- It was just before the Passover Feast. Jesus knew that the time had come for him to leave this world and go to the Father. Having loved his own who were in the world, he now showed them the full extent of his love.
- The evening meal was being served, and the devil had already prompted Judas Iscariot, son of Simon, to betray Jesus.
- Jesus knew that the Father had put all things under his power, and that he had come from God and was returning to God;
- so he got up from the meal, took off his outer clothing, and wrapped a towel around his waist.
- After that, he poured water into a basin and began to wash his disciples' feet, drying them with the towel that was wrapped around him.

- Перед праздником Пасхи Иисус, зная, что пришел час Его перейти от мира сего к Отцу, [явил делом, что], возлюбив Своих сущих в мире, до конца возлюбил их.
- И во время вечери, когда диавол уже вложил в сердце Иуде Симонову Искариоту предать Его,
- Иисус, зная, что Отец все отдал в руки Его, и что Он от Бога исшел и к Богу отходит,
- встал с вечери, снял [с Себя верхнюю] одежду и, взяв полотенце, препоясался.
- Потом влил воды в умывальницу и начал умывать ноги ученикам и отирать полотенцем, которым был препоясан.
