Commentary -- Word/Phrase Notes (per phrase)

Robertson: Joh 13:10 - -- He that is bathed ( ho leloumenos ). Perfect passive articular participle of louō , to bathe the whole body (Act 9:37).

He that is bathed ( ho leloumenos ).

Perfect passive articular participle of louō , to bathe the whole body (Act 9:37).

Save to wash his feet ( ei mē tous podas nipsasthai ).

Aleph and some old Latin MSS. have only nipsasthai , but the other words are genuine and are really involved by the use of nipsasthai (first aorist middle infinitive of niptō , to wash parts of the body) instead of lousasthai , to bathe the whole body (just used before). The guest was supposed to bathe (louō ) before coming to a feast and so only the feet had to be washed (niptō ) on removing the sandals.

Robertson: Joh 13:10 - -- Clean ( katharos ). Because of the bath. For katharos meaning external cleanliness see Mat 23:26; Mat 27:59; but in Joh 15:3 it is used for spiritu...

Clean ( katharos ).

Because of the bath. For katharos meaning external cleanliness see Mat 23:26; Mat 27:59; but in Joh 15:3 it is used for spiritual purity as here in "ye are clean"(katharoi ).

Robertson: Joh 13:10 - -- Every whit ( holos ). All of the body because of the bath. For this same predicate use of holos see Joh 9:34.

Every whit ( holos ).

All of the body because of the bath. For this same predicate use of holos see Joh 9:34.

Robertson: Joh 13:10 - -- But not all ( all' ouchi pantes ). Strongly put exception (ouchi ). Plain hint of the treachery of Judas who is reclining at the table after having ...

But not all ( all' ouchi pantes ).

Strongly put exception (ouchi ). Plain hint of the treachery of Judas who is reclining at the table after having made the bargain with the Sanhedrin (Mar 14:11). A year ago Jesus knew that Judas was a devil and said to the apostles: "One of you is a devil"(Joh 6:64, Joh 6:70). But it did not hurt them then nor did they suspect each other then or now. It is far-fetched to make Jesus here refer to the cleansing power of his blood or to baptism as some do.

Vincent: Joh 13:10 - -- He that is washed - wash his feet ( ὁ λελουμένος - νίψασθαι ). The A.V. obliterates the distinction between λούω...

He that is washed - wash his feet ( ὁ λελουμένος - νίψασθαι ).

The A.V. obliterates the distinction between λούω , to bathe , to apply water to the whole body, and νίπτω , to wash a part of the body. Thus, when Dorcas died (Act 9:37) they bathed her body (λούσαντες ). The proverb in 2Pe 2:22, is about the sow that has been bathed all over (λουσαμένη ). On the other hand, he who fasts must wash (νὶψαι ) his face (Mat 6:17). Both verbs are always used of living beings in the New Testament. The word for washing things , as nets, garments, etc., is πλύνω . See Luk 5:2. All three verbs occur in Lev 15:11 (Sept.).

Wesley: Joh 13:10 - -- That is, to walk holy and undefiled.

That is, to walk holy and undefiled.

JFB: Joh 13:6-11 - -- Our language cannot bring out the intensely vivid contrast between the "Thou" and the "my," which, by bringing them together, the original expresses, ...

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 can be no doubt that already Peter's heart rebelled against it as a thing not to be tolerated, Jesus ministers no rebuke as yet, but only bids him wait a little, and he should understand it all.

JFB: Joh 13:10 - -- In this thorough sense, to express which the word is carefully changed to one meaning to wash as in a bath.

In this thorough sense, to express which the word is carefully changed to one meaning to wash as in a bath.

JFB: Joh 13:10 - -- To be so washed any more.

To be so washed any more.

JFB: Joh 13:10 - -- Needeth to do no more than wash his feet (and here the former word is resumed, meaning to wash the hands or feet).

Needeth to do no more than wash his feet (and here the former word is resumed, meaning to wash the hands or feet).

