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.

13:15a

I have set you an example

The Greek begins this verse with a conjunction that means “because.” It introduces the reason why the disciples should wash one another’s feet. Here are some ways to translate this conjunction:

Because

The reason that I did this

I have set you an example: This clause indicates that Jesus had shown his disciples how they should behave. He acted in the way that he wanted them to act. Here are other ways to translate this clause:

For I have given you an example (ESV)

I have given you an example to follow. (NLT)

I did this as an example (NCV)

you: The pronoun you is plural and refers to all the disciples.

an example: The Greek word that the BSB translates as example here means pattern or way of life to be imitated. Jesus showed the disciples what to do by doing it himself. He had washed their feet to give them an example of humility and service. This was an example or demonstration of how they should act/behave. Jesus wanted them to follow his example and serve each other. That was more important than actually washing feet, although it was a good way to serve others at that time,

13:15b

so that you should do as I have done for you.

so that you should do as I have done for you: This clause indicates that Jesus wanted the disciples to act as he had done. He had served them in a humble way, and he wanted them to serve one another in the same humble way. So it does not just refer to washing feet, although that could be included. Here are other ways to translate this clause

so that you may copy what I have done to you (NJB)

that you should follow (GW)

you should do the same to each other (CEV)

The Greek has a word that many English versions translates as “also.” In some languages it may be necessary or natural to translate the word explicitly. For example:

you also should do as I have done to you (NRSV)

as I have done for you: In some languages the words for you may imply something negative. In those languages you may want to make clear that Jesus did something to benefit the disciples. For example:

as I helped/served you

General Comment on 13:15a–b

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

I have given you an example to follow. Do as I have done to you. (NLT)

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / declarative

καθὼς ἐγὼ ἐποίησα ὑμῖν, καὶ ὑμεῖς ποιῆτε

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: ὑπόδειγμα Γάρ ἔδωκα ὑμῖν ἵνα καθώς ἐγώ ἐποίησα ὑμῖν καί ὑμεῖς ποιῆτε)

Jesus is using a statement to give an instruction. Jesus is telling his disciples to follow his example and serve one another. If this is confusing in your language, you can use a more natural form for instruction. Alternate translation: [you also must do just as I did to you]
