loved them to the end.

and to wipe them with the towel that was
wrapped around him.

Verse 12 s query
Answer: v. 15-16 -example,
v.17-blessedness of obedience

Can love be commanded?

Matthew 22:37

"You shall love the Lord

your God with all your
heart and with all your soul
and with all your mind.

JOHN 13:34
A new commandment I give
to you, that you love one
another: just as I have loved
you, you also are to love one
another.

COMMAND

Why is it new? v.34

If the command in Mt.22:37 uses the
verb agape, Godly love, can it be
done?
Jesus quantified that love,
As I have loved (agapao) you

REASON

As Jesus manifested Gods

love through what he did, so
shall we manifest it by loving
each other
