Contextual Overview

1Now before the Passover Feast, Jesus knew that His hour had come [and it was time] for Him to leave this world and return to the Father. Having [greatly] loved His own who were in the world, He loved them [and continuously loves them with His perfect love] to the end (eternally). 2It was during supper, when the devil had already put [the thought of] betraying Jesus into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, 3that Jesus, knowing that the Father had put everything into His hands, and that He had come from God and was [now] returning to God, 4got up from supper, took off His [outer] robe, and taking a [servant's] towel, He tied it around His waist. 5Then He poured water into the basin and began washing the disciples' feet and wiping them with the towel which was tied around His waist. 6When He came to Simon Peter, he said to Him, "Lord, are You going to wash my feet?" 7Jesus replied to him, "You do not realize now what I am doing, but you will [fully] understand it later." 8Peter said to Him, "You will never wash my feet!" Jesus answered, "Unless I wash you, you have no part with Me [we can have nothing to do with each other]." 9Simon Peter said to Him, "Lord, [in that case, wash] not only my feet, but also my hands and my head!" 10Jesus said to him, "Anyone who has bathed needs only to wash his feet, and is completely clean. And you [My disciples] are clean, but not all of you."

Gill's Notes on the Bible

For he knew who should betray him,.... That is, Jesus, as Beza's ancient copy, and the Syriac and Persic versions read. This he knew from the beginning; not only from the beginning of his ministry, when he chose his twelve apostles, but from the beginning of time, yea, from everlasting; this being fixed by the determinate counsel of God, which he, as the omniscient God, was privy to: he knew what preparations were making, and how things were then working, in order to bring it about; he knew that Satan had already put it into Judas's heart, and that he had consented to it;

therefore, said he, ye are not all clean: he does not mention his name, though he could have done so, it not being as yet proper to make so full a discovery of him, before the matter was ripe for execution; and also to put all the disciples upon examination of themselves.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Who should betray him - Greek: “He knew him who was about to betray him.”
