3 [because he] knew that the Father had given him all [things] into [his] hands, and that he had come forth from God and was going away to God,

John 13:3 In-Context

1 Now before the feast of Passover, Jesus, knowing that his hour had come that he would depart from this world to the Father, [and] having loved [his] own in the world, loved them to the end.
2 And [as] a dinner was taking place, [when] the devil had already put into the heart of Judas [son] of Simon Iscariot that he should betray him,
3 [because he] knew that the Father had given him all [things] into [his] hands, and that he had come forth from God and was going away to God,
4 he got up from the dinner and took off [his] outer clothing, and taking a towel, tied [it] around himself.
5 Then he poured water into the washbasin and began to wash the feet of the disciples, and to wipe [them] dry with the towel {which he had tied around himself}.