JFB: Joh 13:10 - -- 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 Christ...

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 complete absolution from sin as a guilty state, and entire deliverance from it as a polluted life (Rev 1:5; 1Co 6:11) --or, in the language of theology, Justification and Regeneration. This cleansing is effected once for all, and is never repeated. The other cleansing, described as that of "the feet," is such as one walking from a bath quite cleansed still needs, in consequence of his contact with the earth. (Compare Exo 30:18-19). It is the daily cleansing which we are taught to seek, when in the spirit of adoption we say, "Our Father which art in heaven . . . forgive us our debts" (Mat 6:9, Mat 6:12); and, when burdened with the sense of manifold shortcomings--as what tender spirit of a Christian is not?--is it not a relief to be permitted thus to wash our feet after a day's contact with the earth? This is not to call in question the completeness of our past justification. Our Lord, while graciously insisting on washing Peter's feet, refuses to extend the cleansing farther, that the symbolical instruction intended to be conveyed might not be marred.

JFB: Joh 13:10 - -- In the first and whole sense.

In the first and whole sense.

Important, as showing that Judas, instead of being as true-hearted a disciple as the rest at first, and merely falling away afterwards--as many represent it--never experienced that cleansing at all which made the others what they were.

He that is washed - That is, he who has been in the bath, as probably all the apostles had lately been, in order to prepare themselves the better for the paschal solemnity; for on that occasion, it was the custom of the Jews to bathe twice

Clarke: Joh 13:10 - -- Needeth not save to wash his feet - To cleanse them from any dirt or dust that might have adhered to them, in consequence of walking from the bath t...

Needeth not save to wash his feet - To cleanse them from any dirt or dust that might have adhered to them, in consequence of walking from the bath to the place of supper. The washing, therefore, of the feet of such persons was all that was necessary, previously to their sitting down to table; The Hindoos walk home from bathing barefoot, and, on entering the house wash their feet again. To this custom our Lord evidently alludes

If these last words of our Lord had any spiritual reference, it is not easy to say what it was. A common opinion is the following: He who is washed - who is justified through the blood of the Lamb, needeth only to wash his feet - to regulate all his affections and desires; and to get, by faith, his conscience cleansed from any fresh guilt, which he may have contracted since his justification

Clarke: Joh 13:10 - -- Ye are clean, but not all - Eleven of you are upright and sincere; the twelfth is a traitor. So it appears he had washed the feet of all the twelve;...

Ye are clean, but not all - Eleven of you are upright and sincere; the twelfth is a traitor. So it appears he had washed the feet of all the twelve; but as no external ablutions can purify a hypocrite or a traitor, therefore Judas still remained unclean.

Calvin: Joh 13:10 - -- 10.He who is washed needeth not to wash more than his feet, but is altogether clean First, he says that believers are altogether clean; not that th...

10.He who is washed needeth not to wash more than his feet, but is altogether clean First, he says that believers are altogether clean; not that they are in every respect pure, so that there no longer remains in them any stain, but because they are cleansed in their chief part; that is, when sin is deprived of its kingly power, so that the righteousness of God holds the superiority; just as if we were to say, that a body was altogether healthy, Because it was not infected with any universal disease. It is by newness of life, therefore, that we must testify ourselves to be the disciples of Christ, for he declares that he is the Author of purity in all his followers.

Again, the other comparison was also applied to the case in hand, that Peter might not set aside the washing of the feet as foolish; for, as Christ washes from the head to the feet, those whom he receives as his disciples, so, in those whom he has cleansed, the lower part remains to be daily cleansed. The children of God are not altogether regenerated on the first day, so as to aim at nothing but the heavenly life; but, on the contrary, the remains of the flesh continue to dwell in them, with which they maintain a continued struggle throughout their whole life. The term feet, therefore, is metaphorically applied to all the passions and cares by which we are brought into contact with the world; for, if the Holy Spirit occupied every part of us, we would no longer have anything to do with the pollutions of the world; but now, by that part in which we are carnal, we creep on the ground, or at least fix our feet ill the clay, and, therefor are to some extent unclean. Thus Christ always finds in us something to cleanse. What is here spoken of is not the forgiveness of sins, but the renewal, by which Christ, by gradual and uninterrupted succession, delivers his followers entirely from the sinful desires of the flesh.

