"Now before the feast of the passover, when Jesus knew that his hour was come that he should depart out of this world unto the Father, having loved his own which were in the world, he loved them unto the end."
Both passages refer to the events leading up to Jesus' crucifixion and his interaction with his disciples. The EGW passage specifically mentions the upper room discourse, which is the context of John 13:1.
"Christ, the Light of the world, veiled the dazzling splendor of His divinity and came to live as a man among men, that they might, without being consumed, become acquainted with their Creator. Since sin brought separation between man and his Maker, no man has seen God at any time, except as He is manifested through Christ. MH 419.1"

"No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him."
The EGW passage directly echoes and expands upon the concept presented in John 1:18, that no one has seen God except as revealed through Christ.
"“I and My Father are one,” Christ declared. “No man knoweth the Son, but the Father; neither knoweth any man the Father, save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son will reveal Him.” John 10:30 ; Matthew 11:27 . MH 419.2 Christ came to teach human beings what God desires them to know. In the heavens above, in the earth, in the broad waters of the ocean, we see the handiwork of God. All created things testify to His power, His wisdom, His love. Yet not from the stars or the ocean or the cataract can we learn of the personality of God as it was revealed in Christ. MH 419.3"
