John 13:4

“He riseth from supper, and laid aside his garments; and took a towel, and girded himself.”

Verse in context — John 13

And supper being ended, the devil having now 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 was come from God, and went to God;

He riseth from supper, and laid aside his garments; and took a towel, and girded himself.

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.

Then cometh he to Simon Peter: and Peter saith unto him, Lord, dost thou wash my feet?