And you are clean This proposition may be said to be the minor in the syllogism, and hence it follows that the washing of the feet applies to them with strict propriety.

But not all This exception is added, that every one may examine himself, if Judas may perhaps be moved by a feeling of repentance; though he intended by it to take an early opportunity of fortifying the rest of the disciples, that they might not be perplexed by the atrocity of the crime, which was soon afterwards to be made known. Yet he purposely abstains from naming him, that he may not shut against him the gate of repentance. As that hardened hypocrite 44 was utterly desperate, the warning served only to aggravate his guilt; but it was of great advantage to the other disciples, for by means of it the Divinity of Christ was more fully made known to them, and they likewise perceived that purity is no ordinary gift of the Holy Spirit.

Two different Greek words are used for "wash" in this verse, indicating a typological as well as practical teaching. The first "washed" means "bathed all over," as in the "washing of regeneration" (Tit 3:5) or the "washing of water by the word" (Eph 5:26). The second "wash" refers to a partial "cleansing" of only that part which needs it (the face, hands, feet, etc.). Thus, regeneration occurs once only but is followed by daily confession and cleansing (1Jo 1:7, 1Jo 1:9). In addition to the feet walking daily in a sinful world, the head and hands also may need daily cleansing; the head (or mind) needs to be "renewed" (Rom 12:2), and the hands prepared for service."

He that is washed - This is a difficult passage, and interpreters have been divided about its meaning. Some have supposed that it was customary to bathe before eating the paschal supper, and that the apostles did it; Jesus having said, "he that hath bathed his body is clean except in regard to his feet - to the dirt contracted in returning from the bath, and that there was need only that the feet should be washed in order to prepare them properly to receive the supper."They suppose, also, that the lesson which Jesus meant to teach was that they were really pure Joh 15:3; that they were qualified to partake of the ordinances of religion, and needed only to be purified from occasional blemishes and impurities (Grotius). Others say that there is not evidence that the Jews bathed before partaking of the Paschal Supper, but that reference is made to the custom of washing their hands and their face. It is known that this was practiced. See the Mat 15:2 note; Mar 7:3-4 notes. Peter had requested him to wash his hands and his head. Jesus told him that as that had been done, it was unnecessary to repeat it; but to wash the feet was an act of hospitality, the office of a servant, and that all that was needed now was for him to show this condescension and humility. Probably reference is had here to internal purity, as Jesus was fond of drawing illustrations from every quarter to teach them spiritual doctrine; as if he had said, "You are clean by my word and ministry Joh 15:3; you are my followers, and are prepared for the scene before you. But one thing remains. And as, when we come to this rite, having washed, there remains no need of washing except to wash the feet, so there is now nothing remaining but for me to show you an example that you will always remember, and that shall complete my public instructions to you."

Is clean - This word may apply to the body or the soul.

Every whit - Altogether, wholly.

Ye are clean - Here the word has doubtless reference to the mind and heart.

But not all - You are not all my true followers, and fitted for the ordinance before us.

Poole: Joh 13:10 - -- Look as it is with persons that have been washing themselves in a bath, when they are washed, yet walking abroad barefoot, or with thin sandals or c...

