People's New Testament

13:36-38 Simon Peter said. For notes on Peter's Denial, see Mt 26:31-35. Compare Mr 14:29-31 Lu 22:31-34.

Wesley's Notes

13:36 Peter saith, Lord, whither goest thou? - St. Peter seems to have thought, that Christ, being rejected by the Jews, would go to some other part of the earth to erect his throne, where he might reign without disturbance, according to the gross notions he had of Christ's kingdom. Thou canst not follow me now - But Peter would not believe him. And he did follow him, Joh 18:15. But it was afar off. And not without great loss.

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary

36-38. Peter said-seeing plainly in these directions how to behave themselves, that He was indeed going from them.

Lord, whither guest thou?-having hardly a glimmer of the real truth.

Jesus answered, . thou canst not follow me now, but thou shalt follow me afterwards-How different from what He said to the Jews: "Whither I go ye cannot come" (Joh 8:21).

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary

13:36-38 What Christ had said concerning brotherly love, Peter overlooked, but spoke of that about which Christ kept them ignorant. It is common to be more eager to know about secret things, which belong to God only, than about things revealed, which belong to us and our children; to be more desirous to have our curiosity gratified, than our consciences directed; to know what is done in heaven, than what we may do to get thither. How soon discourse as to what is plain and edifying is dropped, while a doubtful dispute runs on into endless strife of words! We are apt to take it amiss to be told we cannot do this and the other, whereas, without Christ we can do nothing. Christ knows us better than we know ourselves, and has many ways of discovering those to themselves, whom he loves, and he will hide pride from them. May we endeavour to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace, to love one another with a pure heart fervently, and to walk humbly with our God.

John 13:33 "Little children, I am with you a little while longer. You will seek Me; and as I said to the Jews, now I also say to you, 'Where I am going, you cannot come.'

John 14:2 "In My Father's house are many dwelling places; if it were not so, I would have told you; for I go to prepare a place for you.

John 16:5 "But now I am going to Him who sent Me; and none of you asks Me, 'Where are You going?'

John 21:18 "Truly, truly, I say to you, when you were younger, you used to gird yourself and walk wherever you wished; but when you grow old, you will stretch out your hands and someone else will gird you, and bring you where you do not wish to go."
