Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts cited his favorite Bible verse after leading his team to the Super Bowl.

Hurts paraphrased John 13:7 in a post-game news conference Sunday after the Eagles vanquished the San Francisco 49ers in a blowout NFC championship victory.

The quarterback brought up the saying of Christ in response to a question about his early career — in which he’d slipped in the 2020 NFL draft. Hurts at one point admitted that he didn’t believe the Eagles even wanted to draft him.

“My favorite verse — You know, I went through a lot of stuff in college, and it kind of stuck with me,” Hurts explained.

“John 13:7. ‘You may not know now, but later you’ll understand.'”

“Hopefully people understand.”

The Eagles dominated Sunday’s NFC Championship game, blowing out the 49ers 31-7 in a win that places Philadelphia in the Super Bowl for the second time in six years.

Hurts has pointed to the saying of Jesus on social media before — including when he was drafted by the Eagles.

Hurts previously shared the verse as a University of Alabama quarterback.

He later transferred to Oklahoma to finish his college career before entering the NFL draft.

Jesus replied, “You do not realize now what I am doing, but later you will understand”

– John 13:7

Just let God work his magic ?

— Jalen Hurts (@JalenHurts) September 16, 2018

The saying comes from a moment in the Gospel of John in which Christ washed His disciples’ feet — on the same evening as the Last Supper.

Hurts will compete against Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes in Super Bowl LVII on Feb. 12. Mahomes is also a Christian.

I’m so proud to see Jalen and Patrick as the first 2 African American QBs to face each other in the Super Bowl!

We have come a long way. ??

The 2023 Super Bowl is the first in which two black quarterbacks will start for the opposing teams.
