man than this, that a man lay down
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1887 his life for his friends" (15:13). We also should be led by this example and
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1888 love one another effectively and fruitfully: "Let us not love in word or in
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1889 speech but in deed and in truth" (1 Jn 3:18).
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1890
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1891 <p>Christ also loved us rightly. Since
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1892 all friendship is based on some kind of sharing (for similarity is a cause of
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1893 love), that friendship is right which is based on a similarity or a sharing in
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1894 some good. Now Christ loved us as similar to himself by the grace of adoption,
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1895 loving us in the light of this similarity in order to draw us to God. "I have
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1896 loved you with an everlasting love; and so taking pity on you, I have drawn
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1897 you" [Jer 31:3]. We also, in the one we love, should love what pertains to God
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1898 and not so much the pleasure or benefits the loved one gives to us. In this
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1899 kind of love for our neighbor, even the love of God is included.
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1900
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1901 <p>1839 Then when he says, <b>By this all men will know that
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1902 you are my disciples</b>, he gives the reason for following this command. Here
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1903 we should note that one who is in the army of a king should wear this emblem.
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1904 The emblem of Christ is the emblem of charity. So anyone who wants to be in the
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1905 army of Christ should be stamped with the emblem of charity. This is what he is
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1906 saying here: <b>By this all men will know that you are my disciples, if you
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1907 have love for one another</b>. I mean a holy love: "I am the mother of
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1908 beautiful love and of fear and of knowledge and of holy hope" [Sir 24:24].

25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1910 <p>Although the apostles received many
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1911 gifts from Christ, such as life, intelligence and good health, as well as
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1912 spiritual goods, such as the ability to perform miracles - "I will give you a

25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1914 Christ, since they can be possessed both by the good and the bad. Rather, the
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1915 special sign of a disciple of Christ is charity and mutual love; "He has put

25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1942 This is why even after Christ had said, "Where I am going you cannot follow,"
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1943 Peter still wanted to follow him. So he asked where he was going, just like we

25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1957 <p>1843 When John says, <b>Peter said to him</b>, he indicates
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1958 Peter's confidence. Peter had understood what our Lord had just said as
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1959 expressing some doubt about the perfection of Peter's love. Love is perfect
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1960 when one exposes oneself to death for a friend: "Greater love has no man than

25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1962 was ready to die for Christ, he declared that he was perfect in love when he
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1963 said, <b>I will lay down my life for you</b>, that is, I am ready to die for
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1964 you. He really meant this, and was not pretending. Still, we do not know the
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1965 strength of our own love until it meets some obstacle to be overcome: "I am not

25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1971 <p>1845 As to the first we should note that after Christ said <b>you
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1972 cannot follow me now</b>, Peter was confident of his own strength and said that
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1973 he could follow Christ and die for him. Our Lord checked him by saying, <b>Will

25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1977 become proud, but stand in awe" (Rom 11:20). A similar thought is found in
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1978 Matthew (26:41): "The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak."

25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1980 <p>Our Lord allowed Peter to be

25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1989 <p>1846 Christ predicts Peter's denial when he says, <b>Truly,

25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1991 times</b>. This causes a problem as it seems to be false: for in [some versions
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1992 of] Mark (14:68) we read that the cock crowed immediately after his first
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1993 denial. Augustine answers this in two ways.<a href="#_ftn50" name="_ftnref50"
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1994 title="">[50]</a>
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1995 In the first way he says that our Lord was expressing Peter's state of mind
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1996 rather than his actions: for such fear had overcome Peter's soul that he was
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1997 ready, by the time the cock crowed, to deny our Lord not only once but three
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1998 times. So the meaning is: you will be ready to deny me three times before the
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	1999 cock crows. He explains it another way by saying the prediction refers to the
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	2000 very beginning of Peter's denial. Something is said to happen before something
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	2001 else even it if only begins to happen. Now our Lord predicted three denials;
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	2002 they began before the first cock-crow, although the entire series was not
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	2003 completed before it. Here the meaning is: your triple denial will begin before
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	2004 the cock crows.

25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	2006 <p>1847 There is also a question about where these words were
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	2007 spoken. Matthew and Mark say that our Lord said this to Peter after they had
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	2008 left the upper room; but Luke and John say he said this in the upper room. It
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	2009 is after the farewell discourses that John has Jesus saying, "Rise, let us go
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	2010 hence" (below 14:31). In answer to this we should say that it is true that our
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	2011 Lord said this in the upper room. Matthew and Mark did not follow the order of
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	2012 history, but of memory.

25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	2014 <p>One could also say, with Augustine,
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	2015 that our Lord said this three times.<a href="#_ftn51" name="_ftnref51">[51]</a>
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	2016 A close inspection of our Lord's words which led to his predicting the denial
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	2017 of Peter shows that three different things were said. In Matthew we read that
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	2018 our Lord said: "You will all fall away because of me this night" (Mt 26:31);
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	2019 and Mark says the same (Mk 14:27). Peter answered: "Though they all fall away
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	2020 because of you, I will never fall away" (Mt 26:33). Then Jesus said: "This very
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	2021 night, before the cock crows, you will deny me three times" (Mt 26:34). In
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	2022 Luke, however, we read that Jesus said: "Satan demanded to have you, that he
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	2023 might sift you like wheat, but I have prayed for you that your faith may not fail"
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	2024 (Lk 22:31). Peter then said, "Lord, I am ready to go with you to prison and to
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	2025 death" (Lk 22:33). Our Lord answered this: "I tell you, Peter, the cock will
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	2026 not crow this day, until you three times deny that you know me" (Lk 22:34). But
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	2027 here, in John, when Peter asked our Lord where he was going, our Lord replied:
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	2028 "the cock will not crow, till you have denied me three times." We can conclude
25a799388159 originals from http://www.josephkenny.joyeurs.com/CDtexts/SSJohn.htm ht parents: diff changeset	2029 from this that our Lord predicted Peter's denial several times.
