Contextual Overview

1 It was almost time for the Passover Feast. Jesus knew that it was time for him to leave this world and go back to the Father. He had always loved those who were his own in the world, and he loved them all the way to the end. 2 Jesus and his followers were at the evening meal. The devil had already persuaded Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon, to turn against Jesus. 3 Jesus knew that the Father had given him power over everything and that he had come from God and was going back to God. 4 So during the meal Jesus stood up and took off his outer clothing. Taking a towel, he wrapped it around his waist. 5 Then he poured water into a bowl and began to wash the followers' feet, drying them with the towel that was wrapped around him. 6 Jesus came to Simon Peter, who said to him, "Lord, are you going to wash my feet?" 7 Jesus answered, "You don't understand now what I am doing, but you will understand later." 8 Peter said, "No, you will never wash my feet." Jesus answered, "If I don't wash your feet, you are not one of my people." 9 Simon Peter answered, "Lord, then wash not only my feet, but wash my hands and my head, too!" 10 Jesus said, "After a person has had a bath, his whole body is clean. He needs only to wash his feet. And you men are clean, but not all of you."

Gill's Notes on the Bible

For he knew who should betray him,.... That is, Jesus, as Beza's ancient copy, and the Syriac and Persic versions read. This he knew from the beginning; not only from the beginning of his ministry, when he chose his twelve apostles, but from the beginning of time, yea, from everlasting; this being fixed by the determinate counsel of God, which he, as the omniscient God, was privy to: he knew what preparations were making, and how things were then working, in order to bring it about; he knew that Satan had already put it into Judas's heart, and that he had consented to it;

therefore, said he, ye are not all clean: he does not mention his name, though he could have done so, it not being as yet proper to make so full a discovery of him, before the matter was ripe for execution; and also to put all the disciples upon examination of themselves.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Who should betray him - Greek: “He knew him who was about to betray him.”
