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.

13:14a

So if I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet,

Because I, your^(plur) Lord and teacher, have washed your feet,
And even though I am your^(plur) leader and teacher, I served you by washing your feet.

So if I, your Lord and Teacher: The phrase that the BSB has translated as So if is more literally “if therefore” and means “because.” For example:

Because I, your Lord and Teacher…

The Greek text emphasizes the word I to make a contrast with the word “you” in 13:14b.

have washed your feet: It would be extremely unexpected for a Lord or Teacher to wash his disciples’ feet. Yet that is exactly what Jesus did. If Jesus could do this very humble act, then the disciples could do the same thing to each other (see 13:14b). That would involve a smaller amount of humility. The Greek text emphasizes the pronoun your to indicate a contrast with “one another’s” (also emphasized) in 13:14b.

13:14b

you also should wash one another’s feet.

you^(plur) should serve each other by washing each other’s feet.
So you^(plur) should serve each other in the same way, washing one another’s feet.

you also should wash one another’s feet: The Greek text emphasizes the words you and one another’s to indicate a contrast with “I” and “your” in 13:14a. Jesus tried to persuade the disciples by going from the greater to the lesser (smaller). If he (their Lord and Teacher) could wash their feet (the greater), then they could surely wash each other’s feet (the lesser). Translate this way of persuading in a way that is natural in your language. For example:

If it is proper for me, your teacher and master, to wash your feet, then you who obey and learn must also wash each other’s feet.

General Comment on 13:14a–b

In some languages it may be clearer to translate this verse as two sentences. For example:

I, your Lord and Teacher, have just washed your feet. You, then, should wash one another’s feet. (GNT)

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-condition-fact

εἰ οὖν ἐγὼ ἔνιψα ὑμῶν τοὺς πόδας, ὁ Κύριος καὶ ὁ Διδάσκαλος

if (Some words not found in SR-GNT: εἰ Οὖν ἐγώ ἔνιψα ὑμῶν τούς πόδας ὁ Κύριος καί ὁ Διδάσκαλος καί ὑμεῖς ὀφείλετε ἀλλήλων νίπτειν τούς πόδας)

Jesus is speaking as if this were a hypothetical possibility, but he means that it is actually true. If your language does not state something as a condition if it is certain or true, and if your readers might think that what Jesus is saying is not certain, then you could translate his words as an affirmative statement. Alternate translation: [If I then, the Lord and the Teacher, have washed your feet, and I have]
