Which servant is greater than his master?
None: "Truly, truly, I say to you, a servant is not
greater than his master" (John 13:16).
How did Jesus teach and lead, and why?
By "example, that
you should do as I have done to you"
(John 13:15).
Who is greater - a (megachurch) pastor or Jesus?
If you are the former, how often do you perform the
lowest, the dirtiest, and the least desired tasks at your church?
What does Jesus mean by, "He who eats bread with Me
has lifted up his heel against Me" (John 13:18)?
He is telling them that someone close to Him will strike out at Him, and
that this will fulfill another prophecy in the "Scripture":
"Even my own familiar friend in whom I trusted, who ate my bread,
has lifted up his heel against me" (Psalm 41:9).
Is He saying this so that they can try to stop the striker?
No, He is revealing this "before it comes"
so that "when it does come to pass" (John 13:19), they will know that He
wasn't caught off guard but is "He" (John 13:19), the
Messiah who knew all things in advance.
How should those who are sent by Jesus be received?
Like Jesus: "he who receives whomever I send receives
Me"
(John 13:20).
How should those who are sent by Jesus behave when
received?
Like Jesus, and serve others, including with Jesus' example-propagating
humility.
Did Jesus wash the feet of Judas Iscariot as well?
