Peter said to him, You will never wash my feet! What feelings do you think Peter feel then? surprise, schock, proud refusal. What?he seems to almost give an order to Jesus - I will not allow you to do that. They don`t understand and yet they have already

Why did Jesus wash the disciples` feet when Judas was present, rather than watiing until that betrayer had left?
He knows that the Father had given all things into his hands, and that he came forth from God, and was going to God.He loved his own who were in the world, he loved them to the end. By: Kah Bik Cheong - May 05, 2008 - Public Category: Jesus Washes His Disciples` Feet

Jesus washed the disciples' feet when Judas was present, rather than waiting until that betrayer had left because He wanted to show His humility to all His diciples especially to the sinner like Judas, and wanted him to turn arround away from sin---repent!

Because Jesus was giving an example of what he wanted his disciples to do. So when he had washed their feet, put his outer garment back on and sat down again, he said to them, "Do you know what I have done to you? You call me, Teacher and Lord. You say so correctly, for so I am. If I then, the Lord and the Teacher have washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another's feet. You are clean, but not all of you, "For he knew him who would betray him- Judas Iscariot." Jesus is Lord of All.

Jesus washed the desciple's feet to give an example to the desciples that they should love & share the glory of God to all - including the sinners to win them to the kingdom of God. The action of Jesus shows that He loves everyone including sinners. Jesus knew His task for everything was in His hands and that He came from above . Jesus showed His humility by wiping the feet of His desciples. I guest and believe that this might be done to prepare the desciples for the great commision " Mathew 28 Vs 19-20" that they should do the same when He is taken up to heaven.

Hello dear friends, Jesus wanted to show how humble the disciples had to be.He humbled him self to that level of washing their feet something which nobody never expected.Jesus was never scared of anything so there was no point in Peter's presence or absence during this session.

I think because he wanted Judas to know that he knew he betrayed him. He wanted him to know to treat one another the way he treated you.

If I then, the Lord and the Teacher, have washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another's feet. For I have given you an example, that you also should do as I have done to you. Most certainly I tell you, a servant is not greater than his lord, neither one who is sent greater than he who sent him. If you know these things, blessed are you if you do them. --Lesson servanthood with all humility, the Savior demonstrates this in the washing of the feet; we are to do as He does in all things with a servant heart and with all humility.

Some ancients have supposed that our Lord began with washing the feet of Judas, to inspire him with sentiments of compunction and remorse, to melt him down with kindness and to show His disciples how they should act toward their enemies. He said, `Ye are clean, but not all` - It appears he washed the feet of all twelve; but as no external ablutions can purify a hypocrite or a traitor, therefore Judas still remained unclean.

Now before the feast
of the Passover, Jesus, knowing that his time had come that he would
depart from this world to the Father, having loved his own who were in the
world, he loved them to the end. After supper, the devil having
already put into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, to betray him,
Jesus, knowing that the
Father had given all things into his hands, and that he came forth from
God, and was going to God, arose from supper, and laid aside
his outer garments. He took a towel, and wrapped a towel around his waist.
Then he poured water into
the basin, and began to wash the disciples' feet, and to wipe them with
the towel that was wrapped around him. Then he came to SimonPeter. He
said to him, "Lord, do you wash my feet?"
Jesus answered him,
"You don't know what I am doing now, but you will
understand later." Peter said to him,
"You will never wash my feet!"
Jesus answered him, "If I don't wash you, you have
no part with me." SimonPeter said to
him, "Lord, not my feet only, but also my hands and my head!"
Jesus said to him,
"Someone who has bathed only needs to have his feet
washed, but is completely clean. You are clean, but not all of
you." For he
knew him who would betray him, therefore he said, "You are not all clean." So when he had washed their
feet, put his outer garment back on, and sat down again, he said to them,
"Do you know what I have done to you? You call me, 'Teacher' and
'Lord.' You say so correctly, for so I am. If I then, the Lord and the
Teacher, have washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another's feet.
For I have given you an
example, that you also should do as I have done to you. Most certainly I tell you, a
servant is not greater than his lord, neither one who is sent greater than
he who sent him. If you
know these things, blessed are you if you do them.
