Context
Washing the Disciples’ Feet
13:1 Just before the Passover feast , Jesus knew that his time had come to depart from this world to the Father . Having loved his own who were in the world , he now loved them to the very end .
13:2 The evening meal was in progress , and the devil had already put into the heart of Judas Iscariot , Simon’s son , that he should betray Jesus .
13:3 Because Jesus knew that the Father had handed all things over to him , and that he had come from God and was going back to God ,
13:4 he got up from the meal , removed his outer clothes , took a towel and tied it around himself .
