[[John-13]] Prev: [[Prophecies in John-12]] | Next: [[Prophecies in John-14]] --- ### Jesus, knowing that his time had come that he would depart from this world to the Father *Type*: prophecy *Summary*: Jesus predicts his imminent departure from the earthly realm to return to God the Father. *Historical context*: Theologians and historians correlate this with the narrative of the crucifixion, resurrection, and the Ascension of Jesus, which is recorded in the Book of Acts (1:9-11) as occurring forty days after the resurrection. *Related to*: ### 'He who eats bread with me has lifted up his heel against me.' *Type*: fulfillment *Summary*: Jesus identifies the betrayal of Judas Iscariot as the fulfillment of a specific scriptural pattern concerning the betrayal of God's chosen one by a close companion. *Historical context*: This quotes [[Ps-41#v9|Psalm 41:9]], traditionally attributed to King David. The betrayal was historically realized when Judas Iscariot led temple guards to arrest Jesus in Gethsemane shortly after this supper. *Related to*: [[Ps-41#v9|Psalm 41:9]] ### Most certainly I tell you that one of you will betray me. *Type*: prophecy *Summary*: Jesus explicitly predicts that one of his twelve disciples will be his betrayer. *Historical context*: This prophecy was fulfilled later that same evening when Judas Iscariot identified Jesus to the authorities with a kiss in the Garden of Gethsemane, as recorded in the Synoptic Gospels and [[John|John 18]]. *Related to*: ### Where I am going, you can't follow now, but you will follow afterwards. *Type*: prophecy *Summary*: Jesus predicts that while Peter cannot follow him into death or the presence of the Father immediately, he will do so at a later time. *Historical context*: Literary and historical analysis (including [[John-21#v18|John 21:18]]-19 and early church records from Clement of Rome and Eusebius) identifies this as a prophecy of Peter's eventual martyrdom. Tradition holds that Peter was crucified in Rome under Emperor Nero. *Related to*: ### Most certainly I tell you, the rooster won't crow until you have denied me three times. *Type*: prophecy *Summary*: Jesus predicts a specific sequence of events: Peter will deny knowing Jesus three times before the next morning's rooster crows. *Historical context*: This specific prediction was fulfilled within hours. [[John-18#v15|John 18:15]]-27 describes Peter's three distinct denials in the high priest's courtyard, followed immediately by the crowing of a rooster. *Related to*: --- #ai_prophecy
