Historical
The historical circumstances are recorded in John 13:1-38. The Lord had just celebrated the Passover (last) with the disciples and had predicted His betrayal and death. Is it too much to assume that the disciples would be troubled? The historical setting leads us to believe that Christ was trying to convey their position in Him and the Father.
