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 13:2–5

During supper, Jesus washed his disciples’ feet. At that time people wore sandals, not closed shoes, and so their feet became very dusty and dirty. Normally servants washed their feet.

13:5a

After that, He poured water into a basin

After that: The Greek word that the BSB translates as After that introduces what Jesus did next. Here is another way to translate this word:

Next

He poured water into a basin: Jesus poured water from a large container into a smaller container or basin.

basin: This word refers to a container to carry water in and pour water from. It was likely a clay pot. Here are other ways to translate this word:

washbasin (NET)

bowl (NCV)

13:5b

and began to wash the disciples’ feet

and began to wash the disciples’ feet: The job of washing other people’s feet was considered a humble and unpleasant one. It was normally done by women, children, or Gentile slaves.

wash: The Greek word that the BSB translates as wash refers to the removal of dirt from the body.

the disciples’ feet: The Greek word that the BSB translates as disciples’ refers to learners in a learner-teacher relationship. The learner follows his teacher in order to learn from him and live according to his teaching and example.

Here are some ways to translate “disciple”:

learner/student

follower

For more information on how to translate the term “disciple” see 1:35b in the Notes. Also see disciple in KBT. Here it may be natural to make it explicit that these were Jesus’ disciples. For example:

his disciples (NIV)

13:5c

and dry them with the towel that was around Him.

and dry them: The pronoun them refers to the disciples’ feet. Jesus wiped them with the towel in order to dry them. Here is a way to make that clearer:

drying them (NIV)

with the towel that was around Him: This is the towel Jesus had wrapped around his waist (13:4c). Identify this towel in a way that is natural in this context.

While the BSB translates this clause as active, it is passive in Greek, and in some languages it may be more natural to translate it as passive.The Greek text more literally says “the towel with which he was girded.” The verb “girded” is no longer commonly used in English. It refers to putting a belt or piece of cloth around one’s waist. There are several ways to translate this:

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / pastforfuture

βάλλει

˱he˲_˓is˒_putting

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 / activepassive

ᾧ ἦν διεζωσμένος

˱with˲_which ˱he˲_was ˓having_been˒_girded

If your language does not use the passive form in this way, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: [that he had tied around himself]

TSN Tyndale Study Notes:

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).

OET (OET-LV) Thereafter he_is_putting water into the wash_basin, and began to_be_washing the feet of_the apprentices/followers, and to_be_wiping_off them with_the linen_towel with_which he_was having_been_girded.

OET (OET-RV) Then he put water into the wash bowl and started washing the feet of his apprentices, wiping them dry with the linen towel that he was wearing wrapped around him.

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

Acknowledgements: The SR Greek text, lemmas, morphology, and VLT gloss are all thanks to the CNTR.
