ἐγείρεται & τίθησιν
˱he˲_/is_being/_raised & /is/_laying_‹aside›
Here John uses the present tense in past narration in order to call attention to a development in the story.
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
ἐγείρεται ἐκ τοῦ δείπνου
˱he˲_/is_being/_raised from the supper
During Jesus’ time, people would often eat meals while lying on their sides on low couches next to the table. Here, gets up means that Jesus went from lying on his side on a couch next to the table where he was eating supper to standing up. If this might confuse your readers, you could express the meaning explicitly. Alternate translation: “he gets up from the table where he was eating supper”
τίθησιν τὰ ἱμάτια
/is/_laying_‹aside› his clothes
Here, outer clothing refers to clothing that is worn over undergarments. It does not refer to a coat that would be worn over a person’s regular clothing. Use the term in your language for the regular clothing that people wear on top of their underwear.
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
λαβὼν λέντιον
/having/_taken /a/_linen_towel
Here, towel refers to piece of cloth that is long enough to wrap around Jesus’ waist and still has enough leftover cloth to wipe the disciples’ feet. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this explicitly. Alternate translation: “having taken a long towel”
13:1-38 The setting is Jesus’ final Passover meal on Thursday evening, when Judas Iscariot betrays Jesus. John does not record the meal itself as the synoptic Gospels do (Matt 26:17-29; Mark 14:12-25; Luke 22:7-20; see also 1 Cor 11:23-26). John emphasizes other activities at the event, such as the foot washing (John 13:1-17), Judas’s betrayal (13:18-30), and the prediction of Peter’s denials (13:31-38).

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Greek words that they’re translated from.
