(KJV) John 13:5

After that he poureth water into a bason, and began to wash the disciples’ feet, and to wipe them with the towel wherewith he was girded.

This dramatic act of foot washing, typically performed by servants, occurred on the last night of Jesus life on earth, Jesus did it

1. to demonstrate to His disciples how much He loved them;
2. to foreshadow (symbolically predict) His self-sacrifice on the cross; and
3. to convey the truth that those who follow Him must humbly serve one another. A desire to be great had continually plagued the disciples (Matthew 18:1-4; 20:20-27; Luke 9:46-48). Christ wanted them to see that the desire to be first – to be superior and honored above others – is exactly the opposite of a Chrislike attitude, which He wanted them to imitate (Luke 22:24-30; John 13:12-17; 1 Peter 5:5).
