Yet he washed his feet

When the supper had ended, Christ proceeded to wash the feet of his disciples.  He knew that the "Father had given all things into his hands," and he knew who he was and where he was going.....

he knelt before them and began to wash their feet. 

.... the Redeemer of all mankind knelt before them with towel and water, and began lovingly to cleanse the filth from their feet. We must not miss this outpouring of service as a powerful testimony of his love for these men.   

Something often unnoticed is happening here, by the way. The Savior washed Judas' feet along with the others. Consider the implications.  Jesus was aware that within a few hours he would brutally, violently dead. He knew which of his closest friends would betray him, and yet he washed his feet, too. This is such a remarkable display of discipline and self-control that it defies any explanation, except the one the Savior gave when he explained what he had done. 

    Know ye what I have done to you? Ye call me Master and Lord: and ye say well; for so I am.  If I then, your Lord and Master, have washed your feet; ye ought also to wash one another's feet. For I have given you an example, that you should do as I have done to you. Verily, verily, I say unto you, the servant is not greater than his lord; neither he that is sent than he that sent him. If ye know these things, happy are ye if ye do them.
