SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 13:1–20: Jesus washed his disciples’ feet

Beginning in this section, Jesus ate supper with the disciples for the last time. First he washed their feet as an example of loving service.

Here are some other possible section headings:

Jesus washed his disciples’ feet at the last supper

Jesus set an example by washing feet

Jesus served his disciples by washing their feet

Paragraph 13:12–17

In this paragraph Jesus explained why he washed his disciples’ feet. Although he was their master, he served them. Now they should serve each other.

13:13a

You call Me Teacher and Lord,

You^(plur) call me ‘Teacher’ and/or ‘Lord’
You say that I am your teacher and leader

You call Me Teacher and Lord: Jesus reminded the disciples that they called him their teacher and their Lord. They called him those ways because that was how they thought about him. They considered him to be their teacher and their Lord. Here are other ways to translate this clause:

You call me your teacher and Lord (CEV)

You address me as Teacher and Lord

You speak to me saying “our Teacher” or “our Lord”

You: This pronoun is plural and refers to the disciples. The Greek text emphasizes this pronoun. Here is one way to indicate this emphasis:

You yourselves

Teacher and Lord: Sometimes the disciples addressed Jesus as Teacher and sometimes as Lord. They did not usually use both titles together. It may therefore be natural to say:

Teacher or Lord

Teacher: The Greek word that the BSB translates as Teacher was a polite title for a Jewish religious leader. It was a title of respect for a Jewish man who had authority to teach about God. In some languages the suitable way to address a religious teacher may be:

Sir/Honored Teacher

My/Our Teacher

Master

Be careful not to use a term that can refer only to a school teacher. See how you translated this in 1:38c, 3:2b, 3:10a, and 8:4.

Lord: Translate this as you did in 13:9. If you normally use a possessive pronoun with this word, it may be natural to use the plural pronoun here. For example:

Our ^(excl) Master

13:13b

and rightly so, because I am.

and you^(plur) are correct in calling me that because I am your teacher and your Lord.
which, of course, I am.

and rightly so: This clause means “you are correct in calling me Lord and Master.” Here are other ways to translate this clause:

and that is proper

and do so correctly (NET)

I am: This clause means “I am your teacher and your Lord.”
