Sat down again ( anepesen palin ).

Second aorist active indicative of anapiptō , old compound verb to fall back, to lie down, to recline. Palin (again) can be taken either with anepesen , as here, or with eipen (he said again).

Robertson: Joh 13:12 - -- Know ye what I have done to you? ( ginōskete ti pepoiēka humin ). "Do ye understand the meaning of my act?"Perfect active indicative of poieō ...

Know ye what I have done to you? ( ginōskete ti pepoiēka humin ).

"Do ye understand the meaning of my act?"Perfect active indicative of poieō with dative case (humin ). It was a searching question, particularly to Simon Peter and Judas.

Vincent: Joh 13:12 - -- Was set down ( ἀναπεσὼν ) Literally, having reclined . The guests reclined on couches, lying on the left side and leaning on the l...

Was set down ( ἀναπεσὼν )

Literally, having reclined . The guests reclined on couches, lying on the left side and leaning on the left hand. The table was in the hollow square or oblong formed on three sides by the couches, the fourth side being open, and the table extending beyond the ends of the couches.

Vincent: Joh 13:12 - -- Know ye ( γινώσκετε )? Perceive or understand ye?

Know ye ( γινώσκετε )?

Perceive or understand ye?

JFB: Joh 13:12-15 - -- That is, its intent. The question, however, was put merely to summon their attention to His own answer.

That is, its intent. The question, however, was put merely to summon their attention to His own answer.

Clarke: Joh 13:12 - -- Know ye what I have done - Our Lord had told Peter, in the presence of the rest, Joh 13:7, that he should afterwards know what was the intent and me...

Know ye what I have done - Our Lord had told Peter, in the presence of the rest, Joh 13:7, that he should afterwards know what was the intent and meaning of this washing; and now he begins to fulfill his promise; therefore I think it more likely that he gives a command, here, than asks a question, as he knew himself that they did not comprehend his design. On this account γινωσκετε might be translated in the imperative mood, Consider what I have done.

Calvin: Joh 13:12 - -- 12.When then he had washed their feet Christ at length explains what was his intention in washing the feet of his disciples; for what he had said a...

12.When then he had washed their feet Christ at length explains what was his intention in washing the feet of his disciples; for what he had said about the spiritual washing was a sort of digression from his main design. Had it not been for the opposition made by Peter, Christ would not have spoken on that subject. Now, therefore, he discloses the reason of what he had done; namely, that he who is the Master and Lord of all gave an example to be followed by all the godly, that none might grudge to descend to do a service to his brethren and equals, however mean and low that service might be. For the reason why the love of the brethren is despised is, that every man thinks more highly of himself than he ought, and despises almost every other person. Nor did he intend merely to inculcate modesty, but likewise to lay down this rule of brotherly love, that they should serve one another; for there is no brotherly love where there is not a voluntary subjection in assisting a neighbor.

Know you what I have done? We see that Christ, for a short time, concealed his intention from his disciples, but that, after having tried their obedience, he seasonably revealed to them that which it was not expedient for them previously to know. Nor does he now wait till they ask, but of his own accord anticipates them. The same thing will be experienced by us also, provided that we suffer ourselves to be guided by his hand, even through unknown ways.

Know ye what ... - Do you know the meaning or design of what I have done unto you?

Poole: Joh 13:12 - -- After that our Saviour had finished this ceremony, and washed his disciples’ feet, (some question whether all or no, but I see no reason to do...

After that our Saviour had finished this ceremony, and washed his disciples’ feet, (some question whether all or no, but I see no reason to doubt it), he returned again to the supper, which probably now was near finished, which certainly was the common supper which the Jews had besides the passover supper, and probably before it, though some think after it. He asketh them if they knew the meaning of this which he had done unto them; lest they should not fully understand it, he openeth it to them in the following discourse.

Gill: Joh 13:12 - -- So after he had washed their feet,.... Not Peter's only, but the rest of the disciples also: some have thought, that he washed only the feet of some o...

So after he had washed their feet,.... Not Peter's only, but the rest of the disciples also: some have thought, that he washed only the feet of some of them, and not all; but it seems, by this expression, that he performed this service to each of them: and when he had gone through it with everyone of them:

and had taken his garments, and put them on,

and was sat down again; at the table with his disciples, supper not being yet ended; when having done his work as a servant, he reassumes the air and authority of Lord and master, and begins to teach and instruct, into the design and use of what he had been doing, which he introduces by putting this question;

he said unto them, know ye what I have done to you? They knew the outward action he had done to them, that he had washed their feet; but, as yet, they did not know the mystery of it, Christ's design in it, and what he would have them learn from it.
