The Lesson In Its Setting
Timer—The entry into Jerusalem
took place on Sunday, April 2, A,D,
30. The discourse that followed took
place on Tuesday, April 4. The en-
tire Who of the washing of the dis-
ciples' feet took place on Thursday
evening, April 6.
Place, ---The triumphal entry was
made as Christ came oyer the Mount
of Olives on the east of Jerusalem.
no washing of the disciples' feet
took place, of course, in the upper
room in Jerusalem.
20 Now there were certain Greeks
among those that went up to worship
at the, bast. These were Gentiles,
chisel% from Hellas, or their descend-
ants living throughout the Mediter-
raaeatk world who had become prose-
lytes of the Jewish faith and, once a
year when possible, came sp to Jeru-
salem, in order to worship there at
the Leant as the Hebrews worshipped.

25. He that loveth his life loseth
it; and he that hateth his life in this
world shall keep it unto life eternal.
The word twice translated "life" in
the first part ot this verse is the word
"psuelie" from which comes our word
'psychology"), a word that includes
all man's mental, sensual being; the
Word translated "life" at the end of
the verse is the word "zoe," a word
referring to the higher life which is
in mon, the spirit. "Sell -love leads
to destruction and death. From begin-
ning to end of his earthly history,
Jesus laid down his life for Men,
29. If any man serve me, let him
follow me; and where 1 am, there
shall also by servant be: if any man
serve me, 11:m will the Father honor.
Christ himself is the great example
of denying one's own life; if we are
to truly serve the Lord, then, in his
sacrificial ideal, we are to follow him,
with the result that whoever serves
the Son, will be honored by the Fa-
ther.
27, Now is my soul troubled; and
what shall I say' Father, save me
from this hour. But for this cause
came I unto this hour. There is no
shrinking from the cross •here, but a
glorious determination to endure it in
the consciousness that, for that hour,
he had cone into the world.
28. Father, glorify thv name. There
came therefore a voice out of heaven,
saying, 1 have both glorified it, and
will glorify it again. "It is the high-
est utterance of faith, love, and hope,
that whatever experience of pain
ordained, the outcome may be all to
the glory of the name of God."
29. The multitude therefore, that
stood by, and heard it, said that it '
thundered; others said, An angel bath
spoked to him. "For tb mass the
voice was mere sound. The appre-
hension of a divine Voice depends up-
on man's capacity for hearing. Others
felt that the utterance was artic date,
though they could not hear the
words."
30. Jesus answered and said, This
voice hath not come tor my sake, but
for your sakes. "The voice came to
test their faith and to str ngthen it;
and, at the same time-, to make clear
the importance of the crisis reveled
by the Gentile request."
31. Now is the. judgment of this
world: now shall the prince of this
world be cast out. "The passion was
the judgment of the world, ...dch.
showed both men's thoughts towards
Christ, and the true position of the
world towards God. Jew and Gentile
are alike included in the sentence."
32. And I. "The position of 'I' is
very emphatic, and Christ, by this
phrase, places himself in opposition
to the 'prince of this world.' The cru-
cified Christ will -rule mens hearts in
place of the devil." It I he lifted up
from the earth. Probably this phrase
has a double meaning, and includes
both the lifting up of Christ from the
earth on the cross, and LIS SIMSrqUellt
going up from the earth into heaven,

21. These therefore came to Philip,
who was of Bethsaida of Galilee. They
carne to Philip "not only because he
had a Greek name, and therefor( pre-
sumably belonged to a family in which
Greek was spoken and Greek connec-
tions cultivated, but because, being of
Bethsaida of Galilee, he might be ex-
pected te understand and speak Greek,
11, intlettsl, he Was not already known
to these strangers in Jerusalem."
Ault asked him, saying, Sir, we would
see Josns. At the birth of Jesus, wise
men came from the East to behold the.
Lord (Matt. 2:1-12); now, at the end
ot our Lord's public ministry, there
came men from the West, speaking
the language identified with learning
and seholarship, asking that they
might see Jesus.
22. Philip cometh and telleth An-
drew: Andrew cometh, and Philip,
and they tell Jesus. "Andrew" is an-
other Greek name. "Andrew solves
his difficulty in the way in which all
difficulties of disciples aro resolved,
retesting them to Jesus himself,"
23. And Jesus answereth them,
saying, The hour is come, that the
Son 02 man should be glorified. Pre-
viously it has been said that "his
hour" had not come (2:4; 7:30; S:20).

untmanysolf. "The words emphatical-
ly prove that the 'moss is i.0 basis of
Christ's sway over all whom he brings
out of Satan's empire and draws 10
that, though crucified, he was not to
abide in death, but was soon to live,
and set up a kingdom, .drawing sub-
jects unto it."
33. But this bo saki, signifying by
what manner of death he should die.
This verse is certainly added by the
author of the Gospel, John the apostle.
(See Phil. 2:8). Christ's insistence
upon his death provoked a reasonable
question on the part of the Jews who
were listenning to him, for they be-
lieved that the Christ who should
come would be the kjng of an eternal
kingdom, and hence, ,of &Our:J.0., be
eternal. (See Dan. 7:13, 14; Psalm
110.) There seemed a contradiction
between an eternal Christ of God, and
a suffering Messiah who must die.
34. A new commandment I give un-
to you, that ye love one another; even
as I have loved you, that ye also lop
One .another. "There is a sense in
which it was not a new command-
ment. 111 the Mosaic economy the
word is %Mind, 'Thou shalt love the
Lord thy d cid With all thine heart, and
with all thy soul, • and with ail thy
mind'; 'and thou shalt love thy neigh-
bor as thyself' (Lev. 19:18; Deut. 30:
6). This word for 'new' means some-
thing that is fresh, as opposed to that
which is effete, 'I am giving you,'
said Jesus, 'a command that is new
in its inspiration.
35. By this all men know that ye
are my disciples, if ye have love one
to another. It is certainly by our be-
lief -in Christ that we•become his dis-
ciples, but it is by Our love for one
another that we become known to
others as the disciples of Christ.
