John 13: 21-33, 36-38 - 'What you are going to do, do quickly.'

Catechism of the Catholic Church Paragraphs:

- 782 (in 'The Characteristics of the People of God') - The People of God is marked by characteristics that clearly distinguish it from all other religious, ethnic, political, or cultural groups found in history...Its law is the new commandment to love as Christ loved us. This is the new law of the Holy Spirit (abbreviated).

- 1823 (in 'Charity') - Jesus makes charity the new commandment. By loving his own "to the end," he makes manifest the Father's love which he receives. By loving one another, the disciples imitate the love of Jesus which they themselves receive. Whence Jesus says: "As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you; abide in my love." and again: "This is my commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you."

- 2822 (in 'Thy will be done on earth as it is in Heaven') - Our Father "desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth." He "is forbearing toward you, not wishing that any should perish." His commandment is "that you love one another; even as I have loved you, that you also love one another." This commandment summarizes all the others and expresses his entire will.

- 2842 (in 'as we forgive those who trespass against us') - This "as" is not unique in Jesus' teaching: "You, therefore, must be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect"; "Be merciful, even as your Father is merciful"; "A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another, even as I have loved you, that you also love one another. It is impossible to keep the Lord's commandment by imitating the divine model from outside; there has to be a vital participation, coming from the depths of the heart, in the holiness and the mercy and the love of our God. Only the Spirit by whom we live can make "ours" the same mind that was in Christ Jesus. Then the unity of forgiveness becomes possible and we find ourselves "forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave" us.

0:00.0	Hi everyone. Welcome back to the Logical Bible Study podcast. This is the podcast where we take a look at the gospel reading from the day's Catholic Mass,
0:25.8	and we attempt to provide an academic exegesis of the text.
0:29.9	What was the original author trying to convey to their original audience?
0:32.9	So that's what we're all about doing in this podcast.
0:41.8	Today we're looking at John Chapter 13, verses 21 to 33, and then verses 36 to 38.
0:43.6	So we're in John chapter 13.
0:46.0	Here's the passage for today.
0:53.5	While at supper with his disciples, Jesus was troubled in spirit and declared,
0:57.5	I tell you most solemnly, one of you will betray me.
1:02.0	The disciples looked at one another, wondering which he meant.
1:06.9	The disciple Jesus loved was reclining next to Jesus.
1:10.5	Simon Peter signed to him and said, Ask who it is he means. So, leaning back on Jesus'
1:15.0	breast, he said, who is it, Lord? It is the one, replied Jesus, to whom I give the piece of bread
1:22.3	that I shall dip in the dish. He dipped the piece of bread and gave it to Judas, son of Simon Ascarriot.
1:31.0	After that instant, after Judas had taken the bread, Satan entered him.
1:37.1	Jesus then said, what you are going to do, do quickly.
1:42.6	None of the others at Table understood the reason he said this. Since Judas had
1:47.5	charge of the common fund, some of them thought Jesus was telling him, buy what we need for the
1:52.4	festival, or telling him to give something to the poor. As soon as Judas had taken the piece of
1:58.7	bread, he went out.
2:02.2	Night had fallen.
2:06.2	When he had gone, Jesus said,
