Joh 13:20. Ἀμὴν, ἀμήν, verily, verily) Jesus, after having imbued His disciples, in Joh 13:1 and following verses, with His own disposition, and His own purity, with a view to their sanctification, now also graces them with His own authority. He who has beautiful [ὡραίους] feet, Joh 13:5 [as were the disciples’ feet, when washed by Jesus]-Rom 10:15, “How beautiful (ὡραῖοι) are the feet of them that preach the Gospel of peace”-and who humbles himself-Joh 13:14, “Ye ought to wash one another’s feet;” Mat 18:4-5, “Whosoever shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven; and whoso shall receive one such little child in My name receiveth Me,”-the same [and he alone] can act as an ambassador of Christ, Joh 13:16, [for such is Christ’s own character] “The servant is not greater than his Lord.”
