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

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

A. The Last Supper 13:1-30Jesus concluded each of His prolonged stays and ministries in a district with an important meal."At the first ’Supper,’ [i.e., the feeding of the 5,000, at the end of the Galilean ministry, mainly to Jews] the Jewish guests would fain have proclaimed Him Messiah-King; at the second [i.e., the feeding of the 4,000, at the end of the Decapolis ministry, mainly to Gentiles], as ’the Son of Man,’ He gave food to those Gentile multitudes which having been with Him those... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - John 13:3-5
Jesus washed the disciple’s feet fully aware of His authority from the Father, His divine origin, and His divine destiny. John’s mention of this awareness stresses Jesus’ humility and love still further. Washing feet in such a situation was the role of the most menial of servants (cf. John 1:27). [Note: Carson, The Gospel . . ., p. 462; Beasley-Murray, p. 233.] Here Jesus reversed normal roles and assumed the place of a servant rather than that of a rabbi. His act demonstrated love (John 13:1),... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - John 13:6-7
Most of the disciples remained silent as Jesus washed their feet, but Peter could not refrain from objecting. The Greek construction of what he said stresses the contrast between Jesus and himself. Jesus encouraged Peter to submit to having his feet washed with the promise that he would understand later why Jesus was washing them (cf. John 13:12-20). As the disciples did not understand that Jesus would die, they did not understand either the lessons that led up to His death. They would... read more
