Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(5) After that he poureth water into a bason.--Better, . . . into the bason. It was the bason in the room, commonly used, and now ready for suck purposes. The water was at hand. All suggested then that one of the disciples might have performed this act which the Lord now performs. That it was commonly regarded as an act of reverence from an inferior to a superior is made clear by the Rabbinical passages quoted here by Schottgen and Lightfoot. (Comp. Note on Luke 7:44.)And began to wash the disciples' feet.--The exactness of the narrative notes that the act was only begun, and was interrupted by the objection of Peter. This word "began" is frequent in the earlier Gospels, but it is only in this touch of accuracy that St. John uses it.Parallel Commentaries ...GreekAfter that,εἶτα (eita)AdverbStrong's 1534: A particle of succession, then, moreover.He pouredβάλλει (ballei)Verb - Present Indicative Active - 3rd Person SingularStrong's 906: (a) I cast, throw, rush, (b) often, in the weaker sense: I place, put, drop.
