14 Y, dado que yo, su Señor y Maestro, les he lavado los pies, ustedes deben lavarse los pies unos a otros.

Juan 13:14 Meaning and Commentary

John 13:14

If I then your Lord and Master
Christ argues from these titles and characters, which his disciples rightly gave him, and from what he had done to them, though he stood in such a superior relation to them, to their duty one towards another; that since, says he, I

have washed your feet, ye also ought to wash one another's feet:
by which he does not mean barely, that they should perform this single action; but as this was an instance of humility and condescension, and doing a good office to strangers and travellers, and was afterwards an expression of love to the saints, see ( 1 Timothy 5:10 ) , so he would teach them hereby, to behave in a spirit of humility and condescension to one another, to do every kind and good office, and by love to serve one another in all things.

Juan 13:14 In-Context

12 Después de lavarles los pies, se puso otra vez el manto, se sentó y preguntó:

13 Ustedes me llaman “Maestro” y “Señor” y tienen razón, porque es lo que soy.

14 Y, dado que yo, su Señor y Maestro, les he lavado los pies, ustedes deben lavarse los pies unos a otros.

15 Les di mi ejemplo para que lo sigan. Hagan lo mismo que yo he hecho con ustedes.

16 Les digo la verdad, los esclavos no son superiores a su amo ni el mensajero es más importante que quien envía el mensaje.
