Like part 12; part 13 follows the complete chapter of John 13. This is the famous story of the Last Supper. In this part we see Jesus wash the disciples feet. This lesson is to teach them, and all of us, that we are not to be proud and think we are above even the most menial tasks. If the King of the universe can do the lowliest task, such as washing His disciples feet, then we too should be willing to serve others at whatever cost. This is what is pleasing to the Lord.
Next we see Jesus expose who it is that is going to betray Him. After Judas leaves He gives the disciples a new commandment. He tells them, "A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another: just as I have loved you, you also are to love one another. By this all people will know that you are my disciples. If you love one another." - verses 34-35.
Part 13 ends with Jesus telling Peter, "Truly, Truly I say to you the rooster will not crow, till you have denied me three times."
God bless
