John 13:12

"For he knew him who would betray him; therefore he said, “You are not all clean.”"

Key Reflection

Jesus knew Judas would betray Him, which is why He declared that not all His disciples were clean—emphasizing the need for spiritual purity and vigilance among His followers. This moment underscores both Judas’s inevitable fall and the importance of recognizing one's own imperfections in faith.
