📚 Historical Context

During the Last Supper, Jesus was sharing a meal with his twelve disciples in Jerusalem, just before his crucifixion, in a setting filled with tension as he revealed his betrayer. He had predicted that one of them would betray him, and in John 13:28, Jesus spoke directly to Judas Iscariot in a way that the other disciples at the table did not comprehend, highlighting the secrecy and confusion surrounding the event. This moment underscores the human limitations in understanding divine plans during a pivotal time in biblical history.
