Bridgeway Bible Commentary - John 13:1-20

140. Washing the disciples’ feet (John 13:1-20)When they gathered for the meal that night, Jesus took the place of a servant and washed the disciples’ feet. By this action he symbolized firstly, the need for humility, and secondly, that he, the perfect servant, would cleanse people from sin through his death (John 13:1-5). Peter, not understanding this symbolic action, objected. Jesus responded that if he refused to let Jesus cleanse him, he could not be Jesus’ disciple. By this cleansing,... read more

call Me = address Me as. Greek. phoneo, always used of calling with the voice (phone). Compare John 11:28 ; John 12:17 ; and compare kaleo, Luke 6:46 ; Luke 15:19 .

Would that Christians today would treat Him with the same respect which He here commends, instead of calling Him by the name of His humiliation, Jesus, by which He was never addressed by disciples, only by... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - John 13:13

Ye call me Teacher, and Lord: and ye say well; for so I am.Lord ... The use of this term by the apostles shows the exalted nature of their concept of Jesus Christ, thus hailing him as the divine ruler of life. The use of "Teacher" along with this title does not diminish the impact of it. read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - John 13:14

If I then, the Lord, and the Teacher, have washed your feet, ye also ought to wash one another's feet.Jesus' reversal of the two titles, placing "Lord" first, is significant, because it is as "Lord" that he must be confessed (Romans 10:9). This dramatically emphasized his humility in washing their feet. Menial service for one's fellow Christians is taught by this example. read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - John 13:15

I have given you an example, that ye also should do as I have done unto you.This verse is the anchor of certain religious teachings which would honor as a continuing ordinance the ceremony of washing feet; but this was not a ceremony in any sense of the word. As Lipscomb noted:There is nothing in this that could indicate a special ordinance or formal observance to be perpetuated in the church. The foot washing of both the Old Testament and the New Testament was an act of helpful kindness when... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - John 13:16

Verily, verily, I say unto you, A servant is not greater than his lord; neither one that is sent greater than he that sent him.An expression similar to this was used by Jesus to show that his disciples would be hated and persecuted like himself (Matthew 10:24; John 15:20), and that the disciples of the Pharisees were as blind as their leaders (Luke 6:40). Tertullian made the words of this verse a mandate that no disciple might advocate a doctrine contrary to the teachings of the Lord, saying,... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - John 13:14

John 13:14. If I then—have washed your feet, &c.— This was, even to a proverb, one of the lowest offices of menial attendants. See 1 Samuel 25:41. Dr. Evans well observes, (Christian Temper, vol. i, p. 81.) that our Lord chose this kind office, though not necessary in itself, more strongly to impress the minds of his disciples, and to shew that they ought to regard, not only the necessary preservation, but the mutual comfort of each other. read more
