John 13:13 - Bullinger's Companion Bible Notes

Bible Comments

call Me. address Me as. Greek. phoneo, always used of calling with the voice (phone). Compare John 11:28; John 12:17. and compare kaleo, Luke 6:46; Luke 15:19.

Master (Greek. didaskalos) = Teacher. See App-98 and compare Matthew 26:25; Matthew 26:49.

Lord. App-98.

ye say well. Would that Christians today would treat Him with the same respect which He here commends, instead of calling Him by the name of His humiliation, Jesus, by which He was never addressed by disciples, only by demons (Matthew 8:29; Mark 1:24; Mark 5:6; Luke 8:28) and those who only knew Him as. prophet (Mark 10:47; Luke 18:38). The Holy Spirit uses "Jesus" in the Gospel narratives.

John 13:13
