After Jesus had washed his disciples' feet and had put his outer garment back on, he sat down again. Then he said: Do you understand what I have done?
and when people saw me, they asked, “Why aren't you mourning for your wife?”
I am a warning sign—everything I have done, you will also do. And then you will know the LORD God has made these things happen.
Jesus asked his disciples if they understood all these things. They said, “Yes, we do.”
Jesus told them: If you don't understand this story, you won't understand any others.
Who do people think is the greatest, a person who is served or one who serves? Isn't it the one who is served? But I have been with you as a servant.
So during the meal Jesus got up, removed his outer garment, and wrapped a towel around his waist.
Jesus answered, “You don't really know what I am doing, but later you will understand.”
