Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - John 13:5

5. began to wash—proceeded to wash. Beyond all doubt the feet of Judas were washed, as of all the rest. read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - John 13:6

6-11. Peter saith . . . Lord, dost thou wash my feet?—Our language cannot bring out the intensely vivid contrast between the "Thou" and the "my," which, by bringing them together, the original expresses, for it is not good English to say, "Lord, Thou my feet dost wash?" But every word of this question is emphatic. Thus far, and in the question itself, there was nothing but the most profound and beautiful astonishment at a condescension to him quite incomprehensible. Accordingly, though there... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - John 13:7

7. Jesus answered and said . . . What I do thou knowest not now—that is, Such condescension does need explanation; it is fitted to astonish. but thou shall know hereafter—afterwards, meaning presently; though viewed as a general maxim, applicable to all dark sayings in God's Word, and dark doings in God's providence, these words are full of consolation. read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - John 13:8

8. Peter saith unto him, Thou shalt never wash, &c.—more emphatically, "Never shalt Thou wash my feet": that is, "That is an incongruity to which I can never submit." How like the man! If I wash thee not, thou hast no part with me—What Peter could not submit to was, that the Master should serve His servant. But the whole saving work of Christ was one continued series of such services, ending with and consummated by the most self-sacrificing and transcendent of all services: THE SON OF MAN... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - John 13:9

9. Lord, not my feet only, but also my hands and my head—that is, "To be severed from Thee, Lord, is death to me: If that be the meaning of my speech, I tread upon it; and if to be washed of Thee have such significance, then not my feet only, but hands, head, and all, be washed!" This artless expression of clinging, life-and-death attachment to Jesus, and felt dependence upon Him for his whole spiritual well-being, compared with the similar saying in John 6:68; John 6:69 (see on John 6:69- :),... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - John 13:10

10. He that is washed—in this thorough sense, to express which the word is carefully changed to one meaning to wash as in a bath. needeth not—to be so washed any more. save to wash his feet—needeth to do no more than wash his feet (and here the former word is resumed, meaning to wash the hands or feet). but is clean every whit—as a whole. This sentence is singularly instructive. Of the two cleansings, the one points to that which takes place at the commencement of the Christian life, embracing... read more

12-15. Know ye what I have done?—that is, its intent. The question, however, was put merely to summon their attention to His own answer. read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - John 13:1

This verse contradicts the Synoptic accounts of the Passover (e.g., Mark 14:12) only if it introduces everything in chapters 13-17. Evidently it introduces only the account of foot-washing that follows."As the first Passover had been the turning point in the redemption of the people of God, so the Cross would be the opening of a new era for believers." [Note: Tenney, "John," p. 135.] The word "world" (Gr. cosmos) is an important one in this section of the Gospel where it appears about 40 times... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - John 13:1-11

The act of foot-washing 13:1-11"In the Synoptic account of the events of this evening we read of a dispute among the disciples as to which of them would be the greatest. John does not record this, but he tells of an action of Jesus that rebuked their lack of humility more strikingly than any words could have done." [Note: Morris, p. 544.] The emphasis in John 13:1-3 is on what the Lord knew, and in John 13:4-5 it is on what He did. read more
