### Why did John write that Jesus "knew his hour had come" (13:1)?

See: Metaphor

Why did John write, "the Father had given everything over into Jesus hands" (13:3)?
### Why did John write, "the Father had given everything over into Jesus hands" (13:3)?
John wrote, "the Father had given everything over into Jesus' hands." He wanted to say that God the Father gave Jesus power over everything that happened. Some scholars think God gave Jesus permission to choose when and how he would die. They think this because John also wrote that Jesus "had come from God and was going back to God" (13:3). Other scholars think God gave Jesus power over the whole world. They think this because many other verses talk about this (see: Mark 5:30, Acts 10:38, Romans 1:4, Colossians 1:15-18, 2 Peter 1:16). Other scholars think that John wanted to say both of these things.

Why did Jesus wash his disciples' feet (13:3-5)?
Jesus washed his disciples' feet for two reasons:
### Why did Jesus wash his disciples' feet (13:3-5)?
Jesus washed his disciples' feet for two reasons:
He did this to clean their feet. The roads in Palestine were made of dirt. People walked everywhere. So their feet had dirt on them.
He did this so that they would know that they needed to serve other people (See: 13:14-16). Only servants or slaves washed people’s feet. When Jesus lived, it was shameful to wash someone else’s feet. But Jesus washed his disciples' feet. He is the Son of God and not a servant or slave. He rules over everything, yet he served others. He wanted people to serve other people.