Look as it is with persons that have been washing themselves in a bath, when they are washed, yet walking abroad barefoot, or with thin sandals or coverings for their feet, will be again subject to pollute and dirty their feet, so as they will have frequent need to wash them again; but they need not soon again wash their whole bodies: so it is as to souls that are washed with my blood; washed, and sanctified, justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of God, (as the apostle speaketh, 1Co 6:11 ), their state is not to be renewed; they need not be justified a second time; but they will have need to have their feet washed, in regard of their remainder of sin and lust that is in them, and will be so while they are in the world, and the temptations which every where he in the world, as snares for their feet; they will have need of a daily washing by repentance, and fresh applications of their souls to my blood, by the repeated exercises of faith, according to their renewed and repeated acts of sin.

Ye are clean you, who are my apostles, are clean; you are washed, you are justified, I have forgiven your sins, accepted your persons.

But not all the most of you are so, but not all.

" He that is washed needeth not save to wash his feet"

When I was a little boy, about five years old, there was an old roadbed near our house. Springtime was at hand and it had rained. The old roadbed was a loblolly. Now the rain had stopped and the sun had come out blazing hot. I was outside playing, dressed in a light shirt and short pants. The loblolly of mud in the old roadbed caught my attention. What a great place to play! I waded in. My feet sank in the mud. I went in farther and it was about to my knees. Oh! What fun to feel the mud squirt between my toes and to hear the air suck in when I would pull a foot up. I must have played in the mud for quite a while. I had a good coat of it on my feet and on my legs up to above my knees. I didn’t realize it until later, but underneath the mud my tender white skin was sunburned. After a while I went to the house. Mama saw me coming before I got there. She met me at the front doorstep and said, " wait here while I get some water and soap. You can’t come in the house with that mud on you." She was back momentarily with a pan of water, soap and a washcloth. She went to work to get the mud off. That’s when we learned about the sunburn. It was terribly painful to get that sun-baked mud off. I kicked and screamed. Mama, recognizing the sunburn and realizing the pain I was experiencing, worked as gently as she could. Oh! How I wished she would just stop and leave the mud on. But she was persistent and after a while it was all off. My feet and legs burned and smarted something frightful, and I cried buckets of tears. Mama put some soothing salve or ointment on my sunburned skin and soon it was feeling much better. Before long I had eaten and was snug in a nice clean bed and asleep. Many years have passed since this little episode in my life. I had not thought of it for a long time until just recently. Now as I think about it I find a very good lesson in it. Mama kept a clean house, and a great part of her doing so was seeing that we children didn’t track mud into it.

Jerusalem, which is above, is free, which is the mother of us all.

Jesus washed his disciples’ feet, and in so doing taught some very important lessons. He taught us humility in being subject to one another as servants. One can hardly hold animosity toward another while kneeling at his feet. He taught us also that we should keep our feet clean. This has reference not to the natural dirt and dust that collect on our feet as we work or play, although for practical prudence’s sake we should practice physical cleanliness, but rather to our manner of living, the way we walk before God and each other. Our manner of life should be clean. It takes constant effort to maintain godly cleanliness. We need the assistance of each other. We need the knowledge of practical godliness found in the doctrine taught by Jesus. The church is the custodian and administrator of this knowledge. Each member of the church should submit one to the other in the effort to maintain godly cleanliness. We ought to wash each other’s feet. We are often tempted to walk in the muck and mire of worldliness even as I as a little boy walked and played in the mud of the old roadbed. The mud of worldliness clings to us, and becomes hard and crusty. To remove it is sometimes terribly painful. We may kick and scream against its removal, but we can not walk together in peace and fellowship in the church with mud on our feet. We should, with the greatest of humility, humbly submit to the church and be clean. When we engage in the feet-washing service at church we should understand that we are pledging ourselves to each other as servants to help in maintaining a clean and godly manner of life, keeping our feet clean. Jesus said, " He that is washed needeth not save to wash his feet." This simply teaches us that we are washed from our sins in the blood of Jesus Christ, but it is incumbent upon us to maintain practical cleanliness in our manner of living. " If I then, your Lord and Master, have washed your feet; ye also ought to wash one another’s feet." Knowing our weakness to temptation, we should covet the loving assistance of our brother, and at the same time be careful to give assistance in kind. " Brethren, if any of you do err from the truth, and one convert him; Let him know, that he which converteth the sinner from the error of his way shall save a soul from death, and shall hide a multitude of sins."{ Jas 5:19} We should be always eager and diligent to lend assistance to one in error, and we should be equally as eager and diligent to receive corrective admonition, and repent. Washing feet in church is not just a custom, or something we do because it has always been done. It is an emblem of our pledge to each other, and to the Lord Jesus Christ, to maintain godly cleanliness in His house. Daddy was the head of the house, but Mama was the housekeeper. Christ is the husband and head of His house, but the church is His bride and the housekeeper. May the Lord Jesus be glorified in the way we keep His house. Amen.

