Beloved at the Table Within
John 13:23-26 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read John 13 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
The scene shows the beloved disciple leaning on Jesus as Peter asks about the betrayer, and Jesus names Judas when the sop is dipped. It reveals that love and truth inhabit consciousness, even where betrayal seems to appear.
Neville's Inner Vision
Your Bible scene is not about separate people, but states of consciousness within you. The 'disciple whom Jesus loved' is the I AM, the aware you that rests in Presence. Peter's gesture to inquire is the mind's habit of labeling a state that seems other than love. Jesus' dipping of the sop and giving it to Judas is the inner act of nourishing a thought within your own life—feeding a fear or belief until it becomes part of the same living breath. When you identify with the I AM and permit the so-called betrayer to be included in your circle of love, you dissolve the separation. The beloved state does not condemn Judas; it simply recognizes that every aspect of your consciousness is within the one life. The key is assumption and revision: assume you are already cherished, and revise any memory of betrayal as a figure moving through your inner scene toward unity. Feel it real that all movements of consciousness are guided by love, and that by dwelling as the beloved, you transmute fear into fidelity to Truth.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes and assume, 'I am the beloved, resting beside the Master.' In your imagination, dip a sop and feed it to the Judas within you; feel love expand and any fear dissolve as you rest in the I AM.
