Jesus retained his authority but took on a servant’s role
“Lord, are you going to wash my feet?” (13:6) “Unless I wash you, have no part with me” (13:8)
“Then wash my hands and head as well, not just my feet!” (13:9) Body = salvation (once) Feet = confession (repeated) Two washings:
Humble service curbs pride 1. Voluntary 2. No complaining 3. Unconventional