Haydock: Joh 13:10 - -- He that is washed, &c. The feet are always apt to contract some dust or dirt; and in the mystical sense, he that is washed by the sacraments of bapt...

He that is washed, &c. The feet are always apt to contract some dust or dirt; and in the mystical sense, he that is washed by the sacraments of baptism, or penance, from greater sins, must still endeavour to cleanse, and purify his affections from lesser failings of human frailty. And you, my apostles, are clean from greater offences, but not all of you, meaning the traitor Judas. (Witham) ---

It is impossible that the extremities of the soul (if we may be allowed the expression) should not, as long as we tread upon this earth, receive some stain or other; although in the opinion of men, the soul appear just. Many indeed after baptism, are covered with the dust of sin, even to the head, but those who are disciples indeed, need only to wash their feet. (Origen, tract. 32. in Joan.) ---

The foulness of the feet, when the rest is clean, signifies the earthly affections, and remains of former sins remitted, which are to be cleansed by devout acts of charity and humility. (St. Ambrose, lib. iii. de Sacram. chap. 1; St. Bernard, de cæn. Dom. ser. 1.) ---

Though his disciples were clean, still he washed their feet, comformably to that of the Apocalypse, chap. xxii. "He that is clean, let him be cleansed still." (Origen, tract. 32. in Joan.)

Gill: Joh 13:10 - -- Jesus saith to him, he that is washed,.... Not he that is baptized; for every such person is not wholly clean, but he who is regenerated by the Spirit...

Jesus saith to him, he that is washed,.... Not he that is baptized; for every such person is not wholly clean, but he who is regenerated by the Spirit of God, or rather, who is washed in the blood of Christ: such an one "is clean every whit"; is all over clean; not that he has no sin in him, nor commits any; but as he is washed in the blood of Christ, and justified by his righteousness, he is wholly and entirely clean in the sight of God; for he is justified from all things he could not be justified from by the law of Moses; all his sins are pardoned, and he is perfectly righteous before God; and so is perfectly clean through the word or sentence of justification and absolution pronounced on him, which must be understood in a forensic or law sense. And such an one

needeth not, save to wash his feet, but is clean every whit; the feet of his life and conversation, which are continually gathering dirt, and need daily washing in the blood of Christ; and therefore recourse must be constantly had to that fountain to wash in, for sin and for uncleanness. The allusion is either to persons washed all over in a bath, who have no need to wash again, unless their feet, which may contract some soil in coming out of it; or to travellers, who have often need to wash their feet, though no other part, and such is the case of the children of God in this life; or rather to the priests, who having bathed themselves in the morning, needed not to wash again all the day, except their hands and feet, on certain occasions x.

And ye are clean, but not all; which shows, that justifying and regenerating grace are common to all the true disciples of Christ; they are equally born again, alike justified, and are as clean one as an other in the sight of God; not only Peter, but all the apostles, were clean, excepting one; there was one of them, Judas, who was not clean; and therefore he says, but not all: whence it may be observed, that among the purest societies, there are some unclean persons; there was a Judas, an unclean person among the pure disciples of Christ; there are chaff and tares among his wheat, goats among his sheep, and foolish virgins along with the wise ones.
