Contextual Overview

1 Now before the feast of the passover, when Jesus knew that his hour was come that he should depart out of this world to the Father, having loved his own who were in the world, he loved them to the end. 2 And supper being ended (the devil having now put into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon's [son], to betray him;) 3 Jesus knowing that the Father had given all things into his hands, and that he had come from God, and was going to God; 4 He riseth from supper, and laid aside his garments; and took a towel, and girded himself. 5 After that, he poured water into a basin, and began to wash the disciples feet, and to wipe [them] with the towel with which he was girded. 6 Then he cometh to Simon Peter: and Peter saith to him, Lord, dost thou wash my feet? 7 Jesus answered and said to him, What I do thou knowest not now; but thou shalt know hereafter. 8 Peter saith to him, Thou shalt never wash my feet. Jesus answered him, If I wash thee not, thou hast no part with me. 9 Simon Peter saith to him, Lord, not my feet only, but also [my] hands and [my] head. 10 Jesus saith to him, He that is washed needeth not save to wash [his] feet, but is wholly clean: and ye are clean, but not all.

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.”
