Bible Verse Review
from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge
laid aside: That is, his gown, or upper coat, ×××פ××, with the girdle by which it was girdled close to his tunic, or inner coat; and instead of his girdle, he tied a towel about him, that he might have it in readiness to dry their feet,and that he might appear as a servant. Indeed the whole action was a servile one; and never performed by a superior to an inferior. Luke 12:37, Luke 17:7, Luke 22:27, 2 Corinthians 8:9, Philippians 2:6-8
Reciprocal: Genesis 24:32 - wash Genesis 43:24 - General Judges 19:21 - they washed 2 Kings 3:11 - poured water Matthew 20:28 - came Luke 7:38 - wash John 13:2 - supper

Gill's Notes on the Bible
He riseth from supper,.... In the midst of the entertainment, and which no doubt was considerable, his mind being intent on something else; and it being his meat and drink to do his Father's will, he rises and leaves his disciples sitting to finish their meal; and whilst they were murmuring at the waste of the ointment poured on his head, and were filled with indignation at it, as they all of them were, see Matthew 26:8; he rises up to wash their feet; amazing patience and humility!
And laid aside his garments; not all his garments, only his upper ones, that he might better dispatch the business he was going about; and which was an emblem of his laying aside, as it were for a while, his glory and dignity as the Son of God, and of his appearing in the form of a servant.
And took a towel; or "linen cloth", λενÏιον, the same with
××× ××ת in the Jerusalem Talmud r:
and girded himself; with the towel, or linen cloth, which served both for a girdle, and after he had washed his disciples' feet, to wipe them with. This was a servile habit; so servants used to stand at the feet of their masters, girt about with a linen cloth s; and shows, that the son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister.
r Sabbat, fol. 3. 1. & 12. 1. s Suetonius in Caligula, c. 26.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
He riseth from supper - Evidently while they were eating. See John 13:2.
Laid aside his garments - His outer garment. See the notes at Matthew 5:40. This was his mantle or robe, which is said to have been without seam. It was customary to lay this aside when they worked or ran, or in the heat of summer.
Took a towel and girded himself - This was the manner of a servant or slave. See the notes at Luke 17:8.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse John 13:4. He riseth from supper — Not from eating, as Bishop Pearce has well observed, but from his place at table; probably the dishes were not as yet laid down, though the guests were seated. According to the custom of the Jews and other Asiatics, this washing must have taken place before the supper. John 13:2.
Laid aside his garments — That is, his gown or upper coat, with the girdle wherewith it was girded close to his tunic or under coat; and, instead of this girdle, he tied a towel about him:
1. that he might appear in the character of a servant; and
2. that he might have it in readiness to dry their feet after he had washed them.
