Contextual Overview

¹Before the Passover party, Jesus knew his time was short for this world. He knew he was leaving to go be with his Dad. But Jesus loved his cowboys up until the very end. ²They were eating the evening meal, and Judas had already made his deal with the devil. The plan was already in motion to double-cross Jesus. ³God had put everything in Jesus's command, and he knew it. He also knew he'd come from God and was fixing to go back. ⁴Jesus got up from the table, took off his clothes, and wrapped a towel around his waist. ⁵He poured water in a big bowl and started washing his cowboy's feet. He dried their feet with the towel he had wrapped around his waist. ⁶When he got to Pete, Pete said, "I ain't gonna let you lower yourself on my account. You ain't washin' my feet, Boss." ⁷Jesus looked up and said, "You don't understand what I'm doing right now, but one day you will." ⁸"It ain't gonna happen." Pete said, "I won't let you touch my nasty feet."Then Jesus said, "Then you don't ride for me." ⁹Pete changed his tone quickly and said, "Then start at my feet and then wash my hands and head!" ¹⁰Jesus said, "Those who shower in the morning don't need a bath in the evening. They just need their feet cleaned. This is about godliness, Pete, not grime. Everyone here is clean except for one."

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.”
